jab dil mein ghurur aae to danai bhi kya hai

jab dil meñ ġhurūr aa.e to dānā.ī bhī kyā hai

jab raat añdherī ho to bīnā.ī bhī kyā hai

jab Dūbnā Thahrā hai to tūfāñ kā kise ḳhauf

jab ashk samundar hoñ to gahrā.ī bhī kyā hai

jab zaḳhm hoñ siine meñ to phir dard hai kyā chiiz

gulshan meñ mire mauj-e-havā laa.ī bhī kyā hai

phir ġhair ke har jhuuT pe kartā hai yaqīñ vo

phir shauq ko sakta hai ki sachchā.ī bhī kyā hai

phir umr-e-gurezāñ ne kahā jaao chale jaao

kyā us se kahoge vahāñ sunvā.ī bhī kyā hai

phir dil ne kahā hañs ke vo sahrā ho qafas ho

jab us se bichhaḌnā hai to tanhā.ī bhī kyā hai

phir zikr mirā sun ke kahā us ne 'ra.īs' ek

bas chāk-garebāñ hai vo saudā.ī bhī kyā hai

jab dil mein ghurur aae to danai bhi kya hai

jab raat andheri ho to binai bhi kya hai

jab Dubna Thahra hai to tufan ka kise KHauf

jab ashk samundar hon to gahrai bhi kya hai

jab zaKHm hon sine mein to phir dard hai kya chiz

gulshan mein mere mauj-e-hawa lai bhi kya hai

phir ghair ke har jhuT pe karta hai yaqin wo

phir shauq ko sakta hai ki sachchai bhi kya hai

phir umr-e-gurezan ne kaha jao chale jao

kya us se kahoge wahan sunwai bhi kya hai

phir dil ne kaha hans ke wo sahra ho qafas ho

jab us se bichhaDna hai to tanhai bhi kya hai

phir zikr mera sun ke kaha us ne 'rais' ek

bas chaak-gareban hai wo saudai bhi kya hai
