ji bahalta hai mohabbat mein kahin hamdam ghalat

jī bahaltā hai mohabbat meñ kahīñ hamdam ġhalat

kahne sunñe se bhī hotā hai kisī kā ġham ġhalat

aisī bātoñ kī tavaqqo' rakhiyegā aġhyār se

jhuuT ham kahte haiñ tum se baat koī ham ġhalat

us ne merā qissa-e-ġham jhuuT jaanā kis tarah

nāma-bar mazmūn-e-ḳhat meñ thā bahut hī kam ġhalat

haiñ havā.ī terī bāteñ terā sab kahnā hai jhuuT

ai sabā sābit huī terī ḳhabar har-dam ġhalat

un ke ab qaul-o-qasam hone lage kuchh-kuchh sahīh

un ke va.ade ab to kuchh hone lage kam-kam ġhalat

kaun se va.ade ko un ke jāniye dil meñ sahīh

qaul dete haiñ vo jhūTā dete haiñ vo dam ġhalat

'lutf' se jo kuchh kahā ab tak huā vo sab sahīh

saare va.ade aap ne jhūTe kiye paiham ġhalat

ji bahalta hai mohabbat mein kahin hamdam ghalat

kahne sunne se bhi hota hai kisi ka gham ghalat

aisi baaton ki tawaqqo' rakhiyega aghyar se

jhuT hum kahte hain tum se baat koi hum ghalat

us ne mera qissa-e-gham jhuT jaana kis tarah

nama-bar mazmun-e-KHat mein tha bahut hi kam ghalat

hain hawai teri baaten tera sab kahna hai jhuT

ai saba sabit hui teri KHabar har-dam ghalat

un ke ab qaul-o-qasam hone lage kuchh-kuchh sahih

un ke wade ab to kuchh hone lage kam-kam ghalat

kaun se wade ko un ke jaaniye dil mein sahih

qaul dete hain wo jhuTa dete hain wo dam ghalat

'lutf' se jo kuchh kaha ab tak hua wo sab sahih

sare wade aap ne jhuTe kiye paiham ghalat
