kahte hain ki de meri bala dad kisi ki
kahte haiñ ki de merī balā daad kisī kī
kānoñ ko maza detī hai fariyād kisī kī
ronā hai tirā kaam magar dīda-e-tar dekh
tasvīr-e-ḳhyālī na ho barbād kisī kī
kartā huuñ gila un se jo vīrāni-e-dil kā
kahte haiñ ye bastī nahīñ ābād kisī kī
ābād ḳhudā rakkhe tujhe kū-e-mohabbat
miTTī nahīñ hotī yahāñ barbād kisī kī
kuchh aur to ham paas 'mubārak' nahīñ rakhte
rakhtā hai tamannā dil-e-nāshād kisī kī
kahte hain ki de meri bala dad kisi ki
kanon ko maza deti hai fariyaad kisi ki
rona hai tera kaam magar dida-e-tar dekh
taswir-e-KHyali na ho barbaad kisi ki
karta hun gila un se jo virani-e-dil ka
kahte hain ye basti nahin aabaad kisi ki
aabaad KHuda rakkhe tujhe ku-e-mohabbat
miTTi nahin hoti yahan barbaad kisi ki
kuchh aur to hum pas 'mubarak' nahin rakhte
rakhta hai tamanna dil-e-nashad kisi ki
