kar imtihan Tuk ho ke tu KHunKhaar yak taraf

kar imtihāñ Tuk ho ke tū ḳhuñḳhār yak taraf

maiñ aaj yak taraf huuñ tire yaar yak taraf

insāf hai ki ġhair se sohbat rakhe tū garm

baiThā rahūñ maiñ misl-e-gunahgār yak taraf

sīkhe ho kis se sach kaho pyāre ye chāl-Dhāl

tum yak taraf chalo ho to talvār yak taraf

naaz o karishma ishva-o-andāz aur adā

maiñ yak taraf huuñ itne sitamgār yak taraf

kis baat par tirī maiñ karūñ e'tibār haa.e

iqrār yak taraf hai to inkār yak taraf

dekheñ pirove kaun bhalā silk-e-laḳht-e-dil

maiñ ik taraf huuñ abr-e-guhar-bār yak taraf

'qā.em' har ek kūche meñ hai turfa-ta.aziya

yūsuf tire kī garmī-e-bāzār yak taraf

dallāl ek samt ko muñh se maleñ haiñ ḳhaak

sar pīTte phireñ haiñ ḳharīdār yak taraf

kar imtihan Tuk ho ke tu KHunKHar yak taraf

main aaj yak taraf hun tere yar yak taraf

insaf hai ki ghair se sohbat rakhe tu garm

baiTha rahun main misl-e-gunahgar yak taraf

sikhe ho kis se sach kaho pyare ye chaal-Dhaal

tum yak taraf chalo ho to talwar yak taraf

naz o karishma ishwa-o-andaz aur ada

main yak taraf hun itne sitamgar yak taraf

kis baat par teri main karun e'tibar hae

iqrar yak taraf hai to inkar yak taraf

dekhen pirowe kaun bhala silk-e-laKHt-e-dil

main ek taraf hun abr-e-guhar-bar yak taraf

'qaem' har ek kuche mein hai turfa-taziya

yusuf tere ki garmi-e-bazar yak taraf

dallal ek samt ko munh se malen hain KHak

sar piTte phiren hain KHaridar yak taraf
