kaun kahta hai ki teri justuju karte rahe
kaun kahtā hai ki terī justujū karte rahe
sāda-dil ushshāq sharh-e-ārzū karte rahe
ġham kī bastī meñ karoḌoñ chāk-dāmān-e-alam
ziist ke har daur meñ fikr-e-rafū karte rahe
jis ne baḳhshā hī nahīñ kuchh sozish-e-ġham ke sivā
zindagī bhar ham usī kī aarzū karte rahe
ye thī nā-samjhī hamārī chhoḌ kar apnā dayār
tere kūche meñ talāsh-e-rang-o-bū karte rahe
ai dil-e-ḳhāna-ḳharāb us paikar-e-gul kī talāsh
dar-ba-dar sahrā-ba-sahrā kū-ba-kū karte rahe
kaun kahta hai ki teri justuju karte rahe
sada-dil ushshaq sharh-e-arzu karte rahe
gham ki basti mein karoDon chaak-daman-e-alam
zist ke har daur mein fikr-e-rafu karte rahe
jis ne baKHsha hi nahin kuchh sozish-e-gham ke siwa
zindagi bhar hum usi ki aarzu karte rahe
ye thi na-samjhi hamari chhoD kar apna dayar
tere kuche mein talash-e-rang-o-bu karte rahe
ai dil-e-KHana-KHarab us paikar-e-gul ki talash
dar-ba-dar sahra-ba-sahra ku-ba-ku karte rahe
