kisi surat se us mahfil mein ja kar

kisī sūrat se us mahfil meñ jā kar

muqaddar ham bhī dekheñ aazmā kar

taġhāful-kesh maiñ ne hī banāyā

use hāl-e-dil-e-shaidā sunā kar

uThā lene se to dil ke rahā maiñ

tū ab zālim vafā kar yā jafā kar

tire gulshan meñ pahuñche kaash ik din

nasīm-e-āshnā.ī raah pā kar

ḳhushī un ko mubārak ho ilāhī

vo ḳhush haiñ ḳhaak meñ mujh ko milā kar

dahan hai rashk se ġhunche kā pur-ḳhūñ

kidhar dekhā thā tum ne muskurā kar

vo sharmāte haiñ sun kar vasl kā naam

rahā huuñ maiñ jo chup to baat pā kar

huā vo bevafā.ī meñ musallam

nishān-e-turbat-e-āshiq miTā kar

gunāh apne mujhe yaad aa.e 'vahshat'

ḳhajil sā rah gayā maiñ haath uThā kar

kisi surat se us mahfil mein ja kar

muqaddar hum bhi dekhen aazma kar

taghaful-kesh main ne hi banaya

use haal-e-dil-e-shaida suna kar

uTha lene se to dil ke raha main

tu ab zalim wafa kar ya jafa kar

tere gulshan mein pahunche kash ek din

nasim-e-ashnai rah pa kar

KHushi un ko mubarak ho ilahi

wo KHush hain KHak mein mujh ko mila kar

dahan hai rashk se ghunche ka pur-KHun

kidhar dekha tha tum ne muskura kar

wo sharmate hain sun kar wasl ka nam

raha hun main jo chup to baat pa kar

hua wo bewafai mein musallam

nishan-e-turbat-e-ashiq miTa kar

gunah apne mujhe yaad aae 'wahshat'

KHajil sa rah gaya main hath uTha kar
