pina nahin haram, hai zahr-e-wafa ki shart

piinā nahīñ harām, hai zahr-e-vafā kī shart

aao uThā deñ aaj mai-e-jāñ-fazā kī shart

shorīdgi-e-sar ke liye sañg-e-dar kī qaid

zanjīr-e-ġham ke vāste zulf-e-dotā kī shart

ho dopahar kī dhuup to palkoñ ke sā.ebāñ

rāteñ guzārnī hoñ to kaalī balā kī shart

ye kyā zarūr ho mizha-e-ishq ḳhūñ-fishāñ

kyuuñ dast-e-nāz ke liye rañg-e-hinā kī shart

har dil-figār ke liye kyuuñ chāk-e-pairahan

har dil-navāz ke liye band-e-qabā kī shart

kyā farz hai ki ham bhī baneñ qais-e-āmirī

rāh-e-junūñ meñ kyuuñ ho kisī naqsh-e-pā kī shart

kyuuñ dil ke toḌne ko kaheñ rasm-e-dilbarī

kyuuñ ho kisī se vāda-e-sabr-āzmā kī shart

kyuuñ ho kisī ko kūcha-e-qātil kī justujū

kyuuñ imtihāñ ke vāste teġh-e-jafā kī shart

kyuuñ zindagī ko jabr-e-musalsal kā naam deñ

kyuuñ ārzū-e-maut ko dast-e-duā kī shart

kyuuñ har ghaḌī zabāñ pe ho jurm-o-sazā kā zikr

kyuuñ har amal kī fikr meñ ḳhauf-e-ḳhudā kī shart

ham ne ḳhud apne-āp zamāne kī sair kī

ham ne qubūl kī na kisī rahnumā kī shart

pina nahin haram, hai zahr-e-wafa ki shart

aao uTha den aaj mai-e-jaan-faza ki shart

shoridgi-e-sar ke liye sang-e-dar ki qaid

zanjir-e-gham ke waste zulf-e-dota ki shart

ho dopahar ki dhup to palkon ke saeban

raaten guzarni hon to kali bala ki shart

ye kya zarur ho mizha-e-ishq KHun-fishan

kyun dast-e-naz ke liye rang-e-hina ki shart

har dil-figar ke liye kyun chaak-e-pairahan

har dil-nawaz ke liye band-e-qaba ki shart

kya farz hai ki hum bhi banen qais-e-amiri

rah-e-junun mein kyun ho kisi naqsh-e-pa ki shart

kyun dil ke toDne ko kahen rasm-e-dilbari

kyun ho kisi se wada-e-sabr-azma ki shart

kyun ho kisi ko kucha-e-qatil ki justuju

kyun imtihan ke waste tegh-e-jafa ki shart

kyun zindagi ko jabr-e-musalsal ka nam den

kyun aarzu-e-maut ko dast-e-dua ki shart

kyun har ghaDi zaban pe ho jurm-o-saza ka zikr

kyun har amal ki fikr mein KHauf-e-KHuda ki shart

hum ne KHud apne-ap zamane ki sair ki

hum ne qubul ki na kisi rahnuma ki shart
