ik umr dil ke paas rahā vo magar kahīñ

jab bhī milā to jaise ki kuchh jāntā nahīñ

āñkhoñ meñ ik ajiib shanāsā.ī thī magar

gahrā.iyoñ meñ dil kī pazīrā.ī thī magar

dekhā kuchh is tarah se ki pahchāntā nahīñ

kuchh ham se āshnā.ī hai ye māntā nahīñ

maiñ ne kahā ki tum se mulāqāt hai bahut

har roz rasm-o-rāh-e-mudārāt hai bahut

kahne lagā ki koī ḳhalish hai nigāh meñ

haa.il hai fāsla koī barsoñ kā raah meñ

mahv-e-safar haiñ aur abhī ham-safar nahīñ

hamrāh dil ke dil hai magar rahguzar nahīñ

ḳhvāboñ meñ sub.h-o-shām mile bhī agar to kyā

do-chār phuul dil meñ khile bhī agar to kyā

jo kuchh dil-o-nigāh ne chāhā vo ho gayā

ye sochā dil ne aur nigāhoñ meñ kho gayā

ek umr dil ke pas raha wo magar kahin

jab bhi mila to jaise ki kuchh jaanta nahin

aankhon mein ek ajib shanasai thi magar

gahraiyon mein dil ki pazirai thi magar

dekha kuchh is tarah se ki pahchanta nahin

kuchh hum se aashnai hai ye manta nahin

main ne kaha ki tum se mulaqat hai bahut

har roz rasm-o-rah-e-mudaraat hai bahut

kahne laga ki koi KHalish hai nigah mein

hail hai fasla koi barson ka rah mein

mahw-e-safar hain aur abhi ham-safar nahin

hamrah dil ke dil hai magar rahguzar nahin

KHwabon mein subh-o-sham mile bhi agar to kya

do-chaar phul dil mein khile bhi agar to kya

jo kuchh dil-o-nigah ne chaha wo ho gaya

ye socha dil ne aur nigahon mein kho gaya
