bas ye bala-e-ishq

yā to ḳhudā hasīnoñ ko kuchh ḳhatt-o-ḳhāl de

varna unheñ ḳhudā.ī se bāhar nikāl de

yā-rab mujhe na jaah hukūmat na maal de

bas ye balā-e-ishq mire sar se Taal de

piipe meñ Dhaal de ki surāhī meñ Dhaal de

saaqī sharāb piine kī hasrat nikāl de

samjhā.e kaun hazrat-e-nāseh ko rāz-e-ishq

kis tarah un ke dil meñ koī dil ko Daal de

jamhūr-e-ishq hai to musāvāt chāhiye

us ko majāl de to hameñ bhī majāl de

saaqī ye daam dene meñ gar radd-o-kad kareñ

baḌh kar janāb-e-shaiḳh kī pagḌī uchhāl de

soz-e-firāq de to chukā ab jhalak dikhā

ye kyā kahā raqīb se maiñ dostī karūñ

ye saañp āstīn meñ merī bhī paal de

aise to ban sakoge na tum markaz-e-nigāh

allāh saath husn ke kuchh chāl-Dhāl de

be-izn us galī meñ jo pahuñchā vo piT gayā

allāh kuchh raqīb ko fikr-e-ma.āl de

mujh ko tumhāre ishq ne kundan banā diyā

aisā na ho ki ab ye khaTā.ī meñ Daal de

iz.hār-e-ishq us se maiñ kartā nahīñ 'zarīf'

Dar hai chapat lagā ke na ghar se nikāl de

ya to KHuda hasinon ko kuchh KHatt-o-KHal de

warna unhen KHudai se bahar nikal de

ya-rab mujhe na jah hukumat na mal de

bas ye bala-e-ishq mere sar se Tal de

pipe mein Dhaal de ki surahi mein Dhaal de

saqi sharab pine ki hasrat nikal de

samjhae kaun hazrat-e-naseh ko raaz-e-ishq

kis tarah un ke dil mein koi dil ko Dal de

jamhur-e-ishq hai to musawat chahiye

us ko majal de to hamein bhi majal de

saqi ye dam dene mein gar radd-o-kad karen

baDh kar janab-e-shaiKH ki pagDi uchhaal de

soz-e-firaq de to chuka ab jhalak dikha

ye kya kaha raqib se main dosti karun

ye sanp aastin mein meri bhi pal de

aise to ban sakoge na tum markaz-e-nigah

allah sath husn ke kuchh chaal-Dhaal de

be-izn us gali mein jo pahuncha wo piT gaya

allah kuchh raqib ko fikr-e-maal de

mujh ko tumhaare ishq ne kundan bana diya

aisa na ho ki ab ye khaTai mein Dal de

izhaar-e-ishq us se main karta nahin 'zarif'

Dar hai chapat laga ke na ghar se nikal de
