ajab kashish hai tire hone yā na hone meñ

gumāñ ne mujh ko haqīqat se bāñdh rakkhā hai

ajab kashish hai tere hone ya na hone mein

guman ne mujh ko haqiqat se bandh rakkha hai

koī to mo.ajaza aisā bhī ho apnī mohabbat meñ

tire inkār se iqrār kī sūrat nikal aa.e

koi to moajaza aisa bhi ho apni mohabbat mein

tere inkar se iqrar ki surat nikal aae

ḳhalā kā mas.ala hī muḳhtalif hai

samundar is qadar gahrā nahīñ hai

KHala ka masala hi muKHtalif hai

samundar is qadar gahra nahin hai

sabhī ta.abīr us kī likh rahe haiñ

kisī ne bhī use dekhā nahīñ hai

sabhi tabir us ki likh rahe hain

kisi ne bhi use dekha nahin hai

kis ke savāl par ye dil rotā hai saarī saarī raat

kaun habīb hai mirā tere ḳhayāl ke sivā

kis ke sawal par ye dil rota hai sari sari raat

kaun habib hai mera tere KHayal ke siwa
