mujh ko kaafī hai bas ik terā muāfiq honā

saarī duniyā bhī muḳhālif ho to kyā hotā hai

mujh ko kafi hai bas ek tera muafiq hona

sari duniya bhi muKHalif ho to kya hota hai

ilm hāsil kar ke bhī miltī nahīñ hai naukrī

rahm ke qābil hai bas hālat hamārī in dinoñ

ilm hasil kar ke bhi milti nahin hai naukri

rahm ke qabil hai bas haalat hamari in dinon

butoñ meñ kis balā kī hai kashish allāh hī jaane

chale the shauq-e-ka.aba meñ sanam-ḳhāne meñ jā nikle

buton mein kis bala ki hai kashish allah hi jaane

chale the shauq-e-kaba mein sanam-KHane mein ja nikle

dikhā kar zahr kī shīshī kahā 'ranjūr' se us ne

ajab kyā terī bīmārī kī ye hakmī davā nikle

dikha kar zahr ki shishi kaha 'ranjur' se us ne

ajab kya teri bimari ki ye hakmi dawa nikle

agar chilman ke bāhar vo but-e-kāfir-adā nikle

zabān-e-shaiḳh se salle-alā salle-alā nikle

agar chilman ke bahar wo but-e-kafir-ada nikle

zaban-e-shaiKH se salle-ala salle-ala nikle
