kyoñ kisī se ho shikāyat aap ko
aap hī se hai mohabbat aap ko

har taraf raqsāñ fareb-e-iltifāt
muskurāne kī hai aadat aap ko

jaane kab tak sabr karnā hai hameñ
jaane kab hogī nadāmat aap ko

quvvat-e-bardāsht merī kam na ho
aur ḳhudā rakhe salāmat aap ko

farq paḌtā kuchh to kartā arz kuchh
kyā sunā.ūñ dil kī durgat aap ko

muskurā detā huuñ maiñ taklīf meñ
aur ho jaatī hai zahmat aap ko

kis ko 'rāġhib' ab vafā kā paas hai
kyoñ na ham samjheñ ġhanīmat aap ko

kyon kisi se ho shikayat aap ko
aap hi se hai mohabbat aap ko

har taraf raqsan fareb-e-iltifat
muskurane ki hai aadat aap ko

jaane kab tak sabr karna hai hamein
jaane kab hogi nadamat aap ko

quwwat-e-bardasht meri kam na ho
aur KHuda rakhe salamat aap ko

farq paDta kuchh to karta arz kuchh
kya sunaun dil ki durgat aap ko

muskura deta hun main taklif mein
aur ho jati hai zahmat aap ko

kis ko 'raghib' ab wafa ka pas hai
kyon na hum samjhen ghanimat aap ko
