un ke jalvoñ pe hama-vaqt nazar hotī hai
kūcha-e-yār meñ yuuñ apnī basar hotī hai

jaane kyā chiiz mohabbat kī nazar hotī hai
vo jidhar hote haiñ duniyā hī udhar hotī hai

hosh vaale merī vahshat ko bhalā kyā samjheñ
un ke dīvānoñ ko aalam kī ḳhabar hotī hai

ishq meñ chāñd-sitāroñ kī haqīqat kyā ho
jalva-e-yār pe qurbān sahar hotī hai

aap kī yaad se hotā hai mirā dil raushan
aap ko dekh ke bedār nazar hotī hai

merī un ko na ḳhabar ho ye koī baat nahīñ
un ko to saare zamāne kī ḳhabar hotī hai

jazba-e-ishq meñ jannat kī tamannā kaisī
ye bulandī to mirī gard-e-safar hotī hai

hech hotī hai nigāhoñ meñ matā-e-kaunain
mere dilbar kī nazar jab bhī idhar hotī hai

mere dāman meñ samā jaate haiñ donoñ aalam
mere jānāñ kī nazar jab bhī idhar hotī hai

aur kyā hogī mire ishq kī me.arāj 'fanā'
zindagī yaar ke qadmoñ meñ basar hotī hai

un ke jalwon pe hama-waqt nazar hoti hai
kucha-e-yar mein yun apni basar hoti hai

jaane kya chiz mohabbat ki nazar hoti hai
wo jidhar hote hain duniya hi udhar hoti hai

hosh wale meri wahshat ko bhala kya samjhen
un ke diwanon ko aalam ki KHabar hoti hai

ishq mein chand-sitaron ki haqiqat kya ho
jalwa-e-yar pe qurban sahar hoti hai

aap ki yaad se hota hai mera dil raushan
aap ko dekh ke bedar nazar hoti hai

meri un ko na KHabar ho ye koi baat nahin
un ko to sare zamane ki KHabar hoti hai

jazba-e-ishq mein jannat ki tamanna kaisi
ye bulandi to meri gard-e-safar hoti hai

hech hoti hai nigahon mein mata-e-kaunain
mere dilbar ki nazar jab bhi idhar hoti hai

mere daman mein sama jate hain donon aalam
mere jaanan ki nazar jab bhi idhar hoti hai

aur kya hogi mere ishq ki mearaj 'fana'
zindagi yar ke qadmon mein basar hoti hai
