ḳhayāl dil ko hai us gul se āshnā.ī kā
nahīñ sabā ko hai da.avā jahāñ-rasā.ī kā

kahīñ vo kasrat-e-ushshāq se ghamanD meñ aa
Darūñ huuñ maiñ ki na da.avā kare ḳhudā.ī kā

mujhe to Dho ke thā zāhid par ik nigāh se aaj
ġhurūr kyā huā vo terī pārsā.ī kā

jahāñ meñ dil na lagāne kā leve phir koī naam
bayāñ karūñ maiñ agar terī bevafā.ī kā

na chhoḌā maar bhī khā kar guzar galī kā tirī
raqīb ko mire da.avā hai be-hayā.ī kā

nahīñ ḳhayāl meñ laate vo saltanat jam kī
ġhurūr hai jinheñ dar kī tire gadā.ī kā

jafā-e-yār se mat 'ishtiyāq' pher ke muñh
ḳhayāl kiijo kahīñ aur jubba-sā.ī kā

KHayal dil ko hai us gul se aashnai ka
nahin saba ko hai dawa jahan-rasai ka

kahin wo kasrat-e-ushshaq se ghamanD mein aa
Darun hun main ki na dawa kare KHudai ka

mujhe to Dho ke tha zahid par ek nigah se aaj
ghurur kya hua wo teri parsai ka

jahan mein dil na lagane ka lewe phir koi nam
bayan karun main agar teri bewafai ka

na chhoDa mar bhi kha kar guzar gali ka teri
raqib ko mere dawa hai be-hayai ka

nahin KHayal mein late wo saltanat jam ki
ghurur hai jinhen dar ki tere gadai ka

jafa-e-yar se mat 'ishtiyaq' pher ke munh
KHayal kijo kahin aur jubba-sai ka
