nahīñ kam afv-e-yazdānī bahut hai
gunāhoñ par pashemānī bahut hai

koī to hādisa guzrā hai dil par
shab-e-ġham aaj nūrānī bahut hai

diloñ par tah-ba-tah zulmat ke parde
jabīñ par nūr-e-īmānī bahut hai

idhar hī tishna-e-dīdār kam haiñ
udhar to jalva-sāmānī bahut hai

kise raas aa.e saudā-e-mohabbat
munāfe.a kam pareshānī bahut hai

zabāñ hai rahn-e-zikr-e-hūr-o-ġhilmāñ
ḳhayāl-e-pāk-dāmānī bahut hai

karo 'mahmūd' qismat par qanā.at
jo mil jaa.e ba-āsānī bahut hai

nahin kam afw-e-yazdani bahut hai
gunahon par pashemani bahut hai

koi to hadisa guzra hai dil par
shab-e-gham aaj nurani bahut hai

dilon par tah-ba-tah zulmat ke parde
jabin par nur-e-imani bahut hai

idhar hi tishna-e-didar kam hain
udhar to jalwa-samani bahut hai

kise ras aae sauda-e-mohabbat
munafea kam pareshani bahut hai

zaban hai rahn-e-zikr-e-hur-o-ghilman
KHayal-e-pak-damani bahut hai

karo 'mahmud' qismat par qanaat
jo mil jae ba-asani bahut hai
