kahte hain id hai aaj apni bhi id hoti

kahte haiñ iid hai aaj apnī bhī iid hotī

ham ko agar mayassar jānāñ kī diid hotī

qīmat meñ dīd-e-ruḳh kī ham naqd-e-jāñ lagāte

bāzār-e-nāz lagtā dil kī ḳharīd hotī

kuchh apnī baat kahte kuchh merā haal sunte

nāz-o-niyāz kī yuuñ guft-o-shunīd hotī

jalve dikhāte jaate vo tarz-e-dilbarī ke

aur dil meñ yaañ havā-e-nāz-e-mazīd hotī

teġh-e-nazar se dil par vo vaar karte jaate

aur lab pe yaañ sadā-e-hal-mim-mazīd hotī

abrū se un ke ġhamza tīr-e-adā lagātā

ye dil qatīl hotā ye jaañ shahīd hotī

kuchh hausla baḌhātā andāz-e-lutf-e-jānāñ

kuchh daġhdaġha sā hotā kuchh kuchh umiid hotī

kahte hain id hai aaj apni bhi id hoti

hum ko agar mayassar jaanan ki did hoti

qimat mein did-e-ruKH ki hum naqd-e-jaan lagate

bazar-e-naz lagta dil ki KHarid hoti

kuchh apni baat kahte kuchh mera haal sunte

naz-o-niyaz ki yun guft-o-shunid hoti

jalwe dikhate jate wo tarz-e-dilbari ke

aur dil mein yan hawa-e-naz-e-mazid hoti

tegh-e-nazar se dil par wo war karte jate

aur lab pe yan sada-e-hal-mim-mazid hoti

abru se un ke ghamza tir-e-ada lagata

ye dil qatil hota ye jaan shahid hoti

kuchh hausla baDhata andaz-e-lutf-e-jaanan

kuchh daghdagha sa hota kuchh kuchh umid hoti
