dast-e-KHirad se parda-kushai na ho saki
dast-e-ḳhirad se parda-kushā.ī na ho sakī
husn-e-azal kī jalva-numā.ī na ho sakī
rañg-e-bahār de na sake ḳhārzār ko
dast-e-junūñ meñ ābla-sā.ī na ho sakī
ai dil tujhe ijāzat-e-fariyād hai magar
rusvā.ī hai agar shunavā.ī na ho sakī
mandir bhī saaf ham ne kiye masjideñ bhī paak
mushkil ye hai ki dil kī safā.ī na ho sakī
fikr-e-ma.āsh o ishq-e-butāñ yād-e-raftagāñ
in mushkiloñ se ahd-bar.ā.ī na ho sakī
ġhāfil na tujh se ai ġham-e-uqbā the ham magar
dām-e-ġham-e-jahāñ se rihā.ī na ho sakī
munkir hazār baar ḳhudā se huā bashar
ik baar bhī bashar se ḳhudā.ī na ho sakī
ḳhud zindagī burā.ī nahīñ hai to aur kyā
'mahrūm' jab kisī se bhalā.ī na ho sakī
dast-e-KHirad se parda-kushai na ho saki
husn-e-azal ki jalwa-numai na ho saki
rang-e-bahaar de na sake KHarzar ko
dast-e-junun mein aabla-sai na ho saki
ai dil tujhe ijazat-e-fariyaad hai magar
ruswai hai agar shunawai na ho saki
mandir bhi saf hum ne kiye masjiden bhi pak
mushkil ye hai ki dil ki safai na ho saki
fikr-e-maash o ishq-e-butan yaad-e-raftagan
in mushkilon se ahd-barai na ho saki
ghafil na tujh se ai gham-e-uqba the hum magar
dam-e-gham-e-jahan se rihai na ho saki
munkir hazar bar KHuda se hua bashar
ek bar bhi bashar se KHudai na ho saki
KHud zindagi burai nahin hai to aur kya
'mahrum' jab kisi se bhalai na ho saki
