lab-e-furaat wahi tishnagi ka manzar hai
lab-e-furāt vahī tishnagī kā manzar hai
vahī husain vahī qātiloñ kā lashkar hai
ye kis maqām pe laa.ī hai zindagī ham ko
hañsī laboñ pe hai siine meñ ġham kā daftar hai
yaqīn kis pe kareñ kis ko dost Thahrā.eñ
har āstīn meñ poshīda koī ḳhanjar hai
gila nahīñ mire hoñToñ pe tañg-dastī kā
ḳhudā kā shukr mirā dil abhī tavañgar hai
koī to hai jo dhaḌaktā hai zindagī ban kar
koī to hai jo hamāre diloñ ke andar hai
use qarīb se dekhā to ye huā mālūm
vo bū-e-gul nahīñ shamshīr-e-bād-e-sarsar hai
samajh ke aag lagānā hamāre ghar meñ tum
hamāre ghar ke barābar tumhārā bhī ghar hai
mirī jabīñ ko haqārat se dekhne vaale
mirī jabīñ se tirā āstāñ munavvar hai
tumhāre qurb kī lazzat nasīb hai jis ko
vo ek lamha hayāt-e-abad se behtar hai
hamārā jurm yahī hai ki haq-parast haiñ ham
hamāre ḳhuun kā pyāsā har ek ḳhanjar hai
vo mere sāmne aa.e to kis tarah aa.e
koī libās hai us kā na koī paikar hai
har ik balā se bachā.e hue hai jo ham ko
hamāre sar pe ye maañ kī duā kī chādar hai
bhaTak rahā huuñ maiñ sadiyoñ se dasht-e-ġhurbat meñ
koī to mujh ko batā.e kahāñ mirā ghar hai
abhī 'hafīz' gulāboñ kī baat mat kiije
lahūluhān abhī gulsitāñ kā manzar hai
lab-e-furaat wahi tishnagi ka manzar hai
wahi husain wahi qatilon ka lashkar hai
ye kis maqam pe lai hai zindagi hum ko
hansi labon pe hai sine mein gham ka daftar hai
yaqin kis pe karen kis ko dost Thahraen
har aastin mein poshida koi KHanjar hai
gila nahin mere honTon pe tang-dasti ka
KHuda ka shukr mera dil abhi tawangar hai
koi to hai jo dhaDakta hai zindagi ban kar
koi to hai jo hamare dilon ke andar hai
use qarib se dekha to ye hua malum
wo bu-e-gul nahin shamshir-e-baad-e-sarsar hai
samajh ke aag lagana hamare ghar mein tum
hamare ghar ke barabar tumhaara bhi ghar hai
meri jabin ko haqarat se dekhne wale
meri jabin se tera aastan munawwar hai
tumhaare qurb ki lazzat nasib hai jis ko
wo ek lamha hayat-e-abad se behtar hai
hamara jurm yahi hai ki haq-parast hain hum
hamare KHun ka pyasa har ek KHanjar hai
wo mere samne aae to kis tarah aae
koi libas hai us ka na koi paikar hai
har ek bala se bachae hue hai jo hum ko
hamare sar pe ye man ki dua ki chadar hai
bhaTak raha hun main sadiyon se dasht-e-ghurbat mein
koi to mujh ko batae kahan mera ghar hai
abhi 'hafiz' gulabon ki baat mat kije
lahuluhan abhi gulsitan ka manzar hai
