[Mahek]

Dh`ooNDte Dh`ooNDte Khud ko maiN kahaaN jaa niklaa
ek pardah jo uTh`aa, doosraa pardah niklaa!

manz^ar-e-zeest saraa-sar tah-o-baalaa niklaa
Ghaur se dekh`aa to har shaKhS tamaashaa niklaa!

ek hee raNg kaa Gham-Khaanah-e-dunyaa niklaa
Gham-e-jaanaaN bh`ee Gham-e-zeest kaa saayaa niklaa!

is rah-e-i'shq ko ham ajnabee samjh`e th`e magar
jo bh`ee patth`ar milaa barsoN kaa shanaasaa niklaa!

aarzoo, Hasrat-o-ummeed, shikaayat, aaNsoo
ik tiraa Zikr th`aa aur beech meN kyaa kyaa niklaa!

jo bh`ee guZraa tiree furqat meN woh achh`aa guZraa
jo bh`ee niklaa miree taqdeer meN achh`aa niklaa!

gh`ar se nikle th`e keh aa,eenah dikh`aaYeN sab ko
Haif! har a'ks meN apnaa hee saraapaa niklaa!

kyoN nah ham bh`ee kareN us naqsh-e-kaf-e-paa kee talaash?
sho'lah-e-t^oor bh`ee to ek bahaanaa niklaa!

jee meN th`aa baiTh` ke kuch` apnee kaheN ge "Sarwar"!
too bh`ee kam-baKht! zamaaneh kaa sataayaa niklaa!
