chheD Ke Saz-E-Zargari KHalq-E-KHuda Hai Raqs Mein

Razi Akhtar Shauq

chheḌ ke saz-e-zargari ḳhalq-e-ḳhuda hai raqs men

yuun ki tamam shahr hi Duub chala hai raqs men

ye jo nasha hai raqs ka ik miri zaat tak nahin

kuza-ba-kuza gil-ba-gil saath ḳhuda hai raqs men

koi kisi se kya kahe koi kisi ki kyuun sune!

sab ki nazar hai taal par sab ki ana hai raqs men

husn ki apni ik numu ishq ki apni hao-hu

ek hava hai rang men ek hava hai raqs men

kaun ye kah ke chal diya ho tiri bastiyon ki ḳhair

aaj hava bhi tez hai aur diya hai raqs men

koi savad-e-vaqt par koi surud-e-zat tak

paanv hai sab ka ek sa phir bhi juda hai raqs men

burj-e-shahi se dekhna aise fishar-e-vaqt men

ḳhak-ba-sar ghazal-ba-lab kaun gada hai raqs men
