Log Jo Dil-Figar Hote Hain

Pandit Vidya Rattan Asi

log jo dil-figar hote hain

chalte phirte mazar hote hain

jo mohabbat men ḳhaar hote hain

sahab-e-sad-vaqar hote hain

jin ke daman men ḳhaar hote hain

qadr-dan-e-bahar hote hain

jo mohabbat-shi.ar hote hain

sazishon ka shikar hote hain

meri barbadi-e-mohabbat par

aap kyon sharmsar hote hain

un ke qaul-o-qarar kya kahiye

sirf qaul-o-qarar hote hain

apna matlab nikalne vaale

kis qadar hoshiyar hote hain

pur-ḳhuluson ki puchhte kya ho

ḳhaar hote the ḳhaar hote hain

kya ḳhabar thi ki rah-e-ulfat men

har qadam ḳharzar hote hain

kis tavaqqo pe log ai ‘asi’

zindagi par nisar hote hain
