suKHan Ki Dilkashi Soz-E-Dili Lagti Nahin Mujhko

suḳhan ki dilkashi soz-e-dili lagti nahin mujh ko

ye laffazi to ji ki bekali lagti nahin mujh ko

ye sach hai quvvat-e-tasḳhir hoti hai mohabbat men

zafar-yabi magar harf-e-jali lagti nahin mujh ko

kisi shai ki kami lagti hai in afsurda rahon men

usi ka shahr lekin vo gali lagti nahin mujh ko

ḳhizan-baḳhti men kab shaḳh-e-chaman par phuul khilte hain

hansi ahbab ki zinda-dili lagti nahin mujh ko

ba-zahir bagh-o-bazar-o-makan sab lahlahate hain

ye hariyali magar phuli-phali lagti nahin mujh ko

kisi ab-e-ravan par ḳhubsurat naav kaghaz ki

vahi duniya hai lekin kyuun bhali lagti nahin mujh ko

mulamma.a-kariyan ashiya men bhi insan men bhi hain

zamin fitrat ke sanche men Dhali lagti nahin mujh ko

qalandar ḳhanqah-o-madrasa men mast hai lekin

ye masti faqr-e-bu-bakar-o-ali lagti nahin mujh ko
