mohabbat soz bhī hai saaz bhī hai
ḳhamoshī bhī hai ye āvāz bhī hai
nasheman ke liye betāb taa.ir
vahāñ pābandī-e-parvāz bhī hai
ḳhamoshī par bharosā karne vaale
ḳhamoshī dard kī ġhammāz bhī hai
hai me.arāj-e-ḳhirad bhī arsh-e-a.azam
junūñ kā farsh pā-andāz bhī hai
dil-e-begāna ḳhud duniyā meñ terā
koī hamdam koī hamrāz bhī hai
kabhī muhtāj lai kā bhī nahīñ ye
kabhī naġhma rahīn-e-sāz bhī hai
kabhī to dil hai mahv-e-be-niyāzī
kabhī tauf-e-harīm-e-nāz bhī hai
tarāna-hā-e-sāz-e-zindagī meñ
ik āvāz-e-shikast-e-sāz bhī hai
