dekh hamare mathe par ye dasht-e-talab ki dhul miyan
dekh hamāre māthe par ye dasht-e-talab kī dhuul miyāñ
ham se ajab tirā dard kā naata dekh hameñ mat bhuul miyāñ
ahl-e-vafā se baat na karnā hogā tirā usuul miyāñ
ham kyuuñ chhoḌeñ un galiyoñ ke pheroñ kā ma.amūl miyāñ
yūñhī to nahīñ dasht meñ pahuñche yūñhī to nahīñ jog liyā
bastī bastī kāñTe dekhe jañgal jañgal phuul miyāñ
ye to kaho kabhī ishq kiyā hai jag meñ hue ho rusvā bhii?
is ke sivā ham kuchh bhī na pūchheñ baaqī baat fuzūl miyāñ
nasb kareñ mehrāb-e-tamannā diida o dil ko farsh kareñ
sunte haiñ vo kū-e-vafā meñ aaj kareñge nuzūl miyāñ
sun to liyā kisī naar kī ḳhātir kaaTā koh nikālī nahr
ek zarā se qisse ko ab dete kyuuñ ho tuul miyāñ
khelne deñ unheñ ishq kī baazī kheleñge to sīkheñge
'qais' kī yā 'farhād' kī ḳhātir kholeñ kyā schōl miyāñ
ab to hameñ manzūr hai ye bhī shahr se niklīñ rusvā huuñ
tujh ko dekhā bāteñ kar liiñ mehnat huī vasūl miyāñ
'inshā' jī kyā uzr hai tum ko naqd-e-dil-o-jāñ nazr karo
rūp-nagar ke naake par ye lagtā hai mahsūl miyāñ
dekh hamare mathe par ye dasht-e-talab ki dhul miyan
hum se ajab tera dard ka nata dekh hamein mat bhul miyan
ahl-e-wafa se baat na karna hoga tera usul miyan
hum kyun chhoDen un galiyon ke pheron ka mamul miyan
yunhi to nahin dasht mein pahunche yunhi to nahin jog liya
basti basti kanTe dekhe jangal jangal phul miyan
ye to kaho kabhi ishq kiya hai jag mein hue ho ruswa bhi?
is ke siwa hum kuchh bhi na puchhen baqi baat fuzul miyan
nasb karen mehrab-e-tamanna dida o dil ko farsh karen
sunte hain wo ku-e-wafa mein aaj karenge nuzul miyan
sun to liya kisi nar ki KHatir kaTa koh nikali nahr
ek zara se qisse ko ab dete kyun ho tul miyan
khelne den unhen ishq ki bazi khelenge to sikhenge
'qais' ki ya 'farhad' ki KHatir kholen kya school miyan
ab to hamein manzur hai ye bhi shahr se niklin ruswa hun
tujh ko dekha baaten kar lin mehnat hui wasul miyan
'insha' ji kya uzr hai tum ko naqd-e-dil-o-jaan nazr karo
rup-nagar ke nake par ye lagta hai mahsul miyan
