kuchh Khaar hi nahin mere daman ke yar hain
kuchh ḳhaar hī nahīñ mire dāman ke yaar haiñ
gardan meñ tauq bhī to laḌakpan ke yaar haiñ
siina ho kushtagān-e-mohabbat kā yā galā
donoñ ye tere ḳhanjar-e-āhan ke yaar haiñ
ḳhātir hamārī kartā hai dair-o-haram meñ kaun
ham to na shaiḳh ke na barahman ke yaar haiñ
kyā pūchhtā hai mujh se nishāñ sail-o-barq kā
donoñ qadīm se mire ḳhirman ke yaar haiñ
kyā garm haiñ ki kahte haiñ ḳhūbān-e-lucknow
london ko jaa.eñ vo jo firañgan ke yaar haiñ
vo dushmanī kareñ to kareñ iḳhtiyār hai
ham to adū ke dost haiñ dushman ke yaar haiñ
kuchh is chaman meñ sabza-e-begāna ham nahīñ
nargis ke dost lāla-o-sausan ke yaar haiñ
kāñTe haiñ jitne vādī-e-ġhurbat ke ai junūñ
sab āstīñ ke jeb ke dāman ke yaar haiñ
gum-gashtagī meñ raah batātā hai ham ko kaun
hai ḳhizr jin kā naam vo rahzan ke yaar haiñ
chalte haiñ shauq-e-barq-e-tajallī meñ kyā hai ḳhauf
chīte tamām vādī-e-aiman ke yaar haiñ
piirī mujhe chhuḌātī hai ahbāb se 'amīr'
dandāñ nahīñ ye mere laḌakpan ke yaar haiñ
kuchh KHar hi nahin mere daman ke yar hain
gardan mein tauq bhi to laDakpan ke yar hain
sina ho kushtagan-e-mohabbat ka ya gala
donon ye tere KHanjar-e-ahan ke yar hain
KHatir hamari karta hai dair-o-haram mein kaun
hum to na shaiKH ke na barahman ke yar hain
kya puchhta hai mujh se nishan sail-o-barq ka
donon qadim se mere KHirman ke yar hain
kya garm hain ki kahte hain KHuban-e-lucknow
london ko jaen wo jo firangan ke yar hain
wo dushmani karen to karen iKHtiyar hai
hum to adu ke dost hain dushman ke yar hain
kuchh is chaman mein sabza-e-begana hum nahin
nargis ke dost lala-o-sausan ke yar hain
kanTe hain jitne wadi-e-ghurbat ke ai junun
sab aastin ke jeb ke daman ke yar hain
gum-gashtagi mein rah batata hai hum ko kaun
hai KHizr jin ka nam wo rahzan ke yar hain
chalte hain shauq-e-barq-e-tajalli mein kya hai KHauf
chite tamam wadi-e-aiman ke yar hain
piri mujhe chhuDati hai ahbab se 'amir'
dandan nahin ye mere laDakpan ke yar hain
