jis ka inkar bhi inkar na samjha jae

jis kā inkār bhī inkār na samjhā jaa.e

ham se vo yār-e-tarah-dār na samjhā jaa.e

itnī kāvish bhī na kar merī asīrī ke liye

tū kahīñ merā giraftār na samjhā jaa.e

ab jo Thahrī hai mulāqāt to is shart ke saath

shauq ko dar-ḳhur-e-iz.hār na samjhā jaa.e

naala bulbul kā jo suntā hai to khil uThtā hai gul

ishq ko muft kī begār na samjhā jaa.e

ishq ko shaad kare ġham kā muqaddar badle

husn ko itnā bhī muḳhtār na samjhā jaa.e

baḌh chalā aaj bahut had se junūn-e-gustāḳh

ab kahīñ us se sar-e-dār na samjhā jaa.e

dil ke lene se 'salīm' us ko nahīñ hai inkār

lekin is tarah ki iqrār na samjhā jaa.e

jis ka inkar bhi inkar na samjha jae

hum se wo yar-e-tarah-dar na samjha jae

itni kawish bhi na kar meri asiri ke liye

tu kahin mera giraftar na samjha jae

ab jo Thahri hai mulaqat to is shart ke sath

shauq ko dar-KHur-e-izhaar na samjha jae

nala bulbul ka jo sunta hai to khil uThta hai gul

ishq ko muft ki begar na samjha jae

ishq ko shad kare gham ka muqaddar badle

husn ko itna bhi muKHtar na samjha jae

baDh chala aaj bahut had se junun-e-gustaKH

ab kahin us se sar-e-dar na samjha jae

dil ke lene se 'salim' us ko nahin hai inkar

lekin is tarah ki iqrar na samjha jae
