kisi bekas ko ai bedad gar mara to kya mara

kisī bekas ko ai bedād gar maarā to kyā maarā

jo aaphī mar rahā ho us ko gar maarā to kyā maarā

na maarā aap ko jo ḳhaak ho iksīr ban jaatā

agar paare ko ai iksīr gar maarā to kyā maarā

baḌe muuzī ko maarā nafs-e-ammāra ko gar maarā

nahang o azhdahā o sher-e-nar maarā to kyā maarā

ḳhatā to dil kī thī qābil bahut sī maar khāne ke

tirī zulfoñ ne mushkīñ bāñdh kar maarā to kyā maarā

nahīñ vo qaul kā sachchā hamesha qaul de de kar

jo us ne haath mere haath par maarā to kyā maarā

tufañg o tiir to zāhir na thā kuchh paas qātil ke

ilāhī us ne dil ko taak kar maarā to kyā maarā

hañsī ke saath yaañ ronā hai misl-e-qulqul-e-mīnā

kisī ne qahqaha ai be-ḳhabar maarā to kyā maarā

mire aañsū hamesha haiñ ba-rañg-e-lāl-e-ġharq-e-ḳhūñ

jo ġhota aab meñ tū ne guhar maarā to kyā maarā

jigar dil donoñ pahlū meñ haiñ zaḳhmī us ne kyā jaane

idhar maarā to kyā maarā udhar maarā to kyā maarā

gayā shaitān maarā ek sajde ke na karne meñ

agar lākhoñ baras sajde meñ sar maarā to kyā maarā

dil-e-sangīn-e-ḳhusrau par bhī zarb ai kohkan pahuñchī

agar tesha sar-e-kohsār par maarā to kyā maarā

dil-e-bad-ḳhvāh meñ thā mārnā yā chashm-e-bad-bīñ meñ

falak par 'zauq' tīr-e-āh gar maarā to kyā maarā

kisi bekas ko ai bedad gar mara to kya mara

jo aaphi mar raha ho us ko gar mara to kya mara

na mara aap ko jo KHak ho iksir ban jata

agar pare ko ai iksir gar mara to kya mara

baDe muzi ko mara nafs-e-ammara ko gar mara

nahang o azhdaha o sher-e-nar mara to kya mara

KHata to dil ki thi qabil bahut si mar khane ke

teri zulfon ne mushkin bandh kar mara to kya mara

nahin wo qaul ka sachcha hamesha qaul de de kar

jo us ne hath mere hath par mara to kya mara

tufang o tir to zahir na tha kuchh pas qatil ke

ilahi us ne dil ko tak kar mara to kya mara

hansi ke sath yan rona hai misl-e-qulqul-e-mina

kisi ne qahqaha ai be-KHabar mara to kya mara

mere aansu hamesha hain ba-rang-e-lal-e-gharq-e-KHun

jo ghota aab mein tu ne guhar mara to kya mara

jigar dil donon pahlu mein hain zaKHmi us ne kya jaane

idhar mara to kya mara udhar mara to kya mara

gaya shaitan mara ek sajde ke na karne mein

agar lakhon baras sajde mein sar mara to kya mara

dil-e-sangin-e-KHusrau par bhi zarb ai kohkan pahunchi

agar tesha sar-e-kohsar par mara to kya mara

dil-e-bad-KHwah mein tha marna ya chashm-e-bad-bin mein

falak par 'zauq' tir-e-ah gar mara to kya mara
