vahī phir mujhe yaad aane lage haiñ

jinheñ bhūlne meñ zamāne lage haiñ

wahi phir mujhe yaad aane lage hain

jinhen bhulne mein zamane lage hain

bhūle haiñ rafta rafta unheñ muddatoñ meñ ham

qistoñ meñ ḳhud-kushī mazā ham se pūchhiye

bhule hain rafta rafta unhen muddaton mein hum

qiston mein KHud-kushi ka maza hum se puchhiye

dushmanoñ se pyaar hotā jā.egā

dostoñ ko āzmāte jā.iye

dushmanon se pyar hota jaega

doston ko aazmate jaiye

ye kahnā thā un se mohabbat hai mujh ko

ye kahne meñ mujh ko zamāne lage haiñ

ye kahna tha un se mohabbat hai mujh ko

ye kahne mein mujh ko zamane lage hain

ḳhudā bachā.e tirī mast mast āñkhoñ se

farishta ho to bahak jaa.e aadmī kyā hai

KHuda bachae teri mast mast aankhon se

farishta ho to bahak jae aadmi kya hai

mohabbat ko samajhnā hai to nāseh ḳhud mohabbat kar

kināre se kabhī andāza-e-tūfāñ nahīñ hotā

if love you need to fathom, friend, in love you need to be

the storm cannot be felt by merely sitting by the sea

mohabbat ko samajhna hai to naseh KHud mohabbat kar

kinare se kabhi andaza-e-tufan nahin hota

if love you need to fathom, friend, in love you need to be

the storm cannot be felt by merely sitting by the sea

sunā hai hameñ vo bhulāne lage haiñ

to kyā ham unheñ yaad aane lage haiñ

suna hai hamein wo bhulane lage hain

to kya hum unhen yaad aane lage hain

ab in hudūd meñ laayā hai intizār mujhe

vo aa bhī jaa.eñ to aa.e na e'tibār mujhe

ab in hudud mein laya hai intizar mujhe

wo aa bhi jaen to aae na e'tibar mujhe

aisā nahīñ ki un se mohabbat nahīñ rahī

jazbāt meñ vo pahlī shiddat nahīñ rahī

aisa nahin ki un se mohabbat nahin rahi

jazbaat mein wo pahli si shiddat nahin rahi

dūsroñ par agar tabsira kījiye

sāmne aa.ina rakh liyā kījiye

had se baḌhe jo ilm to hai jahl dosto

hairat hai tum ko dekh ke masjid meñ ai 'ḳhumār'

kyā baat ho ga.ī jo ḳhudā yaad aa gayā

to see you in the mosque KHumaar, is rather strange and odd

what calamity occurred that now you think of God?
