dil kite apNā lagā ke vekh lai .

tuuñ vī kismat aazmā ke vekh lai .

hai ajab is dā nasha is dā sarūr

vekh lai tuuñ pi.aar pā ke vekh lai .

kar la.ī nafrat baḌā chir kar la.ī

aa zarā huN pi.aar pā ke vekh lai .

bujh nahīñ sakdī ih ātish ishaq dī

umar bhar hanjhū vahā ke vekh lai .

shā.id ih suN ke kare uh pi.aar phir

dāstāñ ġham dī suNā ke vekh lai .

baiTh jā kanDhe jhanāñ de sidak naal

tuuñ kise nuuñ aazmā ke vekh lai .

jaaN hī vaalā e huN bismil terā

āḳhirī ḳhāhish hai aa ke vekh lai .

mar gi.ā hove nā tere hijar vich

aapNe “ārif” nuuñ jā ke vekh lai .

dil kite apNa laga ke wekh lai

tun wi kismat aazma ke wekh lai

hai ajab is da nasha is da sarur

wekh lai tun piar pa ke wekh lai

aa zara huN piar pa ke wekh lai

bujh nahin sakdi ih aatish ishaq di

umar bhar hanjhu waha ke wekh lai

shaid ih suN ke kare uh piar phir

dastan gham di suNa ke wekh lai

baiTh ja kanDhe jhanan de sidak nal

tun kise nun aazma ke wekh lai

jaN hi wala e huN bismil tera

aaKHiri KHahish hai aa ke wekh lai

mar gia howe na tere hijar wich

aapNe “arif” nun ja ke wekh lai
