Ai Dil-nashin Talash Teri Ku-ba-ku Na Thi

ai dil-nashin talash teri ku-ba-ku na thi

apne se ek farar tha wo justuju na thi

izhaar na-rasa sahi wo surat-e-jamal

aaina-e-KHayal mein bhi hu-ba-hu na thi

kya sehr tha ki hanste hue jaan de gae

wo bhi ki jin ko tab-e-gham-e-arzu na thi

kya jaane ahl-e-bazm ne kya kya samajh liya

iKHfa-e-arzu thi wo chup guftugu na thi

wo kaun si sahar thi ki roi na phul phul

wo sham kaun si thi ki gham se lahu na thi

hum to farefta the 'ziya' dil ki aanch par

manzur mahz dilkashi-e-rang-o-bu na thi
