Lyrics / Poetry [both Roman and Traditional Urdu]

Patta patta, boota boota, haal hamara jaane hae,
Jaane na jaaney gul hi na jaane, baagh to saara jaane hae .

Lagney na de bus ho to iss ke gohar gosh ko baaley tak
Iss ko Falak Chashm Mae o Khor ki Putlee ka taara jaane hae

Aage us mutakabbar ke ham Khuda Khuda kiya karte hain,
Kab maujood Khuda ko woh maghroor khud-aara jaane hae .

Aashiq saa to saada koi aur na hoga dunyaa mein,
Ji ke ziaan ko ishq mein uske apna waara jaane hae .

Chaaraa gari beemari-e-dil ki rasm-e-shehr-e-husn nahin,
Warna dilbar-e-naadaan bhi is dard kaa chaara jaaney hae .

Kya Hi Sjikar Farebi Par Maghroor Hai Woh Siyaad Bacha
Taair urtay hawa mai saare apne usaari jaane hae

Mehr-o-wafaa-o-lutf-o-inayat, aik se waqif in mein nahin,
Aur to sab kuchh tanz-o-kanaya, ramz-o-ishara jaane hae .

Kia Kia fitnay sarr per is ke laata hai mashooq apna
jiss be-dil hai taab o tawaan ko ishq ka maara jaane hai

Aashiq to murdah hai hamesha ji uthta hai dekhe use,
Yaar ke aa jaane ko yakaayak umr do baara jaane hae .

rakhno se dewar e chaman ke munn ko le hai chuppa yaani
inn sorakhon ke takk rehne ko so ka nazaara jaane re

Tashna-e-khun hai apna kitna, Mir bhi naadaan, talkhi-kash,
Damdaar aab-e-tegh ko uske aab-e-gawara jaane hae .
