na ab wo ishq na wo ishq ki adaen rahin
na ab wo husn na wo husn ki hawaen rahin

na ishq ishq raha ab na husn husn raha
na wo wafaen rahin ab na wo jafaen rahin

wo husn-o-ishq ke raaz-o-niyaz hi na rahe
na wo khataen rahin ab na wo sazaen rahin

mizaj-e-husn-o-mohabbat mein sadgi na fareb
na wo yaqin raha ab na wo daghaen rahin

ghurur-e-husn ki be-iltifatiyon ki tarah
nigah-e-shauq rahi ab na iltijaen rahin

na wo ayaadat-o-taskin na wo dil-e-ranjur
na ab wo dard-e-mohabbat na wo dawaen rahin

na zindagi se wo nafrat na maut ki hasrat
wo bad-duaen rahin ab na wo duaen rahin

rabab-e-isq na mizrab-e-husn kuchh bhi nahin
wo naghma-ha-e-tamanna na wo sadaen rahin

na mai-kada na wo mai-khwar aur na wo saqi
na wo chaman na bahaaren na wo ghataen rahin

badal gae sahar-o-sham-e-zindagi 'bismil'
wo zindagi ke manazir na wo fazaen rahin
