sanam hai ya khuda kya jaane kya hai
hamara dilruba kya jaane kya hai

na sumbul hai na kala hai na nagin
tari zulf-e-rasa kya jaane kya hai

kasi pahlu nahin aaram tujh ko
tujhe ai dil hua kya jaane kya hai

nahin malum kaba hai ki qibla
kham-e-abru tera kya jaane kya hai

mera dil loge tum ya jaan loge
tumhaara indiya kya jaane kya hai

jafaon se teri bharna nahin dil
tadapne mein maza kya jaane kya hai

hamein to us se hai ummid-e-bakhshish
magar us ki raza kya jaane kya hai

nazar pheri nahin tu ne to hum se
ye phir ishwa-numa kya jaane kya hai

tasawwur mein jo ki hain band aankhen
dikhai de raha kya jaane kya hai

bhala tu aashna hoga kasi ka
are na-ashna kya jaane kya hai

qayamat hai qad-e-baala tumhaara
nigah-e-fitna-ra kya jaane kya hai

nikalta hai dhuan jo aah ke sath
ye ai dil jal raha kya jaane kya hai

bhala main kya use batlaun 'anjum'
wo mujh se puchhta kya jaane kya hai
