Aaj Kya Haal Hai Ya Rab Sar-e-mahfil Mera

Aaj kya haal hai ya rab sar-e-mahfil mera,
Ke nikaale liye jaata hai koi dil mera,

Soz-e-ghum dekh na barbaad ho haasil mera,
Dil ki tasveer hai har aaina-e-dil mera,

Subah tak hijr mein kya jaaniye kya hota hai,
Shaam hi se mere qaabu mein nahin dil mera,

Mil gayi ishq mein iza-talabi se raahat,
Ghum hai ab jaan meri dard hai ab dil mera,

Paaya jaata hai teri shokhi-e-raftaar ka rang,
Kaash pahlu mein dhadakta hi rahe dil mera,

Haye us mard ki qismat jo hua dil ka shareek,
Haye us dil ka muqaddar jo bana dil mera,

Kuchh khatakta to hai pahlu mein mere rah rah kar,
Ab khuda jaane teri yaad hai ya dil mera.!!
