Ai Dil-e-be-KHabar

ai dil-e-be-KHabar

jo hawa ja chuki ab nahin aaegi

jo shajar TuT jata hai phalta nahin

wapsi mausamon ka muqaddar to hai

jo saman bit jae palaTta nahin

jaane wale nahin lauTte umr bhar

ab kise DhunDhta hai sar-e-rahguzar

ai dil-e-kam-nazar ai mere be-KHabar ai mere ham-safar

wo to KHushbu tha agle nagar ja chuka

chandni tha hua sarf-e-rang-e-qamar

KHwab tha aankh khulte hi ojhal hua

peD tha rut badalte hua be-samar

ai dil-e-be-asar ai mere chaara-gar

ye hai kis ko KHabar!

kab hawa-e-safar ka ishaara mile!

kab khulen sahilon par safinon ke par

kaun jaane kahan manzil-e-mauj hai!

kis jazire pe hai shah-zadi ka ghar ai mere chaara-gar

ai dil-e-be-KHabar kam-nazar mo'tabar

tu ki muddat se hai zer-e-bar-e-safar

be-qarar-e-safar

rail ki be-hunar pTriyon ki tarah

aas ke be-samar mausamon ki tarah

be-jahat manzilon ki masafat mein hai

rasta bhule hue rahrawon ki tarah

chob-e-nar-e-safar

e'tibar-e-nazar kis guman par karen

ai dil-e-be-basar

ye to sahil pe bhi dekhti hai bhanwar

ret mein kisht karti hai aab-e-baqa

kholti hai hawaon mein bab-e-asar

tujh ko rakhti hai ye zebdar-e-safar be-qarar-e-safar

ai dil-e-be-hunar

garm sanson ki wo KHushbuen bhul ja

wo chahakti hui dhaDkanen bhul ja

bhul ja narm honTon ki shadabiyan

harf-e-iqrar ki lazzaten bhul ja

bhul ja wo hawa bhul ja wo nagar

kaun jaane kahan raushni kho gai

luT gaya hai kahan karwan-e-sahar

ab kahan gesuon ke wo sae kahan

us ki aahaT se chamke hue baam-o-dar ai dil-e-be-basar

rang-e-asudgi ke tamashe kahan

jhuTpuTa hai yahan rahguzar rahguzar

wo to KHushbu tha agle nagar ja chuka

ab kise DhunDhta hai are be-KHabar

jaane wale nahin lauTte umr bhar

ai dil-e-kam-nazar ai mere chaara-gar ai mere ham-safar
