phir kuchh is dil ko beqaraarii hai phir kuchh is dil ko beqaraarii hai

phir kuchh is dil ko beqaraarii hai

siinaa zoyaa-e-zakhm-e-kaarii hai

phir jigar khodane lagaa naakhun

aamad-e-fasl-e-laalaakaarii hai

qiblaa-e-maqsad-e-nigaah-e-niyaaz

phir vahii pardaa-e-ammaarii hai

chashm-e-dallal-e-jins-e-rusavaaii

dil khariidaar-e-zauq-e-khvaarii hai

vahii sadrang naalaa farsaaii

vahii sadguunaa ashqbaarii hai

dil havaa-e-khiraam-e-naaz se phir

mahashristaan-e-beqaraarii hai

jalvaa phir arz-e-naaz karataa hai

roz-e-baazaar-e-jaansupaarii hai

phir usii bevafaa pe marate hain

phir vahii zindagii hamaarii hai

phir khulaa hai dar-e-adaalat-e-naaz

garm baazaar-e-faujdaarii hai

ho rahaa hai jahaan men andher

zulf kii phir sarishtaadaarii hai

phir diyaa paaraa-e-jigar ne savaal

ek fariyaad-o-aah-o-zaarii hai

phir hue hain gavaah-e-ishq talab

ashqbaarii kaa hukmzaarii hai

dil-o-mizshgaan kaa jo muqadamaa thaa

aaj phir us kii ruubqaarii hai

bekhudii besabab nahiin 'ghalib'

kuchh to hai jis kii pardaadaarii hai
