Jaan ki baazi lagaane walo

Jaan to musta’ar hai

Naqsh e pa sahil per kya, jab

Manzil hi us paar hai

Takte hain falak ko sab

Kya jannat us paar hai

Kya basta hai khuda wahan

Woh jo sab ka yaar hai

Maana firasatmand ho shaikh

Per, rab to tum se hoshyaar hai

Mominon ka, kaafiron ka

Wohi ek parwardigaar hai

Kabhi to maano baat hamari

Har baat per kyon inkaar hai

Zubaan per aitbaar kya

Jab ashk hi ghamkhwaar hai

Aankh na jhapke phir batana

Ba safa kaun, kaun gunahgaar hai

Yaro, shaikyaan kis kaam ki

Ghalib to maut ki talwaar hai

‘Sahil’ tu hi samjha in uljhanon ko

Gar sarwat kuchh hai to pyaar hai

Meanings for non- urdu knowing friends

Musta’aar. Borrowed

Naqsh e pa. Foorprints

Firasatmand. Wise

Ghamkhwaar. Sympathizer

Ba safa. Innocent

Ghalib. Victorious

Sarwat. Possessions. Wealth
