Ahsaase Ulfat

Devanagari

एहसासे उल्फ़त
यकरवानी इन दिलों की मोजज़ा लगता है क्यों,
यह तो फ़ितरत है तेरी फिर जीने से डरता है क्यों।
राज़-ए-उल्फत यह है मैं तू हूँ, तेरा दम मुझमें है,
अपनी सांसें मेरी साँसों में नहीं सुनता है क्यों।।

Urdu · Nastaliq

احساسِ الفت
یک روانی اِن دلوں کی معجزہ لگتا ہے کیوں
یہ تو فطرت ہے تیری پھر جینے سے ڈرتا ہے کیوں
رازِ الفت یہ ہے میں تو ہوں، تیرا دم مجھ میں ہے
اپنی سانسیں میری سانسوں میں نہیں سنتا ہے کیوں

Roman transliteration

Yak-ravaanee in dilon kee mojaza lagtaa hai kyon?
yeh to fitrat hai teree phir jeene se dartaa hai kyon?
raaz-e-ulfat yeh hai main too hoon, teraa dam mujh mein hai,
apnee saansein meree saanson mein naheen sunta hai kyon?

English translation

Why does the flowing-together of our hearts seem like a miracle to you?
It is your nature for it to be so, so why are you afraid to live life fully?
The mystery of love is that I am you and you live inside me,
Why, then, do you fail to hear the oneness of our breath?
