Tujh Se Kisne Yeh Kahaa Hai

Devanagari

तुझ से किसने ये कहा है
तुझ से किसने ये कहा है कि बहार आई नहीं,
गुल नहीं महके, नज़र माह-ओ-मेहर पाई नहीं।
तेरे आँचल का है लहराना बहार आ जाना,
कौन सी शै है जो छू कर तुझे हर्षाई नहीं।

Urdu · Nastaliq

تجھ سے کس نے یہ کہا ہے
تجھ سے کس نے یہ کہا ہے کہ بہار آئی نہیں
گل نہیں مہکے، نظر ماہ و مہر پائی نہیں
تیرے آنچل کا ہے لہرانا بہار آ جانا
کون سی شے ہے جو چھو کر تجھے ہرشائی نہیں

Roman transliteration

Tujh se kisne yeh kahaa hai ki bahaar aayee naheen,
Gul naheen mahke, nazar maah-o-meher paayee naheen
Tere aanchal kaa hai lahraanaa bahaar aa jaanaa,
Kaun see shai hai jo chhoo kar tujhe harshayee naheen

English translation

Who has told you that the spring has not yet arrived
That the flowers aren’t fragrant, that sight has not been blessed by the Sun and the Moon
The flutter of your hem is the harbinger of spring
There is nothing that has touched you and not blossomed into joy.
