go sarāpā-e-jabr haiñ phir bhī

sāhab-e-iḳhtiyār haiñ ham log

go sarapa-e-jabr hain phir bhi

sahab-e-iKHtiyar hain hum log

kabhī kabhī to ik aisā maqām aayā hai

maiñ husn ban ke ḳhud apnī nazar se guzrā huuñ

kabhi kabhi to ek aisa maqam aaya hai

main husn ban ke KHud apni nazar se guzra hun

mahsūs kar rahā huuñ ḳhud apne jamāl ko

jitnā tire qarīb chalā jā rahā huuñ maiñ

mahsus kar raha hun KHud apne jamal ko

jitna tere qarib chala ja raha hun main

bhuul ke kabhī na faash kar rāz-o-niyāz-e-āshiqī

vo bhī agar hoñ sāmne aañkh uThā ke bhī na dekh

bhul ke kabhi na fash kar raaz-o-niyaz-e-ashiqi

wo bhi agar hon samne aankh uTha ke bhi na dekh
