bil-āḳhir thak haar ke yaaro ham ne bhī taslīm kiyā

apnī zaat se ishq hai sachchā baaqī sab afsāne haiñ

bil-aKHir thak haar ke yaro hum ne bhi taslim kiya

apni zat se ishq hai sachcha baqi sab afsane hain

bujh gayā dil to ḳharābī huī hai

phir kisī shola-jabīñ se miliye

bujh gaya dil to KHarabi hui hai

phir kisi shola-jabin se miliye

chāñd kā husn bhī zamīn se hai

chāñd par chāndnī nahīñ hotī

chand ka husn bhi zamin se hai

chand par chandni nahin hoti

Duub jaane kī lazzateñ mat pūchh

kaun aise meñ paar utrā hai

Dub jaane ki lazzaten mat puchh

kaun aise mein par utra hai

likhne ko likh rahe haiñ ġhazab kī kahāniyāñ

likkhī na jā sakī magar apnī hī dāstāñ

likhne ko likh rahe hain ghazab ki kahaniyan

likkhi na ja saki magar apni hi dastan
