baat jab hai ġham ke māroñ ko jilā de ai 'shakīl'

tū ye zinda mayyateñ miTTī meñ daab aayā to kyā

baat jab hai gham ke maron ko jila de ai 'shakil'

tu ye zinda mayyaten miTTi mein dab aaya to kya

merā azm itnā buland hai ki parā.e sholoñ kā Dar nahīñ

mujhe ḳhauf ātish-e-gul se hai ye kahīñ chaman ko jalā na de

mera azm itna buland hai ki parae sholon ka Dar nahin

mujhe KHauf aatish-e-gul se hai ye kahin chaman ko jala na de

mujhe to qaid-e-mohabbat aziiz thī lekin

kisī ne mujh ko giraftār kar ke chhoḌ diyā

mujhe to qaid-e-mohabbat aziz thi lekin

kisi ne mujh ko giraftar kar ke chhoD diya

rahmatoñ se nibāh meñ guzrī

umr saarī gunāh meñ guzrī

rahmaton se nibah mein guzri

umr sari gunah mein guzri

ye adā-e-be-niyāzī tujhe bevafā mubārak

magar aisī be-ruḳhī kyā ki salām tak na pahuñche

ye ada-e-be-niyazi tujhe bewafa mubarak

magar aisi be-ruKHi kya ki salam tak na pahunche
