āsūdgī-āmoz ho jab ābla-pā.ī

ho jaatī hai manzil kī lagan dil meñ tapāñ aur

aasudgi-amoz ho jab aabla-pai

ho jati hai manzil ki lagan dil mein tapan aur

dekhte dekhte terā chehra aur ik chehra ban jaatā hai

ik mānūs malūl sā chehra kab dekhā thā bhuul gayā huuñ

dekhte dekhte tera chehra aur ek chehra ban jata hai

ek manus malul sa chehra kab dekha tha bhul gaya hun

kyā ḳhabar merā safar hai aur kitnī duur kā

kāġhzī ik naav huuñ aur tez-rau paanī meñ huuñ

kya KHabar mera safar hai aur kitni dur ka

kaghzi ek naw hun aur tez-rau pani mein hun

na yaad kī chubhan koī na koī lau malāl kī

maiñ jaane kitnī duur yūñhī ḳhud se be-ḳhabar gayā

na yaad ki chubhan koi na koi lau malal ki

main jaane kitni dur yunhi KHud se be-KHabar gaya
