baat karne kā hasīñ taur-tarīqa sīkhā

ham ne urdu ke bahāne se salīqa sīkhā

baat karne ka hasin taur-tariqa sikha

hum ne urdu ke bahane se saliqa sikha

mirī āvārgī hī mere hone kī alāmat hai

mujhe phir is safar ke ba.ad bhī koī safar denā

meri aawargi hi mere hone ki alamat hai

mujhe phir is safar ke baad bhi koi safar dena

kisī ke ishq meñ barbād honā

hameñ aayā nahīñ farhād honā

kisi ke ishq mein barbaad hona

hamein aaya nahin farhad hona

maiñ thā jab kārvāñ ke saath to gulzār thī duniyā

magar tanhā huā to har taraf sahrā hī sahrā thā

main tha jab karwan ke sath to gulzar thi duniya

magar tanha hua to har taraf sahra hi sahra tha

tujhe jab dekhtā huuñ to ḳhud apnī yaad aatī hai

mirā andāz hañsne kā kabhī tere hī jaisā thā

tujhe jab dekhta hun to KHud apni yaad aati hai

mera andaz hansne ka kabhi tere hi jaisa tha
