kabhī khole to kabhī zulf ko bikhrā.e hai

zindagī shaam hai aur shaam Dhalī jaa.e hai

kabhi khole to kabhi zulf ko bikhrae hai

zindagi sham hai aur sham Dhali jae hai

tum ne likkhā hai mire ḳhat mujhe vāpas kar do

Dar ga.iiñ husn-e-dil-āvez kī rusvā.ī se

tum ne likkha hai mere KHat mujhe wapas kar do

Dar gain husn-e-dil-awez ki ruswai se

āḳhir us kī sūkhī lakḌī ek chitā ke kaam aa.ī

hare-bhare qisse sunte the jis pīpal ke baare meñ

aaKHir us ki sukhi lakDi ek chita ke kaam aai

hare-bhare qisse sunte the jis pipal ke bare mein
