kyuuñ merī tarah rātoñ ko rahtā hai pareshāñ

ai chāñd batā kis se tirī aañkh laḌī hai

kyun meri tarah raaton ko rahta hai pareshan

ai chand bata kis se teri aankh laDi hai

manzileñ paañv pakaḌtī haiñ Thaharne ke liye

shauq kahtā hai ki do chaar qadam aur sahī

manzilen panw pakaDti hain Thaharne ke liye

shauq kahta hai ki do chaar qadam aur sahi

kal to is ālam-e-hastī se guzar jaanā hai

aaj kī raat tirī bazm meñ ham aur sahī

kal to is aalam-e-hasti se guzar jaana hai

aaj ki raat teri bazm mein hum aur sahi
