shā.irī jhuuT sahī ishq fasāna hī sahī

zinda rahne ke liye koī bahāna hī sahī

shairi jhuT sahi ishq fasana hi sahi

zinda rahne ke liye koi bahana hi sahi

kyā kareñ aañkh agar us se sivā chāhtī hai

ye jahān-e-guzarāñ ā.ina-ḳhāna hī sahī

kya karen aankh agar us se siwa chahti hai

ye jahan-e-guzaran aaina-KHana hi sahi

safar kī shaam sitāra nasīb kā jaagā

phir āsmān-e-mohabbat pe ik hilāl khilā

safar ki sham sitara nasib ka jaga

phir aasman-e-mohabbat pe ek hilal khila

āb-e-hairāñ par kisī kā aks jaise jam gayā

aañkh meñ bas ek lamhe ke liye Thahrā ḳhayāl

aab-e-hairan par kisi ka aks jaise jam gaya

aankh mein bas ek lamhe ke liye Thahra KHayal
