abhī is raah se koī gayā hai

kahe detī hai shoḳhī naqsh-e-pā kī

abhi is rah se koi gaya hai

kahe deti hai shoKHi naqsh-e-pa ki

itnī na kiije jaane kī jaldī shab-e-visāl

dekhe haiñ maiñ ne kaam bigaḌte shitāb meñ

itni na kije jaane ki jaldi shab-e-visal

dekhe hain main ne kaam bigaDte shitab mein

shab-e-visāl meñ sunñā paḌā fasāna-e-ġhair

samajhte kaash vo apnā na rāzdār mujhe

shab-e-visal mein sunna paDa fasana-e-ghair

samajhte kash wo apna na raazdar mujhe

kartā huuñ terī zulf se dil kā mubādala

har-chand jāntā huuñ ye saudā burā nahīñ

karta hun teri zulf se dil ka mubaadala

har-chand jaanta hun ye sauda bura nahin

taskīn' karūñ kyā dil-e-muztar kā ilaaj ab

kam-baḳht ko mar kar bhī to ārām na aayā

taskin' karun kya dil-e-muztar ka ilaj ab

kam-baKHt ko mar kar bhi to aaram na aaya
