aaj tak dil ki aarzu hai wahi

aaj tak dil kī aarzū hai vahī

phuul murjhā gayā hai bū hai vahī

sau bahāreñ jahāñ meñ aa.ī ga.iiñ

māya-e-sad-bahār tū hai vahī

jo ho puurī vo aarzū hī nahīñ

jo na puurī ho aarzū hai vahī

maan letā huuñ tere va.ade ko

bhuul jaatā huuñ maiñ ki tū hai vahī

tujh se sau baar mil chuke lekin

tujh se milne kī aarzū hai vahī

sabr aa jaa.e is kī kyā ummīd

maiñ vahī, dil vahī hai, tū hai vahī

ho ga.ī hai bahār meñ kuchh aur

varna sāġhar vahī subū hai vahī

umr guzrī talāsh meñ lekin

garmī-hā-e-justujū hai vahī

mai-kade kā 'jalīl' rañg na pūchh

raqs-e-jām o ḳhum o subū hai vahī

aaj tak dil ki aarzu hai wahi

phul murjha gaya hai bu hai wahi

sau bahaaren jahan mein aai gain

maya-e-sad-bahaar tu hai wahi

jo ho puri wo aarzu hi nahin

jo na puri ho aarzu hai wahi

man leta hun tere wade ko

bhul jata hun main ki tu hai wahi

tujh se sau bar mil chuke lekin

tujh se milne ki aarzu hai wahi

sabr aa jae is ki kya ummid

main wahi, dil wahi hai, tu hai wahi

ho gai hai bahaar mein kuchh aur

warna saghar wahi subu hai wahi

umr guzri talash mein lekin

garmi-ha-e-justuju hai wahi

mai-kade ka 'jalil' rang na puchh

raqs-e-jam o KHum o subu hai wahi
