aa gai nind sar-e-sham KHuda KHair kare

aa ga.ī niiñd sar-e-shām ḳhudā ḳhair kare

kis liye mil gayā ārām ḳhudā ḳhair kare

thā to āġhāz mohabbat kā bahut hī pur-kaif

aur ab talḳh hai anjām ḳhudā ḳhair kare

dāstān-e-rasan-o-dār na taaza ho jaa.e

un ke lab par hai mirā naam ḳhudā ḳhair kare

be-irāda lab-e-māyūs pe kyoñ aaya hai

shikva-e-gardish-e-ayyām ḳhudā ḳhair kare

ab na maiḳhāne meñ vo aglī sī raunaq baaqī

na vo miinā hai na vo jaam ḳhudā ḳhair kare

ḳhalish-e-dard hī marne ke liye kyā kam thī

us pe ye hasrat-o-ālām ḳhudā ḳhair kare

husn-e-dil toḌ ke mamdūh-e-jahāñ hai 'arshad'

haa.e ye ḳhū-e-dil-ārām ḳhudā ḳhair kare

aa gai nind sar-e-sham KHuda KHair kare

kis liye mil gaya aaram KHuda KHair kare

tha to aaghaz mohabbat ka bahut hi pur-kaif

aur ab talKH hai anjam KHuda KHair kare

dastan-e-rasan-o-dar na taza ho jae

un ke lab par hai mera nam KHuda KHair kare

be-irada lab-e-mayus pe kyon aaya hai

shikwa-e-gardish-e-ayyam KHuda KHair kare

ab na maiKHane mein wo agli si raunaq baqi

na wo mina hai na wo jam KHuda KHair kare

KHalish-e-dard hi marne ke liye kya kam thi

us pe ye hasrat-o-alam KHuda KHair kare

husn-e-dil toD ke mamduh-e-jahan hai 'arshad'

hae ye KHu-e-dil-aram KHuda KHair kare
