bahr-e-be-kanar tu

bahr-e-be-kanār tū

maiñ zarā sī āb-jū

aks hai ḳhajil ḳhajil

aa.ine ke rū-ba-rū

dostoñ ne dekh lī

kar ke merī justujū

ab ka.ī dinoñ se huuñ

maiñ hī apne dū-badū

phuul chun rahā thā maiñ

tum the mahv-e-guftugū

tere dar ko chhoḌ ke

phir rahe haiñ kū-ba-kū

tazkira ho chāñd kā

yā tumhārī guftugū

aa.ine se baat kar

aa kabhī tū rū-ba-rū

dekh ḳhāk-zādoñ kī

lā-makāñ kī aarzū

chale chalo yahī to hai

ābloñ kī aabrū

tere dar pe phuul bhī

māñgte haiñ rañg-o-bū

bahr-e-be-kanar tu

main zara si aab-ju

aks hai KHajil KHajil

aaine ke ru-ba-ru

doston ne dekh li

kar ke meri justuju

ab kai dinon se hun

main hi apne du-badu

phul chun raha tha main

tum the mahw-e-guftugu

tere dar ko chhoD ke

phir rahe hain ku-ba-ku

tazkira ho chand ka

ya tumhaari guftugu

aaine se baat kar

aa kabhi tu ru-ba-ru

dekh KHak-zadon ki

la-makan ki aarzu

chale chalo yahi to hai

aablon ki aabru

tere dar pe phul bhi

mangte hain rang-o-bu
