chahta hun ki mera dard-e-jigar aur baDhe

chāhtā huuñ ki mirā dard-e-jigar aur baḌhe

tīrgī-e-shab-e-ġham tā-ba-sahar aur baḌhe

duur hai mujh se abhī dāman-e-sad-rañg un kā

kārvāñ ashkoñ kā ai dīda-e-tar aur baḌhe

yuuñ to tanhā hī chalā jā.ūñgā maiñ manzil tak

tum agar saath chalo azm-e-safar aur baḌhe

kitnī rañgīn hai jis raah pe uTThā hai qadam

chāhtā huuñ ki tirī rāhguzar aur baḌhe

abhī bhaḌkī hai ki aatī hai mahak sho.aloñ kī

ishq kī aag agar aur agar aur baḌhe

abhī is siine meñ zaḳhmoñ kī jagah baaqī hai

aap kī shoḳh-adā shoḳh-nazar aur baḌhe

chahta hun ki mera dard-e-jigar aur baDhe

tirgi-e-shab-e-gham ta-ba-sahar aur baDhe

dur hai mujh se abhi daman-e-sad-rang un ka

karwan ashkon ka ai dida-e-tar aur baDhe

yun to tanha hi chala jaunga main manzil tak

tum agar sath chalo azm-e-safar aur baDhe

kitni rangin hai jis rah pe uTTha hai qadam

chahta hun ki teri rahguzar aur baDhe

abhi bhaDki hai ki aati hai mahak shoalon ki

ishq ki aag agar aur agar aur baDhe

abhi is sine mein zaKHmon ki jagah baqi hai

aap ki shoKH-ada shoKH-nazar aur baDhe
