charagh-e-dil jalaya kis liye hai sham se pahle

charāġh-e-dil jalāyā kis liye hai shaam se pahle

ḳhushī achchhī nahīñ hai ishq meñ anjām se pahle

guzarnā to shab-e-furqat kā yā-rab ġhair-mumkin hai

taḌapnā dil kā kahtā hai numūd-e-shām se pahle

hudūd-e-mahfil-e-ishrat meñ rakkheñge qadam ik din

zarā mānūs to ho leñ ġham-e-ālām se pahle

mujhe saaqī se ulfat hai nahīñ sāġhar kā shaidā.ī

uThā jaatā huuñ ḳhud mahfil se daur-e-jām se pahle

Dhalā din aur mire dil kī baḌhīñ bechainiyāñ 'paikar'

jigar ko thaam letā huuñ maiñ dard-e-shām se pahle

charagh-e-dil jalaya kis liye hai sham se pahle

KHushi achchhi nahin hai ishq mein anjam se pahle

guzarna to shab-e-furqat ka ya-rab ghair-mumkin hai

taDapna dil ka kahta hai numud-e-sham se pahle

hudud-e-mahfil-e-ishrat mein rakkhenge qadam ek din

zara manus to ho len gham-e-alam se pahle

mujhe saqi se ulfat hai nahin saghar ka shaidai

uTha jata hun KHud mahfil se daur-e-jam se pahle

Dhala din aur mere dil ki baDhin bechainiyan 'paikar'

jigar ko tham leta hun main dard-e-sham se pahle
