dasht-nawardi mein koi sat tha

dasht-navardī meñ koī saat thā

maiñ bhī ajab manzar-e-bāġhāt thā

zarra thā yā ḳhaar thā jo kuchh bhī thā

mere liye shāreh-e-āyāt thā

Duub ga.e is meñ ka.ī puure chāñd

dar tirā chāh-e-tilismāt thā

mujh ko ye dhun saa.e meñ baiTheñ kahīñ

tujh ko magar shauq-e-muhimmāt thā

paañv tale uḌtā huā taḳht-e-zar

sar pe mire sāya-e-jinnāt thā

dasht-nawardi mein koi sat tha

main bhi ajab manzar-e-baghat tha

zarra tha ya KHar tha jo kuchh bhi tha

mere liye shaareh-e-ayat tha

Dub gae is mein kai pure chand

dar tera chah-e-tilismat tha

mujh ko ye dhun sae mein baiThen kahin

tujh ko magar shauq-e-muhimmat tha

panw tale uDta hua taKHt-e-zar

sar pe mere saya-e-jinnat tha
