dil ke arman nikal baiThe the

dil ke armāñ nikāl baiThe the

jiinā kar ke muhāl baiThe the

ye to achchhā huā tū chhoḌ gayā

ham tirā vahm paal baiThe the

ḳhvāb bikhre paḌe the āñgan meñ

chāñd taare nidhāl baiThe the

tum pe dil aanā thā vagarna to

jaane kitne jamāl baiThe the

saarī ummīd chhoḌ dī 'sāgar'

saare shikva bhī Taal baiThe the

dil ke arman nikal baiThe the

jina kar ke muhaal baiThe the

ye to achchha hua tu chhoD gaya

hum tera wahm pal baiThe the

KHwab bikhre paDe the aangan mein

chand tare nidhaal baiThe the

tum pe dil aana tha wagarna to

jaane kitne jamal baiThe the

sari ummid chhoD di 'sagar'

sare shikwa bhi Tal baiThe the
