din bahut raat bahut subh bahut sham bahut

din bahut raat bahut sub.h bahut shaam bahut

aa.e har-vaqt mire hisse meñ ilzām bahut

apne kirdār se māyūs nahīñ hotā maiñ

kaam aa jaatā huuñ rahte hue nākām bahut

zahr-o-rusvā.ī kabhī hai to kabhī dār-o-salīb

paa.e ushshāq ne sach kahne ke in.aam bahut

is liye ho gayā mash.hūr zamāne bhar meñ

mere rishtoñ ne mujhe kar diyā badnām bahut

zulmat-e-ġham hī mire ghar kā muqaddar Thahrī

zaḳhm kī sham.a se raushan haiñ dar-o-bām bahut

din bahut raat bahut subh bahut sham bahut

aae har-waqt mere hisse mein ilzam bahut

apne kirdar se mayus nahin hota main

kaam aa jata hun rahte hue nakaam bahut

zahr-o-ruswai kabhi hai to kabhi dar-o-salib

pae ushshaq ne sach kahne ke inam bahut

is liye ho gaya mashhur zamane bhar mein

mere rishton ne mujhe kar diya badnam bahut

zulmat-e-gham hi mere ghar ka muqaddar Thahri

zaKHm ki shama se raushan hain dar-o-baam bahut
