ek pal ja na kahun nain sun ai nur-e-basar

ek pal jā na kahūñ nain suuñ ai nūr-e-basar

Tuk na ho is dil-e-tārīk suuñ ai badr badar

terī is sub.h binā gosh-o-ḳhat-e-mushkīñ suuñ

sair kartā huuñ ajab shām-o-sahar shām-o-sahar

jal ke maiñ surma huā balki huā kājal bhī

ḳhāna-e-chashm meñ tujh pā.ūñ jo Tuk raah magar

rāh-dārāñ leveñ har gaam meñ jiiv kā hāsil

haigā is raah meñ ai umr-e-abad jaañ kā ḳhatar

qible suuñ muuñh phirāyā tire mukh kī jānib

kiyā zāhid ne make suuñ sū-e-but-ḳhāna safar

chāñd sūraj kī rakh ainak kuuñ sadā pīr-e-falak

ḳham ho kartā hai nazar taaki dekhe terī kamar

ek pal ja na kahun nain sun ai nur-e-basar

Tuk na ho is dil-e-tarik sun ai badr badar

teri is subh bina gosh-o-KHat-e-mushkin sun

sair karta hun ajab sham-o-sahar sham-o-sahar

jal ke main surma hua balki hua kajal bhi

KHana-e-chashm mein tujh paun jo Tuk rah magar

rah-daran lewen har gam mein jiw ka hasil

haiga is rah mein ai umr-e-abad jaan ka KHatar

qible sun munh phiraya tere mukh ki jaanib

kiya zahid ne make sun su-e-but-KHana safar

chand suraj ki rakh ainak kun sada pir-e-falak

KHam ho karta hai nazar taki dekhe teri kamar
