hath malta hai pashiman-e-jafa mere baad

haath maltā hai pashīmān-e-jafā mere baa'd

ḳhair yuuñ baḌh ga.ī tauqīr-e-vafā mere baa'd

ḳhud se mahjūb hai ḳhud un kī hayā mere baa'd

husn maġhmūm hai ma.azūr-e-adā mere baa'd

rañg lā.egī mirī āh-e-rasā mere baa'd

tum mujhe yaad karoge ba-ḳhudā mere baa'd

ho ga.e zard kaf-e-dast-e-nigārīñ afsos

ḳhair sarsabz to hai naḳhl-e-hinā mere baa'd

sogvārī meñ hasīnoñ ne baḌhā.e jhūle

kitnī be-kaif hai sāvan kī fazā mere baa'd

kyuuñ nadāmat se tah-e-ḳhāk gaḌā jaatā huuñ

tum ne kis dil se mujhe yaad kiyā mere baa'd

ab kahāñ haiñ vo lab-e-bām qamar ke jalve

un kī sūrat ko tarastī hai fazā mere baa'd

qabr par laa.e chaḌhāne ko mirī ā.īna

yuuñ uThī mayyat-e-andāz-o-adā mere baa'd

bhuul jaate haiñ vo ab roz lagānā mehñdī

roz pisne ko tarastī hai hinā mere baa'd

mar ke kyā chain mile ab ye ḳhalish hai 'tālib'

bā-vafā ban ga.e arbāb-e-jafā mere baa'd

hath malta hai pashiman-e-jafa mere ba'd

KHair yun baDh gai tauqir-e-wafa mere ba'd

KHud se mahjub hai KHud un ki haya mere ba'd

husn maghmum hai mazur-e-ada mere ba'd

rang laegi meri aah-e-rasa mere ba'd

tum mujhe yaad karoge ba-KHuda mere ba'd

ho gae zard kaf-e-dast-e-nigarin afsos

KHair sarsabz to hai naKHl-e-hina mere ba'd

sogwari mein hasinon ne baDhae jhule

kitni be-kaif hai sawan ki faza mere ba'd

kyun nadamat se tah-e-KHak gaDa jata hun

tum ne kis dil se mujhe yaad kiya mere ba'd

ab kahan hain wo lab-e-baam qamar ke jalwe

un ki surat ko tarasti hai faza mere ba'd

qabr par lae chaDhane ko meri aaina

yun uThi mayyat-e-andaz-o-ada mere ba'd

bhul jate hain wo ab roz lagana mehndi

roz pisne ko tarasti hai hina mere ba'd

mar ke kya chain mile ab ye KHalish hai 'talib'

ba-wafa ban gae arbab-e-jafa mere ba'd
