hum jise samajhte the sai-e-raegan yaro

ham jise samajhte the sa.ī-e-rā.egāñ yaaro

ab usī se milnā hai apnā kuchh nishāñ yaaro

ruk sake to mumkin hai naġhmagī meñ Dhal jaa.e

uTh rahī hai sīnoñ meñ shorish-e-fuġhāñ yaaro

kyā ḳhayāl hai tum ko kyā malāl hai tum ko

pūchhtā koī tum se kyuuñ huuñ sargirāñ yaaro

barq se tasādum kā vaqt aa hī jā.egā

DhūñDte rahoge tum barq se amaañ yaaro

sach se pyaar karne kā hausla nahīñ hai aur

maslahat kī rāhoñ se dil hai bad-gumāñ yaaro

kuchh surūr to hogā koī nuur to hogā

jis se zulmat-e-shab meñ dil hai naġhma-ḳhvāñ yaaro

kam-sabāt hotī hai tāzgī-o-ra.anā.ī

der tak nahīñ rahtā sub.h kā samāñ yaaro

hum jise samajhte the sai-e-raegan yaro

ab usi se milna hai apna kuchh nishan yaro

ruk sake to mumkin hai naghmagi mein Dhal jae

uTh rahi hai sinon mein shorish-e-fughan yaro

kya KHayal hai tum ko kya malal hai tum ko

puchhta koi tum se kyun hun sargiran yaro

barq se tasadum ka waqt aa hi jaega

DhunDte rahoge tum barq se aman yaro

sach se pyar karne ka hausla nahin hai aur

maslahat ki rahon se dil hai bad-guman yaro

kuchh surur to hoga koi nur to hoga

jis se zulmat-e-shab mein dil hai naghma-KHwan yaro

kam-sabaat hoti hai tazgi-o-ranai

der tak nahin rahta subh ka saman yaro
