ho na betab ada tumhaari aaj

ho na betāb adā tumhārī aaj

naaz kartī hai be-qarārī aaj

uḌ gayā ḳhaak par ġhubār apnā

ho ga.ī ḳhaak ḳhāksārī aaj

naza.a hai aur roz va.ada-e-vasl

hai bahar-taur dam-shumārī aaj

māna-e-qatl kyuuñ huā dushman

jaan hī jā.egī hamārī aaj

tere aate hī dam meñ dam aayā

ho ga.ī yaas umīd-vārī aaj

koī bhīñche hai dil ko pahlū meñ

kis ne kī us se ham-kinārī aaj

us ke shikve se hai asar zāhir

kuchh to kahtī hai āh-o-zārī aaj

ik na.ī aarzū kā ḳhuun huā

ham haiñ aur taaza sogvārī aaj

chhuT ga.e mar ke nesh-e-hijrāñ se

kaam aayā hai zaḳhm-e-kārī aaj

bekasī kyuuñ hai na.ash par majma.a

kyā huī tū mirī piyārī aaj

bhūle hazrat nasīhat ai nāseh

hai kisī kī to yādgārī aaj

'momin' us but ko dekh aah bharī

kyā huā lāf-e-dīn-dārī aaj

ho na betab ada tumhaari aaj

naz karti hai be-qarari aaj

uD gaya KHak par ghubar apna

ho gai KHak KHaksari aaj

naza hai aur roz wada-e-wasl

hai bahar-taur dam-shumari aaj

mana-e-qatl kyun hua dushman

jaan hi jaegi hamari aaj

tere aate hi dam mein dam aaya

ho gai yas umid-wari aaj

koi bhinche hai dil ko pahlu mein

kis ne ki us se ham-kinari aaj

us ke shikwe se hai asar zahir

kuchh to kahti hai aah-o-zari aaj

ek nai aarzu ka KHun hua

hum hain aur taza sogwari aaj

chhuT gae mar ke nesh-e-hijran se

kaam aaya hai zaKHm-e-kari aaj

bekasi kyun hai nash par majma

kya hui tu meri piyari aaj

bhule hazrat nasihat ai naseh

hai kisi ki to yaadgari aaj

'momin' us but ko dekh aah bhari

kya hua laf-e-din-dari aaj
