ila ya shah-e-KHuban kijiye shad

ilā yā shāh-e-ḳhūbāñ kījiye shaad

hue jaate haiñ āshiq ġham se barbād

hameñ tum yaad ho har lahza lekin

hamārī bhī kabhī to kījiye yaad

giraftār-e-balā bālā.e tū yaar

ġham-e-daurāñ se haiñ juuñ sarv āzād

agar lailā hai tū majnūñ haiñ ham

vagar shīrīñ hai tū ham haiñ farhād

vahī īrād kar saktā hai āḳhir

kiyā hai jis ne avval ham ko ījād

kisī shai ko durust-o-chust daa.em

na dekhā dar-jahān-e-sust buniyād

sher hai ashk-e-chashm-o-laḳht-e-dil se

uThāyā chāhiye ham-āb o ham-zād

gul-e-tar ḳhaar se samjheñ batar-tar

jo dekheñ andalībāñ rote sayyād

gulū-e-gul to pakḌe āḳhir-kār

ga.e kab rā.egāñ bulbul ke fariyād

abas karte ho bahr-e-tark takrār

azīzo huuñ maiñ duḳht-e-raz kā dāmād

nahīñ jis roz mī.ād āmad-e-yār

vahī ham jānte haiñ roz-e-mī.ād

bahut farzāna the dīvāne ham ko

banā.e shoḳh tiflāñ-e-parī-zād

hamal mirrīḳh māshūqoñ ne merā

kiyā hai sar judā az teġh-e-be-dād

hazārāñ shukr mulk-e-sindh meñ bhī

mirā maskan hai shahr-e-hyderabad

janāb haidar-e-safdar se 'mātam'

talab auqāt-e-mushkil meñ kar imdād

ila ya shah-e-KHuban kijiye shad

hue jate hain aashiq gham se barbaad

hamein tum yaad ho har lahza lekin

hamari bhi kabhi to kijiye yaad

giraftar-e-bala baalae tu yar

gham-e-dauran se hain jun sarw aazad

agar laila hai tu majnun hain hum

wagar shirin hai tu hum hain farhad

wahi irad kar sakta hai aaKHir

kiya hai jis ne awwal hum ko ijad

kisi shai ko durust-o-chust daem

na dekha dar-jahan-e-sust buniyaad

sher hai ashk-e-chashm-o-laKHt-e-dil se

uThaya chahiye ham-ab o ham-zad

gul-e-tar KHar se samjhen batar-tar

jo dekhen andaliban rote sayyaad

gulu-e-gul to pakDe aaKHir-kar

gae kab raegan bulbul ke fariyaad

abas karte ho bahr-e-tark takrar

azizo hun main duKHt-e-raz ka damad

nahin jis roz miad aamad-e-yar

wahi hum jaante hain roz-e-miad

bahut farzana the diwane hum ko

banae shoKH tiflan-e-pari-zad

hamal mirriKH mashuqon ne mera

kiya hai sar juda az tegh-e-be-dad

hazaran shukr mulk-e-sindh mein bhi

mera maskan hai shahr-e-hyderabad

janab haidar-e-safdar se 'matam'

talab auqat-e-mushkil mein kar imdad
