ji jae magar na wo pari jae

jī jaa.e magar na vo parī jaa.e

yārab na hamārī dil-lagī jaa.e

dil hijr meñ jaa.e yā ki jī jaa.e

jis kā jī chāhe vo abhī jaa.e

is gil kā na vasl ho na jī jaa.e

kyūñki mere dil kī be-kalī jaa.e

tum la.al-e-lab apne gar dikhāo

phir sū-e-yaman na jauharī jaa.e

is ġhuncha-dahan kī bū na laa.e

dikhlā.e na muñh sabā chalī jaa.e

sauġhāt kī tarah pesh-e-majnūñ

beḌī aur merī hathkaḌī jaa.e

sābit hai jab pahāḌ-e-vahshat

jab tak dāman hamārā sī jaa.e

ġhairoñ ko to mai pilā.e saaqī

maiñ māñgūñ to saaf sun ke pī jaa.e

ham-rāh ho parvarish-e-alī bhī

yaañ se jo karbalā 'saḳhī' jaa.e

ji jae magar na wo pari jae

yarab na hamari dil-lagi jae

dil hijr mein jae ya ki ji jae

jis ka ji chahe wo abhi jae

is gil ka na wasl ho na ji jae

kyunki mere dil ki be-kali jae

tum lal-e-lab apne gar dikhao

phir su-e-yaman na jauhari jae

is ghuncha-dahan ki bu na lae

dikhlae na munh saba chali jae

saughat ki tarah pesh-e-majnun

beDi aur meri hathkaDi jae

sabit hai jab pahaD-e-wahshat

jab tak daman hamara si jae

ghairon ko to mai pilae saqi

main mangun to saf sun ke pi jae

ham-rah ho parwarish-e-ali bhi

yan se jo karbala 'saKHi' jae
