kali ko gudgudati hai bahaar aahista aahista

kalī ko gudgudātī hai bahār āhista āhista

guloñ par aa rahā hai ab nikhār āhista āhista

ye dil kā dard hai is meñ sukūñ mushkil se miltā hai

zarā Thahro ki aa.egā qarār āhista āhista

lagā.e haiñ ye kis kis ne mujhe ma.alūm hai sab kuchh

karūñ kyā dil ke zaḳhmoñ kā shumār āhista āhista

surūr-e-shab rag-o-pai se chalā aaya hai āñkhoñ meñ

sahar tak ḳhud hī utregā ḳhumār āhista āhista

bas ik īmān baaqī hai kaho to ye bhī hāzir hai

maiñ dil to kar chukā tum par nisār āhista āhista

shuā.eñ husn kī aisī bikhartī haiñ pas-e-parda

ki badlī se gire jaise phuvār āhista āhista

vafā par 'fauq' merī e.atibār un ko nahīñ aaya

magar aa.egā ik din e.atibār āhista āhista

kali ko gudgudati hai bahaar aahista aahista

gulon par aa raha hai ab nikhaar aahista aahista

ye dil ka dard hai is mein sukun mushkil se milta hai

zara Thahro ki aaega qarar aahista aahista

lagae hain ye kis kis ne mujhe malum hai sab kuchh

karun kya dil ke zaKHmon ka shumar aahista aahista

surur-e-shab rag-o-pai se chala aaya hai aankhon mein

sahar tak KHud hi utrega KHumar aahista aahista

bas ek iman baqi hai kaho to ye bhi hazir hai

main dil to kar chuka tum par nisar aahista aahista

shuaen husn ki aisi bikharti hain pas-e-parda

ki badli se gire jaise phuwar aahista aahista

wafa par 'fauq' meri eatibar un ko nahin aaya

magar aaega ek din eatibar aahista aahista
