KHud ko pane ki justuju hai wahi

ḳhud ko paane kī justujū hai vahī

us se milne kī aarzū hai vahī

us kā chehra usī ke ḳhadd-o-ḳhāl

apnā mauzū-e-guftugū hai vahī

haiñ usī ke ye rañg-hā-e-suḳhan

mere pahlū meñ ḳhūb-rū hai vahī

kitne mausam badal ga.e lekin

dil vahī dil kī aarzū hai vahī

hai vahī shauq-e-chāk-dāmānī

aur phir ḳhvāhish-e-rafū hai vahī

sajda-bāzān-e-shahr pā.inda

dast-e-āzar kī aabrū hai vahī

ḳhū-e-taslīm sar salāmat-bād

bandagī tauq-e-dar-gulū hai vahī

kam nahīñ shor-e-nāla-o-fariyād

mātam-e-shahr aarzū hai vahī

KHud ko pane ki justuju hai wahi

us se milne ki aarzu hai wahi

us ka chehra usi ke KHadd-o-KHal

apna mauzu-e-guftugu hai wahi

hain usi ke ye rang-ha-e-suKHan

mere pahlu mein KHub-ru hai wahi

kitne mausam badal gae lekin

dil wahi dil ki aarzu hai wahi

hai wahi shauq-e-chaak-damani

aur phir KHwahish-e-rafu hai wahi

sajda-bazan-e-shahr painda

dast-e-azar ki aabru hai wahi

KHu-e-taslim sar salamat-baad

bandagi tauq-e-dar-gulu hai wahi

kam nahin shor-e-nala-o-fariyaad

matam-e-shahr aarzu hai wahi
