KHudi mera pata deti hai ab bhi

ḳhudī merā pata detī hai ab bhī

mujhe mujh se milā detī hai ab bhī

guzishta mausamoñ kī narm ḳhushbū

ta’alluq kā pata detī hai ab bhī

kabhī rah rah ke ik gumnām ḳhvāhish

safar kā hausla detī hai ab bhī

ye āvāra-mizājī dasht-e-jāñ meñ

nayā jaadū jagā detī hai ab bhī

umīd-e-sub.h-e-nau har shām-e-ġham meñ

thakan saarī miTā detī hai ab bhī

chamak ḳhush-rañg lahje kī tumhāre

na.ī sham'eñ jalā detī hai ab bhī

ġhazal ke dil-rubā lahje kī shoḳhī

suḳhan kā silsila detī hai ab bhī

KHudi mera pata deti hai ab bhi

mujhe mujh se mila deti hai ab bhi

guzishta mausamon ki narm KHushbu

ta’alluq ka pata deti hai ab bhi

kabhi rah rah ke ek gumnam KHwahish

safar ka hausla deti hai ab bhi

ye aawara-mizaji dasht-e-jaan mein

naya jadu jaga deti hai ab bhi

umid-e-subh-e-nau har sham-e-gham mein

thakan sari miTa deti hai ab bhi

chamak KHush-rang lahje ki tumhaare

nai sham'en jala deti hai ab bhi

ghazal ke dil-ruba lahje ki shoKHi

suKHan ka silsila deti hai ab bhi
