malal-e-ghuncha-e-tar jaega kabhi na kabhi

malāl-e-ġhuncha-e-tar jā.egā kabhī na kabhī

vo ḳhaak uḌā ke guzar jā.egā kabhī na kabhī

maiñ lāla-e-sar-e-sahrā makāñ nahīñ rakhtā

ki dasht hai mire ghar jā.egā kabhī na kabhī

barahna shāḳh havā zard be-zamīn shajar

parinda sū-e-safar jā.egā kabhī na kabhī

kahīñ bhī tā.ir-e-āvāra ho magar tai hai

jidhar kamāñ hai udhar jā.egā kabhī na kabhī

kisī ke haath se TuuTe na shīsha-e-sad-rañg

ye reza reza bikhar jā.egā kabhī na kabhī

guzishtanī hai ye sab kuchh jo hone vaalā hai

vo hādsa bhī guzar jā.egā kabhī na kabhī

vo nau-bahār bhī aafat hai dasta-e-sumbul

za-farq tā-ba-kamar jā.egā kabhī na kabhī

ye ishq hai ki ḳhumār-e-talab hai kyā ma.alūm

ḳhumār hai to utar jā.egā kabhī na kabhī

malal-e-ghuncha-e-tar jaega kabhi na kabhi

wo KHak uDa ke guzar jaega kabhi na kabhi

main lala-e-sar-e-sahra makan nahin rakhta

ki dasht hai mere ghar jaega kabhi na kabhi

barahna shaKH hawa zard be-zamin shajar

parinda su-e-safar jaega kabhi na kabhi

kahin bhi tair-e-awara ho magar tai hai

jidhar kaman hai udhar jaega kabhi na kabhi

kisi ke hath se TuTe na shisha-e-sad-rang

ye reza reza bikhar jaega kabhi na kabhi

guzishtani hai ye sab kuchh jo hone wala hai

wo hadsa bhi guzar jaega kabhi na kabhi

wo nau-bahaar bhi aafat hai dasta-e-sumbul

za-farq ta-ba-kamar jaega kabhi na kabhi

ye ishq hai ki KHumar-e-talab hai kya malum

KHumar hai to utar jaega kabhi na kabhi
