na pahunche chhuT kar kunj-e-qafas se hum nasheman tak

na pahuñche chhūT kar kunj-e-qafas se ham nasheman tak

par-e-parvāz ne yaarī na kī dīvār-e-gulshan tak

vo be-dil huuñ ki mujh se dostī kartā hai dushman tak

vo rahrav huuñ ki mujh ko raah batlātā hai rahzan tak

pas-e-murdan ye ai mashshāta-e-bād-e-sabā karnā

hamārī ḳhaak surma ban ke pahuñche chashm-e-rauzan tak

ḳhizāñ meñ dekh lenā vādī-e-pur-ḳhār se bad-tar

chaman bhī hai bahār-e-lāla-o-nasrīn-o-sosan tak

kidhar aayā hai dil pachhtāoge nādāñ na ho dekho

na pahuñchoge kabhī ai 'mehr' tum us shoḳh-e-har-fan tak

na pahunche chhuT kar kunj-e-qafas se hum nasheman tak

par-e-parwaz ne yari na ki diwar-e-gulshan tak

wo be-dil hun ki mujh se dosti karta hai dushman tak

wo rahraw hun ki mujh ko rah batlata hai rahzan tak

pas-e-murdan ye ai mashshata-e-baad-e-saba karna

hamari KHak surma ban ke pahunche chashm-e-rauzan tak

KHizan mein dekh lena wadi-e-pur-KHar se bad-tar

chaman bhi hai bahaar-e-lala-o-nasrin-o-sosan tak

kidhar aaya hai dil pachhtaoge nadan na ho dekho

na pahunchoge kabhi ai 'mehr' tum us shoKH-e-har-fan tak
