pas-e-adab tere husn ka karte karte

pās-e-ādāb tire husn kā karte karte

tujh ko dekhā bhī kabhī hūñgā to Darte Darte

musta.id ho ke mire qatl pe aayā jallād

meñ ne ye sher paḌhā dard se marte marte

baare sad-shukr ḳhudā kā ki bar aa.ī ummīd

aarzū aaj kī yak umr se karte karte

sard-mehroñ setī paalā na paḌā thā so paḌā

ho ga.e sard dam-e-sard ke bharte bharte

manzil-e-ishq na tai hovī ba-qaul-e-'saudā'

mil ga.e ḳhaak meñ yaañ paañv ke dharte dharte

pas-e-adab tere husn ka karte karte

tujh ko dekha bhi kabhi hunga to Darte Darte

mustaid ho ke mere qatl pe aaya jallad

mein ne ye sher paDha dard se marte marte

bare sad-shukr KHuda ka ki bar aai ummid

aarzu aaj ki yak umr se karte karte

sard-mehron seti pala na paDa tha so paDa

ho gae sard dam-e-sard ke bharte bharte

manzil-e-ishq na tai howi ba-qaul-e-'sauda'

mil gae KHak mein yan panw ke dharte dharte
