us ne ġhairoñ kī tarah merī pazīrā.ī kī
baat to sach hai magar baat hai rusvā.ī kī
ḳhvāb thā yā ki sarāb aah hujūm-e-guzarāñ
fikr hai ab to sharīk-e-ġham-e-tanhā.ī kī
ḳhūn-e-dil ko shab-e-tārīk meñ raushan kar ke
ham ne tā-umr yuuñ hī anjuman-ārā.ī kī
tez-tar hotī ga.ī firqa-parastī kī havā
dhajjiyāñ ḳhuub uḌaa.ī ga.iiñ yaktā.ī kī
mas.ale kitne bhī uljhe hoñ sulajh sakte haiñ
band kamroñ meñ jo bāteñ na hoñ dānā.ī kī
us ne ghairon ki tarah meri pazirai ki
baat to sach hai magar baat hai ruswai ki
KHwab tha ya ki sarab aah hujum-e-guzaran
fikr hai ab to sharik-e-gham-e-tanhai ki
KHun-e-dil ko shab-e-tarik mein raushan kar ke
hum ne ta-umr yun hi anjuman-arai ki
tez-tar hoti gai firqa-parasti ki hawa
dhajjiyan KHub uDai gain yaktai ki
masale kitne bhi uljhe hon sulajh sakte hain
band kamron mein jo baaten na hon danai ki
