didani thi shikastagi dil ki

chāhe jis taur bayāñ kījiye afsāna-e-dard

jism ko ḳhauf bahut jaan ko andeshe the

chāhe jis taur raqam kiije girāñ-jānī-e-dil

ḳhuuñ meñ hañgāma bahut raah meñ vīrāne the

laakh chāhā dil-e-muztar kī kashākash se sivā

raqs-e-be-parva-o-bebāk kā āġhāz karūñ

ḳhūn-e-dil ashk karūñ ashk guhar-tāb karūñ

pas-e-dīvār-e-qafas sīna-e-dil chaak karūñ

laakh chāhā dil-e-shorīda pe mashkeñ thī bahut

lab-e-mushtāq pe būToñ kī zabāñ rakkhī thī

jaan ghabrātī thī andoh se tan meñ kyā kyā

jaan ghabrātī hai andoh se tan meñ kyā kyā

chahe jis taur bayan kijiye afsana-e-dard

jism ko KHauf bahut jaan ko andeshe the

chahe jis taur raqam kije giran-jaani-e-dil

KHun mein hangama bahut rah mein virane the

lakh chaha dil-e-muztar ki kashakash se siwa

raqs-e-be-parwa-o-bebak ka aaghaz karun

KHun-e-dil ashk karun ashk guhar-tab karun

pas-e-diwar-e-qafas sina-e-dil chaak karun

lakh chaha dil-e-shorida pe mashken thi bahut

lab-e-mushtaq pe buTon ki zaban rakkhi thi

jaan ghabraati thi andoh se tan mein kya kya

jaan ghabraati hai andoh se tan mein kya kya
