vo mehrbān nahīñ hai to phir ḳhafā hogā

koī to rābta us ko bahāl rakhnā hai

wo mehrban nahin hai to phir KHafa hoga

koi to rabta us ko bahaal rakhna hai

ye sach hai us se bichhaḌ kar mujhe zamāna huā

magar vo lauTnā chāhe to phir zamāna bhī kyā

ye sach hai us se bichhaD kar mujhe zamana hua

magar wo lauTna chahe to phir zamana bhi kya

be-niyāz-e-dahr kar detā hai ishq

be-zaroñ ko la.al-o-zar detā hai ishq

be-niyaz-e-dahr kar deta hai ishq

be-zaron ko lal-o-zar deta hai ishq

maiñ apnī maañ ke vasīle se zinda-tar Thahrūñ

ki vo lahū mire sabr-o-razā meñ raushan hai

main apni man ke wasile se zinda-tar Thahrun

ki wo lahu mere sabr-o-raza mein raushan hai

maiñ qatl ho ke bhī sharminda apne-āp se huuñ

ki is ke baa'd to saarā zavāl hai us kā

main qatl ho ke bhi sharminda apne-ap se hun

ki is ke ba'd to sara zawal hai us ka
