bahut shagufta-o-rañgīn guftugū hai 'sirāj'

chaman meñ baat tirī rañg-o-bū se khelegī

bahut shagufta-o-rangin guftugu hai 'siraj'

chaman mein baat teri rang-o-bu se khelegi

bastī tamām ḳhvāb kī vīrān ho ga.ī

yuuñ ḳhatm shab huī sahar āsān ho ga.ī

basti tamam KHwab ki viran ho gai

yun KHatm shab hui sahar aasan ho gai

is qadar Duube gunāh-e-ishq meñ tere habīb

sochte haiñ jā.eñge kis muñh se tauba kī taraf

is qadar Dube gunah-e-ishq mein tere habib

sochte hain jaenge kis munh se tauba ki taraf

ḳhvāb-ālud nigāhoñ se ye kahtā guzrā

maiñ haqīqat thā jo ta.abīr meñ rakkhā gayā thā

KHwab-alud nigahon se ye kahta guzra

main haqiqat tha jo tabir mein rakkha gaya tha

maiñ hikāyat-e-dil-e-be-navā meñ ishārat-e-ġham-e-jāvidāñ

maiñ vo harf-e-āḳhir-e-motabar jo likhā gayā na paḌhā gayā

main hikayat-e-dil-e-be-nawa mein ishaarat-e-gham-e-jawidan

main wo harf-e-aKHir-e-motabar jo likha gaya na paDha gaya
