kitne rishtoñ kā maiñ ne bharam rakh liyā

ik ta'alluq se dāman chhuḌāte hue

kitne rishton ka main ne bharam rakh liya

ek ta'alluq se daman chhuDate hue

chupke chupke apne andar jaate haiñ

sahme sahme bāhar aanā paḌtā hai

chupke chupke apne andar jate hain

sahme sahme bahar aana paDta hai

dil lagāne ko saarā jahāñ thā magar

sochtā kaun hai dil lagāte hue

dil lagane ko sara jahan tha magar

sochta kaun hai dil lagate hue

gumān hone lagā hai ye kis ke hone par

kahīñ kahīñ jo nahīñ hai kahīñ kahīñ hai bahut

guman hone laga hai ye kis ke hone par

kahin kahin jo nahin hai kahin kahin hai bahut

ye kyā ki ek taal pe duniyā hai mahv-e-raqs

is gardish-e-kuhan ko na.e sub.h-o-shām de

ye kya ki ek tal pe duniya hai mahw-e-raqs

is gardish-e-kuhan ko nae subh-o-sham de
