dil TuuTā to 'mīt' samajh meñ ye aayā

ishq vafā sab ek pahelī niklī hai

dil TuTa to 'mit' samajh mein ye aaya

ishq wafa sab ek paheli nikli hai

ik taraf pyaar hai rishta hai vafādārī hai

aur in sab meñ hī us ġham kī taraf-dārī hai

ek taraf pyar hai rishta hai wafadari hai

aur in sab mein hi us gham ki taraf-dari hai

ġhalat-fahmiyāñ 'mīt' rakkho na dil meñ

vahī sach nahīñ jitnā tum ne sunā hai

ghalat-fahmiyan 'mit' rakkho na dil mein

wahi sach nahin jitna tum ne suna hai

hamārā hijr bhī ab mas.ala ban

zamāne meñ uchhaltā jā rahā hai

hamara hijr bhi ab masala ban

zamane mein uchhalta ja raha hai

shor-sharāba rahtā thā jis āñgan meñ

aaj vahāñ se bas ḳhāmoshī niklī hai

shor-sharaba rahta tha jis aangan mein

aaj wahan se bas KHamoshi nikli hai
