chāhiye kyā tumheñ tohfe meñ batā do varna

ham to bāzār ke bāzār uThā lā.eñge

chahiye kya tumhein tohfe mein bata do warna

hum to bazar ke bazar uTha laenge

tarāsh aur bhī apne tasavvur-e-rab ko

tire ḳhudā se to behtar mirā sanam hai abhī

tarash aur bhi apne tasawwur-e-rab ko

tere KHuda se to behtar mera sanam hai abhi

tūfān-e-bahr ḳhaak Darātā mujhe 'turāb'

us se baḌā bhañvar to safīne ke biich thā

tufan-e-bahr KHak Daraata mujhe 'turab'

us se baDa bhanwar to safine ke bich tha

vo ik suḳhan hī hamārī sanad na ban jaa.e

vo ik suḳhan jo tumhārī sanad nahīñ rakhtā

wo ek suKHan hi hamari sanad na ban jae

wo ek suKHan jo tumhaari sanad nahin rakhta

yuuñ mohabbat se na ham ḳhāna-ba-doshoñ ko bulā

itne saada haiñ ki ghar-bār uThā lā.eñge

yun mohabbat se na hum KHana-ba-doshon ko bula

itne sada hain ki ghar-bar uTha laenge
