jo ho sake to chale aao aaj merī taraf

mile bhī der huī aur jī udaas bhī hai

jo ho sake to chale aao aaj meri taraf

mile bhi der hui aur ji udas bhi hai

kyā kyā farāġhateñ thiiñ mayassar hayāt ko

vo din bhī the ki tere sivā koī ġham na thā

kya kya faraghaten thin mayassar hayat ko

wo din bhi the ki tere siwa koi gham na tha

ḳhulūs-e-niyat-e-rahbar pe munhasir hai 'azīm'

maqām-e-ishq bahut duur bhī hai paas bhī hai

KHulus-e-niyat-e-rahbar pe munhasir hai 'azim'

maqam-e-ishq bahut dur bhi hai pas bhi hai

dard-e-mahrūmī-e-jāved bhī ik daulat hai

ahl-e-ġham bhī tire sharminda-e-ehsāñ nikle

dard-e-mahrumi-e-jawed bhi ek daulat hai

ahl-e-gham bhi tere sharminda-e-ehsan nikle

aaj tak yaad hai vo shām-e-judā.ī kā samāñ

terī āvāz kī larzish tire lahje kī thakan

aaj tak yaad hai wo sham-e-judai ka saman

teri aawaz ki larzish tere lahje ki thakan
