diloñ kī uqda-kushā.ī kā vaqt hai ki nahīñ

ye aadmī kī ḳhudā.ī kā vaqt hai ki nahīñ

dilon ki uqda-kushai ka waqt hai ki nahin

ye aadmi ki KHudai ka waqt hai ki nahin

ek taraf rū-e-jānāñ thā jaltī aañkh meñ ek taraf

sayyāroñ kī raakh meñ miltī raat thī ik bedārī kī

ek taraf ru-e-jaanan tha jalti aankh mein ek taraf

sayyaron ki rakh mein milti raat thi ek bedari ki

ġham-e-hayāt o ġham-e-dost kī kashākash meñ

ham aise log to rañj-o-malāl se bhī ga.e

gham-e-hayat o gham-e-dost ki kashakash mein

hum aise log to ranj-o-malal se bhi gae

jab aa.ī sā.at-e-be-tāb terī be-libāsī kī

to ā.īne meñ jitne zāviye the rah ga.e jal kar

jab aai saat-e-be-tab teri be-libasi ki

to aaine mein jitne zawiye the rah gae jal kar

ḳhuuñ huā dil ki pashīmān-e-sadāqat hai vafā

ḳhush huā jī ki chalo aaj tumhāre hue log

KHun hua dil ki pashiman-e-sadaqat hai wafa

KHush hua ji ki chalo aaj tumhaare hue log
