ye chaar din kī rifāqat bhī kam nahīñ ai dost

tamām umr bhalā kaun saath detā hai

ye chaar din ki rifaqat bhi kam nahin ai dost

tamam umr bhala kaun sath deta hai

shabāb-e-husn hai barq-o-sharar kī manzil hai

ye āzmā.ish-e-qalb-o-nazar kī manzil hai

shabab-e-husn hai barq-o-sharar ki manzil hai

ye aazmaish-e-qalb-o-nazar ki manzil hai

rah-e-talab meñ kise ārzū-e-manzil hai

shu.ūr ho to safar ḳhud safar kā hāsil hai

rah-e-talab mein kise aarzu-e-manzil hai

shuur ho to safar KHud safar ka hasil hai

nikhar ga.e haiñ pasīne meñ bhiig kar aariz

guloñ ne aur bhī shabnam se tāzgī paa.ī

nikhar gae hain pasine mein bhig kar aariz

gulon ne aur bhi shabnam se tazgi pai

bastiyoñ meñ hone ko hādse bhī hote haiñ

pattharoñ kī zad par kuchh aa.ine bhī hote haiñ

bastiyon mein hone ko hadse bhi hote hain

pattharon ki zad par kuchh aaine bhi hote hain
