ik janam ke pyāse bhī sair hoñ to ham jāneñ

yuuñ to rahmat-e-yazdāñ chār-sū barastī hai

ek janam ke pyase bhi sair hon to hum jaanen

yun to rahmat-e-yazdan chaar-su barasti hai

vaqt kī laash pe rone ko jigar hai kis kā

kis janāze ko liye ahl-e-nazar aate haiñ

waqt ki lash pe rone ko jigar hai kis ka

kis janaze ko liye ahl-e-nazar aate hain

chashm-e-nargis ko havas hai ki chaman meñ dekhe

ātish-e-gul ke bhaḌakne kā samāñ kyā hogā

chashm-e-nargis ko hawas hai ki chaman mein dekhe

aatish-e-gul ke bhaDakne ka saman kya hoga

phir mashiyyat se ulajhtī hai mirī dīvāngī

nāla-e-shab-gīr ashkoñ ke guhar kaafī nahīñ

phir mashiyyat se ulajhti hai meri diwangi

nala-e-shab-gir ashkon ke guhar kafi nahin

shaam kī bhīgī huī palkoñ meñ phir

koī aañsū aa.e aur taarā bane

sham ki bhigi hui palkon mein phir

koi aansu aae aur tara bane
