Dūbne vaalā thā din shaam thī hone vaalī

yuuñ lagā mirī koī chiiz thī khone vaalī

Dubne wala tha din sham thi hone wali

yun laga meri koi chiz thi khone wali

jam.a kartī hai mujhe raat bahut mushkil se

sub.h ko ghar se nikalte hī bikharne ke liye

jama karti hai mujhe raat bahut mushkil se

subh ko ghar se nikalte hi bikharne ke liye

ḳhud banā letā huuñ maiñ apnī udāsī kā sabab

DhūñD hī letī hai 'shāhīñ' mujh ko vīrānī mirī

KHud bana leta hun main apni udasi ka sabab

DhunD hi leti hai 'shahin' mujh ko virani meri

kuchh zamāne kī ravish ne saḳht mujh ko kar diyā

aur kuchh bedard maiñ us ko bhulāne se huā

kuchh zamane ki rawish ne saKHt mujh ko kar diya

aur kuchh bedard main us ko bhulane se hua

maiñ ne dekhā hai chaman se ruḳhsat-e-gul kā samāñ

sab se pahle rañg maddham ek kone se huā

main ne dekha hai chaman se ruKHsat-e-gul ka saman

sab se pahle rang maddham ek kone se hua
