ḳhud apnī shai pe adhūrā hai iḳhtiyār mujhe

girā to saktā huuñ aañsū uThā nahīñ saktā

KHud apni shai pe adhura hai iKHtiyar mujhe

gira to sakta hun aansu uTha nahin sakta

yuuñ bhī āñkhoñ se nikalne nahīñ detā aañsū

ashk-e-ġham terā tasavvur na bahā le jaa.e

yun bhi aankhon se nikalne nahin deta aansu

ashk-e-gham tera tasawwur na baha le jae

kaise hastī ke samundar kā talātum Thahre

kaise hasti ke samundar ka talatum Thahre

vo ek shaḳhs to patthar uchhāl kar chup hai

samundaroñ se abhī tak sadā.eñ aatī haiñ

wo ek shaKHs to patthar uchhaal kar chup hai

samundaron se abhi tak sadaen aati hain

muflisī apne hoñT sī aa.ī

ab jo chaho wo faisla kar lo

muflisi apne honT si aai
