balā.eñ le rahā huuñ is zamīñ ke zarre zarre kī

luTā thā jis jagah rāh-e-vafā meñ kārvāñ merā

balaen le raha hun is zamin ke zarre zarre ki

luTa tha jis jagah rah-e-wafa mein karwan mera

shikva-e-hijr-e-yār kaun kare

husn ko sharmsār kaun kare

shikwa-e-hijr-e-yar kaun kare

husn ko sharmsar kaun kare

de ke sāġhar mujhe kis lutf se saaqī ne kahā

dekhte jaao abhī ham tumheñ kyā dete haiñ

de ke saghar mujhe kis lutf se saqi ne kaha

dekhte jao abhi hum tumhein kya dete hain

sādgī kī intihā kar dī javānān chaman

umr bhar rañg mizāj bāġhbāñ dekhā kiye

sadgi ki intiha kar di jawanan chaman

umr bhar rang mizaj baghban dekha kiye

vufūr-e-shauq meñ ik ik qadam merā qayāmat thā

ḳhudā ma.alūm kyūñ-kar jalva-zār-e-husn tak pahuñchā

wufur-e-shauq mein ek ek qadam mera qayamat tha

KHuda malum kyun-kar jalwa-zar-e-husn tak pahuncha
