dāstān-e-shauq-e-dil aisī nahīñ thī muḳhtasar

jī lagā kar tum agar sunte maiñ kahtā aur bhī

dastan-e-shauq-e-dil aisi nahin thi muKHtasar

ji laga kar tum agar sunte main kahta aur bhi

dimāġh de jo ḳhudā gulshan-e-mohabbat meñ

har ek gul se tire pairahan kī bū aa.e

dimagh de jo KHuda gulshan-e-mohabbat mein

har ek gul se tere pairahan ki bu aae

nāseh ḳhatā muaaf suneñ kyā bahār meñ

ham iḳhtiyār meñ haiñ na dil iḳhtiyār meñ

naseh KHata muaf sunen kya bahaar mein

hum iKHtiyar mein hain na dil iKHtiyar mein

taḌaptī dekhtā huuñ jab koī shai

uThā letā huuñ apnā dil samajh kar

taDapti dekhta hun jab koi shai

uTha leta hun apna dil samajh kar

vaqt-e-ravā-ravī hai uThe qāfila ke log

saaqī chale piyāla jahāñ tak ki bas chale

waqt-e-rawa-rawi hai uThe qafila ke log

saqi chale piyala jahan tak ki bas chale
