shām-e-avadh ne zulf meñ gūñdhe nahīñ haiñ phuul

tere baġhair sub.h-e-banaras udaas hai

sham-e-awadh ne zulf mein gundhe nahin hain phul

tere baghair subh-e-banaras udas hai

rah-e-qarār ajab rāh-e-be-qarārī hai

ruke hue haiñ musāfir safar bhī jaarī hai

rah-e-qarar ajab rah-e-be-qarari hai

ruke hue hain musafir safar bhi jari hai

be-dīn hue īmān diyā ham ishq meñ sab kuchh kho baiThe

aur jin ko samajhte the apnā vo aur kisī ke ho baiThe

be-din hue iman diya hum ishq mein sab kuchh kho baiThe

aur jin ko samajhte the apna wo aur kisi ke ho baiThe

terā honā na maan kar goyā

tujh ko taslīm kar rahā huuñ maiñ

tera hona na man kar goya

tujh ko taslim kar raha hun main

dil kā sukūn rizq ke hañgāme khā ga.e

sukh aadmī kā chand nivāloñ ne Das liyā

dil ka sukun rizq ke hangame kha gae

sukh aadmi ka chand niwalon ne Das liya
