'ajīb Dhang se mujh ko milī hai āzādī

parinda piñjre meñ piñjra havā meñ rakkhā gayā

'ajib Dhang se mujh ko mili hai aazadi

parinda pinjre mein pinjra hawa mein rakkha gaya

faqat ye lakḌī nahīñ hai tumhārī baisākhī

shajar ke haath kaTe haiñ ise banāne meñ

faqat ye lakDi nahin hai tumhaari baisakhi

shajar ke hath kaTe hain ise banane mein

ham haiñ zanjīroñ kī khan-khan ke bigāḌe hue log

terī pāzeb kī chhan-chhan meñ nahīñ aa sakte

hum hain zanjiron ki khan-khan ke bigaDe hue log

teri pazeb ki chhan-chhan mein nahin aa sakte

log kahte haiñ mujhe is liye tanhā.ī-pasand

mujh se pāgal ko kahīñ paas biThānā na paḌe

log kahte hain mujhe is liye tanhai-pasand

mujh se pagal ko kahin pas biThana na paDe

vo hijr-zāde shab-e-vasl ye bhī bhuul ga.e

charāġh un ko jalāne nahīñ bujhāne the

wo hijr-zade shab-e-wasl ye bhi bhul gae

charagh un ko jalane nahin bujhane the
