sharīf log kahāñ jaa.eñ kyā kareñ āḳhir

zamīñ chīḳhtī phirtī hai āsmāñ chup-chāp

sharif log kahan jaen kya karen aaKHir

zamin chiKHti phirti hai aasman chup-chap

koī lahja koī jumla koī chehra nikal aayā

purāne taaq ke sāmān se kyā kyā nikal aayā

koi lahja koi jumla koi chehra nikal aaya

purane taq ke saman se kya kya nikal aaya

raat hī ke dāman meñ chāñd bhī haiñ taare bhī

raat hī kī qismat hai be-charāġh honā bhī

raat hi ke daman mein chand bhi hain tare bhi

raat hi ki qismat hai be-charagh hona bhi
