aah ye mahkī huī shāmeñ ye logoñ ke hujūm

dil ko kuchh biitī huī tanhā.iyāñ yaad aa ga.iiñ

aah ye mahki hui shamen ye logon ke hujum

dil ko kuchh biti hui tanhaiyan yaad aa gain

sīrat na ho to āriz-o-ruḳhsār sab ġhalat

ḳhushbū uḌī to phuul faqat rañg rah gayā

sirat na ho to aariz-o-ruKHsar sab ghalat

KHushbu uDi to phul faqat rang rah gaya

koī dastak koī aahaT na shanāsā āvāz

ḳhaak uḌtī hai dar-e-dil pe bayābāñ kī tarah

koi dastak koi aahaT na shanasa aawaz

KHak uDti hai dar-e-dil pe bayaban ki tarah

hameñ ḳhabar hai ki ham haiñ charāġh-e-āḳhir-e-shab

hamāre ba.ad añdherā nahīñ ujālā hai

hamein KHabar hai ki hum hain charagh-e-aKHir-e-shab

hamare baad andhera nahin ujala hai

farz barsoñ kī ibādat kā adā ho jaise

but ko yuuñ puuj rahe haiñ ki ḳhudā ho jaise

farz barson ki ibaadat ka ada ho jaise

but ko yun puj rahe hain ki KHuda ho jaise
