dam kā aanā to baḌī baat hai lab par 'ārif'

zo.af ne harf-e-shikāyat kabhī aane na diyā

dam ka aana to baDi baat hai lab par 'arif'

zoaf ne harf-e-shikayat kabhi aane na diya

furqat meñ kār-e-vasl liyā vaah vaah se

har āh-e-dil ke saath ik armāñ nikal gayā

furqat mein kar-e-wasl liya wah wah se

har aah-e-dil ke sath ek arman nikal gaya

huuñ tishna-kām-e-dasht-e-shahādat zi-bas ki maiñ

girtā huuñ āb-e-ḳhanjar-o-shamshīr dekh kar

hun tishna-kaam-e-dasht-e-shahadat zi-bas ki main

girta hun aab-e-KHanjar-o-shamshir dekh kar

paanī nikal ke dasht meñ jaarī hai jā-ba-jā

yā-rab gayā hai kaun ye sar par uḌā ke ḳhaak

pani nikal ke dasht mein jari hai ja-ba-ja

ya-rab gaya hai kaun ye sar par uDa ke KHak

tum apnī zulf se pūchho mirī pareshānī

ki haal us ko hai ma.alūm hū-ba-hū merā

tum apni zulf se puchho meri pareshani

ki haal us ko hai malum hu-ba-hu mera
