bahut dinoñ meñ kahīñ hijr-e-māh-o-sāl ke ba.ad

rukā huā hai zamāna tire visāl ke ba.ad

bahut dinon mein kahin hijr-e-mah-o-sal ke baad

ruka hua hai zamana tere visal ke baad

kaise hañgāma-e-fursat meñ mile haiñ tujh se

ham bhare shahr kī ḳhalvat meñ mile haiñ tujh se

kaise hangama-e-fursat mein mile hain tujh se

hum bhare shahr ki KHalwat mein mile hain tujh se

pukārte haiñ unheñ sāhiloñ ke sannāTe

jo log Duub ga.e kashtiyāñ banāte hue

pukarte hain unhen sahilon ke sannaTe

jo log Dub gae kashtiyan banate hue

saa.e galī meñ jāgte rahte haiñ raat bhar

tanhā.iyoñ kī oT se jhāñkā na kar mujhe

sae gali mein jagte rahte hain raat bhar

tanhaiyon ki oT se jhanka na kar mujhe

tum to kahte the ki sab qaidī rihā.ī pā ga.e

phir pas-e-dīvār-e-zindāñ rāt-bhar rotā hai kaun

tum to kahte the ki sab qaidi rihai pa gae

phir pas-e-diwar-e-zindan raat-bhar rota hai kaun
