aa.e bhī to khaa.e na gilaurī na malā itr

rokī mirī dāvat mujhe mehmāñ se gilā hai

aae bhi to khae na gilauri na mala itr

roki meri dawat mujhe mehman se gila hai

kyā hai mujhe dete ho gilaurī

chūne meñ kahīñ na sañkhiyā ho

kya hai mujhe dete ho gilauri

chune mein kahin na sankhiya ho

ri.āyat chāhiye aisī ki zebā.ī ho ma.anī kī

urūs-e-sher kā ai 'bahr' zevar ho to aisā ho

riayat chahiye aisi ki zebai ho mani ki

urus-e-sher ka ai 'bahr' zewar ho to aisa ho

takiya agar nasīb ho zānu-e-yār kā

maiñ aisī niiñd so.uuñ ki sābit ho mar gayā

takiya agar nasib ho zanu-e-yar ka

main aisi nind soun ki sabit ho mar gaya

vo kūcha sher-o-suḳhan kā hai tañg-o-tār ai 'bahr'

ki sūjhte nahīñ ma.anī baḌe zahīnoñ ko

wo kucha sher-o-suKHan ka hai tang-o-tar ai 'bahr'

ki sujhte nahin mani baDe zahinon ko
