lutf-e-shab-e-mah ai dil us dam mujhe hāsil ho

ik chāñd baġhal meñ ho ik chāñd muqābil ho

lutf-e-shab-e-mah ai dil us dam mujhe hasil ho

ek chand baghal mein ho ek chand muqabil ho

tez rakhiyo sar-e-har-ḳhār ko ai dasht-e-junūñ

shāyad aa jaa.e koī ābla-pā mere ba.ad

tez rakhiyo sar-e-har-KHar ko ai dasht-e-junun

shayad aa jae koi aabla-pa mere baad

yā ḳhafā hote the ham to minnateñ karte the aap

yā ḳhafā haiñ ham se vo aur ham manā sakte nahīñ

ya KHafa hote the hum to minnaten karte the aap

ya KHafa hain hum se wo aur hum mana sakte nahin

dil meñ ik iztirāb baaqī hai

ye nishān-e-shabāb baaqī hai

dil mein ek iztirab baqi hai

ye nishan-e-shabab baqi hai

sab ham-safīr chhoḌ ke tanhā chale ga.e

kunj-e-qafas meñ mujh ko giraftār dekh kar

sab ham-safir chhoD ke tanha chale gae

kunj-e-qafas mein mujh ko giraftar dekh kar
