ai gardish-e-ayyām hameñ rañj bahut hai

kuchh ḳhvāb the aaise ki bikharne ke nahīñ the

ai gardish-e-ayyam hamein ranj bahut hai

kuchh KHwab the aaise ki bikharne ke nahin the

maiñ chup rahā to aañkh se aañsū ubal paḌe

jab bolne lagā mirī āvāz phaT ga.ī

main chup raha to aankh se aansu ubal paDe

jab bolne laga meri aawaz phaT gai

ye mohabbat hai ise dekh tamāshā na banā

mujh se milnā hai to mil hadd-e-adab se aage

ye mohabbat hai ise dekh tamasha na bana

mujh se milna hai to mil hadd-e-adab se aage

chhoḌ aayā huuñ pīchhe sab āvāzoñ ko

ḳhāmoshī meñ dāḳhil hone vaalā huuñ

chhoD aaya hun pichhe sab aawazon ko

KHamoshi mein daKHil hone wala hun

āḳhir ye nākām mohabbat kaam aa.ī

tujh ko kho kar maiñ ne ḳhud ko paayā hai

aaKHir ye nakaam mohabbat kaam aai

tujh ko kho kar main ne KHud ko paya hai
