but yahāñ milte nahīñ haiñ yā ḳhudā miltā nahīñ

azm mustahkam to ho duniyā meñ kyā miltā nahīñ

but yahan milte nahin hain ya KHuda milta nahin

azm mustahkam to ho duniya mein kya milta nahin

DhūñDhtā phirtā hai mujh ko kyuuñ fareb-e-rañg-o-bū

maiñ vahāñ huuñ ḳhud jahāñ apnā pata miltā nahīñ

DhunDhta phirta hai mujh ko kyun fareb-e-rang-o-bu

main wahan hun KHud jahan apna pata milta nahin

laġhzish-e-sāqī-e-mai-ḳhāna ḳhudā ḳhair kare

phir na TuuTe koī paimāna ḳhudā ḳhair kare

laghzish-e-saqi-e-mai-KHana KHuda KHair kare

phir na TuTe koi paimana KHuda KHair kare

taḳhrīb ke parde meñ hī ta.amīr hai saaqī

shīsha koī pighlā hai to paimāna banā hai

taKHrib ke parde mein hi tamir hai saqi

shisha koi pighla hai to paimana bana hai

takmīl-e-vafā hosh meñ mumkin hī nahīñ thā

dīvāna samajh buujh ke dīvāna banā hai

takmil-e-wafa hosh mein mumkin hi nahin tha

diwana samajh bujh ke diwana bana hai
