āshnā koī nazar aatā nahīñ yaañ ai 'havas'

kis ko maiñ apnā anīs-e-kunj-e-tanhā.ī karūñ

aashna koi nazar aata nahin yan ai 'hawas'

kis ko main apna anis-e-kunj-e-tanhai karun

na paayā vaqt ai zāhid koī maiñ ne ibādat kā

shab-e-hijrāñ huī āḳhir to sub.h-e-intizār aa.ī

na paya waqt ai zahid koi main ne ibaadat ka

shab-e-hijran hui aaKHir to subh-e-intizar aai

rañg-e-gul-e-shagufta huuñ āb-e-ruḳh-e-chaman huuñ maiñ

sham-e-haram charāġh-e-dair qashqa-e-barhaman huuñ maiñ

rang-e-gul-e-shagufta hun aab-e-ruKH-e-chaman hun main

sham-e-haram charagh-e-dair qashqa-e-barhaman hun main

suntā huuñ na kānoñ se na kuchh muñh se huuñ baktā

ḳhālī hai jagah mahfil-e-tasvīr meñ merī

sunta hun na kanon se na kuchh munh se hun bakta

KHali hai jagah mahfil-e-taswir mein meri

zāhid kā dil na ḳhātir-e-mai-ḳhvār toḌiye

sau baar to ye kījiye sau baar toḌiye

zahid ka dil na KHatir-e-mai-KHwar toDiye

sau bar to ye kijiye sau bar toDiye
