buton ko kibriyai kyun na aai

butoñ ko kibriyā.ī kyuuñ na aa.ī

ḳhudā ho kar ḳhudā.ī kyuuñ na aa.ī

mizāj-e-yār rangīñ thā mire kaam

mirī rangīñ-navā.ī kyuuñ na aa.ī

vafā bhī dilrubā.ī kā hai andāz

tumheñ ye dilrubā.ī kyuuñ na aa.ī

jo tum ne siikh lī ġhair-āshnā.ī

mujhe dushman kī aa.ī kyuuñ na aa.ī

vafādārī zarā tum kyuuñ na sīkhe

hameñ kuchh bevafā.ī kyuuñ na aa.ī

mujhe bād-e-sabā se ye gila hai

barā.e dil-kushā.ī kyuuñ na aa.ī

hamārī dāstān-e-dard sun kar

unheñ riqqat na aa.ī kyuuñ na aa.ī

shab-e-ġham kī na sūrat dekhtī maiñ

ajal roz-e-judā.ī kyuuñ na aa.ī

buton ko kibriyai kyun na aai

KHuda ho kar KHudai kyun na aai

mizaj-e-yar rangin tha mere kaam

meri rangin-nawai kyun na aai

wafa bhi dilrubai ka hai andaz

tumhein ye dilrubai kyun na aai

jo tum ne sikh li ghair-ashnai

mujhe dushman ki aai kyun na aai

wafadari zara tum kyun na sikhe

hamein kuchh bewafai kyun na aai

mujhe baad-e-saba se ye gila hai

barae dil-kushai kyun na aai

hamari dastan-e-dard sun kar

unhen riqqat na aai kyun na aai

shab-e-gham ki na surat dekhti main

ajal roz-e-judai kyun na aai
