dekh jurm-o-saza ki baat na kar

dekh jurm-o-sazā kī baat na kar

mai-kade meñ ḳhudā kī baat na kar

maiñ to be-mehriyoñ kā aadī huuñ

mujh se mehr-o-vafā kī baat na kar

shauq-e-be-mudda.ā kā maarā huuñ

shauq-e-be-mudda.ā kī baat na kar

vo to muddat huī ki TuuT gayā

mere dast-e-duā kī baat na kar

jo nahīñ iḳhtiyār meñ mere

us but be-vafā kī baat na kar

ishq kī intihā ko dekh zarā

ishq kī ibtidā kī baat na kar

kyā milā fikr kī rasā.ī se

merī fikr-e-rasā kī baat na kar

is kī taqdīr meñ ḳharābī thī

is dil-e-mubtalā kī baat na kar

jo bhī honā thā ho gayā 'sho.ala'

karam-e-nāḳhudā kī baat na kar

dekh jurm-o-saza ki baat na kar

mai-kade mein KHuda ki baat na kar

main to be-mehriyon ka aadi hun

mujh se mehr-o-wafa ki baat na kar

shauq-e-be-muddaa ka mara hun

shauq-e-be-muddaa ki baat na kar

wo to muddat hui ki TuT gaya

mere dast-e-dua ki baat na kar

jo nahin iKHtiyar mein mere

us but be-wafa ki baat na kar

ishq ki intiha ko dekh zara

ishq ki ibtida ki baat na kar

kya mila fikr ki rasai se

meri fikr-e-rasa ki baat na kar

is ki taqdir mein KHarabi thi

is dil-e-mubtala ki baat na kar

jo bhi hona tha ho gaya 'shoala'

karam-e-naKHuda ki baat na kar
