dil dasht hai to ashk-fishani karenge hum

dil dasht hai to ashk-fishānī kareñge ham

ye kaam bas barā-e-ravānī kareñge ham

baiThe haiñ shāmiyāna-e-shab-rañg meñ udaas

rañg-e-ruḳh-e-shafaq abhī dhānī kareñge ham

pichhle baras ke ishq pe ham ko yaqīn thā

agle baras kā ishq gumānī kareñge ham

chāheñ to is ko teġh-e-ḳhamoshī se kaaT deñ

lekin junūñ se jañg zabānī kareñge ham

Thahre haiñ sail-e-harf-o-ma.ānī meñ dam-ba-ḳhud

zāhir kabhī to dard-e-nihānī kareñge ham

qāmat pe apnī naaz kare koh-e-shām-e-ġham

ghabrā ke aaj marsiya-ḳhvānī kareñge ham

dariyā kī samt bhāgte jā.eñge saarī umr

āḳhir meñ apnī pyaas ko paanī kareñge ham

dil dasht hai to ashk-fishani karenge hum

ye kaam bas bara-e-rawani karenge hum

baiThe hain shamiyana-e-shab-rang mein udas

rang-e-ruKH-e-shafaq abhi dhani karenge hum

pichhle baras ke ishq pe hum ko yaqin tha

agle baras ka ishq gumani karenge hum

chahen to is ko tegh-e-KHamoshi se kaT den

lekin junun se jang zabani karenge hum

Thahre hain sail-e-harf-o-maani mein dam-ba-KHud

zahir kabhi to dard-e-nihani karenge hum

qamat pe apni naz kare koh-e-sham-e-gham

ghabra ke aaj marsiya-KHwani karenge hum

dariya ki samt bhagte jaenge sari umr

aaKHir mein apni pyas ko pani karenge hum
