KHush-rang kis qadar KHas-o-KHashak the kabhi

ḳhush-rañg kis qadar ḳhas-o-ḳhāshāk the kabhī

zarre bhī zeb-o-zīnat-e-aflāk the kabhī

ab DhūñDte haiñ rāh-e-taḳhātub ke silsile

kyā ham vahī haiñ tum se jo bebāk the kabhī

go de sake na soz-e-darūñ kā hamāre saath

ye dīda-hā-e-ḳhushk bhī namnāk the kabhī

kuchh aur bhī aziiz huī haiñ nishāniyāñ

dāman vo taar taar haiñ jo chaak the kabhī

ham ne junūñ se pahle kiyā thā tumheñ pasand

achchhā to ham bhī sāhab-e-idrāk the kabhī

ab dhuup hai ki chhāñv mile umr ho ga.ī

mausam mizāj-e-dost ke chālāk the kabhī

KHush-rang kis qadar KHas-o-KHashak the kabhi

zarre bhi zeb-o-zinat-e-aflak the kabhi

ab DhunDte hain rah-e-taKHatub ke silsile

kya hum wahi hain tum se jo bebak the kabhi

go de sake na soz-e-darun ka hamare sath

ye dida-ha-e-KHushk bhi namnak the kabhi

kuchh aur bhi aziz hui hain nishaniyan

daman wo tar tar hain jo chaak the kabhi

hum ne junun se pahle kiya tha tumhein pasand

achchha to hum bhi sahab-e-idrak the kabhi

ab dhup hai ki chhanw mile umr ho gai

mausam mizaj-e-dost ke chaalak the kabhi
