mere lahje mein mere zaKHm ki gahrai hai

mere lahje meñ mire zaḳhm kī gahrā.ī hai

raushnī raat ke āñgan meñ utar aa.ī hai

phir mujhe pyaar ke sāhil pe Thaharnā hogā

phir tire dil ke dhaḌakne kī sadā aa.ī hai

dar-o-dīvār pe kuchh aks utar aate haiñ

mere ghar meñ ajab andāz kī tanhā.ī hai

sirf phūloñ meñ nahīñ haiñ tere chehre ke rañg

māh-e-nau bhī tirī Thahrī huī añgḌā.ī hai

vo sabā sab jise āvāra kahā karte haiñ

tere āñchal kī mahak mere liye laa.ī hai

qahqaha-bār raho shola-e-ġham se na Daro

varna is shahr-e-hunar meñ baḌī rusvā.ī hai

mere lahje mein mere zaKHm ki gahrai hai

raushni raat ke aangan mein utar aai hai

phir mujhe pyar ke sahil pe Thaharna hoga

phir tere dil ke dhaDakne ki sada aai hai

dar-o-diwar pe kuchh aks utar aate hain

mere ghar mein ajab andaz ki tanhai hai

sirf phulon mein nahin hain tere chehre ke rang

mah-e-nau bhi teri Thahri hui angDai hai

wo saba sab jise aawara kaha karte hain

tere aanchal ki mahak mere liye lai hai

qahqaha-bar raho shola-e-gham se na Daro

warna is shahr-e-hunar mein baDi ruswai hai
