tu urus-e-sham-e-KHayal bhi tu jamal-e-ru-e-e-sahar bhi hai

tū urūs-e-shām-e-ḳhayāl bhī tū jamāl-e-rū-e-e-sahar bhī hai

ye zarūr hai ki ba-īñ-hama mirā ehtimām-e-nazar bhī hai

ye mirā nasīb hai ham-nashīñ sar-e-rāh bhī na mile kahīñ

vahī merā jāda-e-justujū vahī un kī rāhguzar bhī hai

hama kashmakash mirī zindagī kabhī aa ke dekh ye bebasī

tirī yaad vaj.h-e-sukūñ sahī vahī rāz-e-dīda-e-tar bhī hai

tire qurb ne jo baḌhā diye kabhī miT sake na vo fāsle

vahī paañv haiñ vahī aable vahī apnā zauq-e-safar bhī hai

ba-hazār dānish-o-āgahī mirī maslahat hai abhī yahī

maiñ asīr-e-zulmat-e-shab sahī mirī dastaras meñ sahar bhī hai

tu urus-e-sham-e-KHayal bhi tu jamal-e-ru-e-e-sahar bhi hai

ye zarur hai ki ba-in-hama mera ehtimam-e-nazar bhi hai

ye mera nasib hai ham-nashin sar-e-rah bhi na mile kahin

wahi mera jada-e-justuju wahi un ki rahguzar bhi hai

hama kashmakash meri zindagi kabhi aa ke dekh ye bebasi

teri yaad wajh-e-sukun sahi wahi raaz-e-dida-e-tar bhi hai

tere qurb ne jo baDha diye kabhi miT sake na wo fasle

wahi panw hain wahi aable wahi apna zauq-e-safar bhi hai

ba-hazar danish-o-agahi meri maslahat hai abhi yahi

main asir-e-zulmat-e-shab sahi meri dastaras mein sahar bhi hai
