zabt-e-gham mushkil hai aur mushkil hai mushkil ka jawab

zabt-e-ġham mushkil hai aur mushkil hai mushkil kā javāb

nāseh-e-mushfiq tire bas kā nahīñ dil kā javāb

aa.ine meñ dekhte haiñ husn-e-kāmil kā javāb

koī pūchhe kyā vo deñge jazba-e-dil kā javāb

alvidā.a kah kar jo dete haiñ mire dil kā javāb

aa paḌī mushkil ki kyā ho aisī mushkil kā javāb

ḳhāk-e-parvāna ho shāyad zabt-e-kāmil kā javāb

sham.a ho saktī hai kab mere bujhe dil kā javāb

ai mire jazb-e-mohabbat terī ye be-tābiyāñ

aur ḳhamoshī hī ḳhamoshī jān-e-mahfil kā javāb

ik savāl-e-shauq par us ne hameñ ghāyal kiyā

hashr ke din dekhnā hai kyā ho qātil kā javāb

naġhmagī inkār kī bhī hai surūr-afzā magar

ab kahāñ hai lan-tarānī husn-e-kāmil kā javāb

un se āñkheñ chaar kar ke 'tāj' maiñ khoyā gayā

ik bharī mahfil meñ be-ḳhud kar gayā dil kā javāb
