aaj tak yaad hai vo shām-e-judā.ī kā samāñ

terī āvāz kī larzish tire lahje kī thakan

aaj tak yaad hai wo sham-e-judai ka saman

teri aawaz ki larzish tere lahje ki thakan

ek dard-e-hastī ne umr bhar rifāqat kī

varna saath detā hai kaun āḳhirī dam tak

ek dard-e-hasti ne umr bhar rifaqat ki

warna sath deta hai kaun aaKHiri dam tak

kuchh naqsh tirī yaad ke baaqī haiñ abhī tak

dil be-sar-o-sāmāñ sahī vīrāñ to nahīñ hai

kuchh naqsh teri yaad ke baqi hain abhi tak

dil be-sar-o-saman sahi viran to nahin hai

kyā kyā farāġhateñ thiiñ mayassar hayāt ko

vo din bhī the ki tere sivā koī ġham na thā

kya kya faraghaten thin mayassar hayat ko

wo din bhi the ki tere siwa koi gham na tha

tujh se mil ke bhī terā intizār rahtā hai

sub.h rū-e-ḳhandāñ se shaam zulf-e-barham tak

tujh se mil ke bhi tera intizar rahta hai

subh ru-e-KHandan se sham zulf-e-barham tak
