le kar añgḌā.ī uThī jab nigah-e-husn-e-talab

zarre zarre meñ unheñ anjuman-ārā dekhā

le kar angDai uThi jab nigah-e-husn-e-talab

zarre zarre mein unhen anjuman-ara dekha

aao ġham-e-pursish kyā maiñ shikve se baaz aaya

tum chaar qadam pīchhe kyoñ ho saf-e-mehshar se

aao gham-e-pursish kya main shikwe se baz aaya

tum chaar qadam pichhe kyon ho saf-e-mehshar se

sar-e-jamshed ko ḳhisht-e-ḳhum-e-sahbā se Takrā deñ

gadā-e-mai-kada bhī kis qadar maġhrūr hote haiñ

sar-e-jamshed ko KHisht-e-KHum-e-sahba se Takra den

gada-e-mai-kada bhi kis qadar maghrur hote hain

aao ġham-e-pursish kyā maiñ shikve se baaz aaya

tum chaar qadam pīchhe kyoñ ho saf-e-mehshar se

aao gham-e-pursish kya main shikwe se baz aaya

tum chaar qadam pichhe kyon ho saf-e-mehshar se

bachā sakeñge na ye naġhma-hā-e-chang-o-rabāb

sipar uThā ki tū maidān-e-kār-zār meñ hai

bacha sakenge na ye naghma-ha-e-chang-o-rabab

sipar uTha ki tu maidan-e-kar-zar mein hai

nigāh-e-husn se azal jau kauñdī thī

vo barq dekh mire sāġhar-e-sharāb meñ hai

nigah-e-husn se azal jau kaundi thi

wo barq dekh mere saghar-e-sharab mein hai

namāz kyā laġhzish-e-qadam bhī hai mustajāb us kī bārgah meñ

agar mayassar huzūr-e-dil ho gunāh bhī be-vuzū na karnā

namaz kya laghzish-e-qadam bhi hai mustajab us ki bargah mein

agar mayassar huzur-e-dil ho gunah bhi be-wuzu na karna

mātam na kyoñ karūñ dil-e-sāhil-nasīb kā

is bahr-e-zindagī meñ talātum hayāt hai

matam na kyon karun dil-e-sahil-nasib ka

is bahr-e-zindagi mein talatum hayat hai

tū gulshan-e-hayāt se nasīm kī tarah guzar

fareb-e-ḳhār-o-ḳhas na khā asīr-e-rang-o-bū na ho

tu gulshan-e-hayat se nasim ki tarah guzar

fareb-e-KHar-o-KHas na kha asir-e-rang-o-bu na ho
