kuchh aur de na paa.e zamāne ko ham 'hilāl'

paiġhām-e-amn deñge isī shā.erī se ham

kuchh aur de na pae zamane ko hum 'hilal'

paigham-e-amn denge isi shaeri se hum

ġharīb shaḳhs ko miltā nahīñ kisī bhī tarah

ye ishq ho gayā sarkārī naukrī kī tarah

gharib shaKHs ko milta nahin kisi bhi tarah

ye ishq ho gaya sarkari naukri ki tarah

jab chhuā hogā us ne phūloñ ko

hosh ḳhushbū ke uḌ ga.e hoñge

jab chhua hoga us ne phulon ko

hosh KHushbu ke uD gae honge

tum ne jo mere dil ko pareshān kiyā hai

ye ghar to tumhārā thā jo vīrān kiyā hai

tum ne jo mere dil ko pareshan kiya hai

ye ghar to tumhaara tha jo viran kiya hai

kahne pe tere maañ ko bhalā kaise chhoḌ duuñ

tū aisā kar ki dūsrā shauhar talāsh kar

kahne pe tere man ko bhala kaise chhoD dun

tu aisa kar ki dusra shauhar talash kar
