ghar palaT kar jo mirī raushan-ḳhayālī aa.ī hai

shor hai shahr-e-suḳhan meñ phir divālī aa.ī hai

ghar palaT kar jo meri raushan-KHayali aai hai

shor hai shahr-e-suKHan mein phir diwali aai hai

gard ā.inoñ kī chāroñ taraf hai jamī huī

'ālam 'ajīb shīsha-garī kī dukān hai

gard aainon ki chaaron taraf hai jami hui

'alam 'ajib shisha-gari ki dukan hai

isī kafan se na Dhak jaa.e saarā shahr kahīñ

mirā janāza parinde uThā.e phirte haiñ

isi kafan se na Dhak jae sara shahr kahin

mera janaza parinde uThae phirte hain

jo mere banñe se pahle ik intizār banā

us intizār ke andar maiñ baar baar banā

jo mere banne se pahle ek intizar bana

us intizar ke andar main bar bar bana

sang par sang ragaḌne se huā jo paidā

usī āhang ne raqs-e-sharar ījād kiyā

sang par sang ragaDne se hua jo paida

usi aahang ne raqs-e-sharar ijad kiya
