ab is maqām pe laa.ī hai zindagī mujh ko

ki chāhtā huuñ tujhe bhī bhulā diyā jaa.e

ab is maqam pe lai hai zindagi mujh ko

ki chahta hun tujhe bhi bhula diya jae

jaltā rahā huuñ ziist ke dozaḳh meñ umr bhar

ye aur baat hai mirī koī ḳhatā nahīñ

jalta raha hun zist ke dozaKH mein umr bhar

ye aur baat hai meri koi KHata nahin

jī rahā huuñ kuchh is tarah jaise

aag lag jaa.e aur ho na dhuāñ

ji raha hun kuchh is tarah jaise

aag lag jae aur ho na dhuan

mujhe bhī yuuñ to baḌī aarzū hai jiine kī

magar savāl ye hai kis tarah jiyā jaa.e

mujhe bhi yun to baDi aarzu hai jine ki

magar sawal ye hai kis tarah jiya jae

tū mirī baat kā javāb na de

maiñ samajhtā huuñ ḳhāmushī kī zabāñ

tu meri baat ka jawab na de

main samajhta hun KHamushi ki zaban
