hai tā-hadd-e-imkāñ koī bastī na bayābāñ

āñkhoñ meñ koī ḳhvāb dikhā.ī nahīñ detā

hai ta-hadd-e-imkan koi basti na bayaban

aankhon mein koi KHwab dikhai nahin deta

ik chāñd hai āvāra-o-betāb o falak-tāb

ik chāñd hai āsūdgī-e-hijr kā maarā

ek chand hai aawara-o-betab o falak-tab

ek chand hai aasudgi-e-hijr ka mara

lazzat-e-dīd ḳhudā jaane kahāñ le jaa.e

aañkh hotī hai to hotā nahīñ qaabū dil par

lazzat-e-did KHuda jaane kahan le jae

aankh hoti hai to hota nahin qabu dil par

kisī se ishq ho jaane ko afsāna nahīñ kahte

ki afsāne mata-e-kūcha-o-bāzār hote haiñ

kisi se ishq ho jaane ko afsana nahin kahte

ki afsane mata-e-kucha-o-bazar hote hain

jise nā-ḳhvāb kahte haiñ usī ko ḳhvāb kahte haiñ

tamīz-e-ḳhair-o-shar meñ nukta-e-sad-motabar kyā hai

jise na-KHwab kahte hain usi ko KHwab kahte hain

tamiz-e-KHair-o-shar mein nukta-e-sad-motabar kya hai
