mujh ko auroñ se kuchh nahīñ hai kaam

tujh se har dam umīd-vārī hai

mujh ko auron se kuchh nahin hai kaam

tujh se har dam umid-wari hai

raat din tū rahe raqībāñ-sañg

dekhnā terā mujh muhāl huā

raat din tu rahe raqiban-sang

dekhna tera mujh muhaal hua

vo tamāshā o khel holī kā

sab ke tan raḳht-e-kesarī hai yaad

wo tamasha o khel holi ka

sab ke tan raKHt-e-kesari hai yaad

guḌ siiñ mīThā hai bosa tujh lab kā

is jalebī meñ qand o shakkar hai

guD sin miTha hai bosa tujh lab ka

is jalebi mein qand o shakkar hai

husn be-sāḳhta bhātā hai mujhe

surma añkhiyāñ meñ lagāyā na karo

husn be-saKHta bhata hai mujhe

surma ankhiyan mein lagaya na karo
