bijlī chamkī to abr royā

yaad aa ga.ī kyā hañsī kisī kī

bijli chamki to abr roya

yaad aa gai kya hansi kisi ki

apne sivā nahīñ hai koī apnā āshnā

dariyā kī tarah aap haiñ apne kanār meñ

apne siwa nahin hai koi apna aashna

dariya ki tarah aap hain apne kanar mein

na hogā koī mujh sā mahv-e-tasavvur

jise dekhtā huuñ samajhtā huuñ tū hai

na hoga koi mujh sa mahw-e-tasawwur

jise dekhta hun samajhta hun tu hai

ai junūñ haath jo vo zulf na aa.ī hotī

aah ne arsh kī zanjīr hilā.ī hotī

ai junun hath jo wo zulf na aai hoti

aah ne arsh ki zanjir hilai hoti

nahīñ bachtā hai bīmār-e-mohabbat

sunā hai ham ne 'goyā' kī zabānī

nahin bachta hai bimar-e-mohabbat

suna hai hum ne 'goya' ki zabani
