ab jaañ se guzar jā ki taqāzā-e-junūñ hai

'pāshā' tirī ulfat pe use shak huā kaise

ab jaan se guzar ja ki taqaza-e-junun hai

'pasha' teri ulfat pe use shak hua kaise

kyā shahr-e-vafā mustaqar-e-bul-havasāñ hai

chehrā parī-chehroñ kā bhayānak huā kaise

kya shahr-e-wafa mustaqar-e-bul-hawasan hai

chehra pari-chehron ka bhayanak hua kaise

sheva to tirā sirf sitam thā sitam-ījād

iḳhlās-o-muravvat tirā maslak huā kaise

shewa to tera sirf sitam tha sitam-ijad

iKHlas-o-murawwat tera maslak hua kaise

is nagrī meñ 'pāshā' sāhab kis ko samjhāoge

har ik kī apnī Daflī har ik kā apnā raag

is nagri mein 'pasha' sahab kis ko samjhaoge

har ek ki apni Dafli har ek ka apna rag

vo ek shaḳhs jo mahfil meñ boltā thā bahut

sunā hai ahl-e-nazar se vo khokhlā thā bahut

wo ek shaKHs jo mahfil mein bolta tha bahut

suna hai ahl-e-nazar se wo khokhla tha bahut
