tū phuul kī mānind na shabnam kī tarah aa

ab ke kisī be-nām se mausam kī tarah aa

har martaba aatā hai mah-e-nau kī tarah tū

is baar zarā merī shab-e-ġham kī tarah aa

hal karne haiñ mujh ko ka.ī pechīda masā.il

ai jān-e-vafā gesu-e-pur-ḳham kī tarah aa

zaḳhmoñ ko gavārā nahīñ yak-rañgi-e-hālāt

nashtar kī tarah aa kabhī marham kī tarah aa

nazdīkī o duurī kī kashākash ko miTā de

is jañg meñ tū sulh ke parcham kī tarah aa

maanā ki mirā ghar tirī jannat to nahīñ hai

duniyā meñ mirī laġhzish-e-ādam kī tarah aa

tū kuchh to mire zabt-e-mohabbat kā sila de

hañgām-e-fanā dīda-e-pur-nam kī tarah aa
