dekh jurm-o-sazā kī baat na kar

mai-kade meñ ḳhudā kī baat na kar

maiñ to be-mehriyoñ kā aadī huuñ

mujh se mehr-o-vafā kī baat na kar

shauq-e-be-mudda.ā kā maarā huuñ

shauq-e-be-mudda.ā kī baat na kar

vo to muddat huī ki TuuT gayā

mere dast-e-duā kī baat na kar

jo nahīñ iḳhtiyār meñ mere

us but be-vafā kī baat na kar

ishq kī intihā ko dekh zarā

ishq kī ibtidā kī baat na kar

kyā milā fikr kī rasā.ī se

merī fikr-e-rasā kī baat na kar

is kī taqdīr meñ ḳharābī thī

is dil-e-mubtalā kī baat na kar

jo bhī honā thā ho gayā 'sho.ala'

karam-e-nāḳhudā kī baat na kar
