sho.ale bhaḌkāo dekhte kyā ho

jal uThe ghaav dekhte kyā ho

ġharq-e-ḳhūnāb hone vaalī hai

dard kī naav dekhte kyā ho

dil kisī yaad ne chhuā hogā

aage baḌh jaao dekhte kyā ho

anjum-e-charḳh-e-fikr-e-ādam kā

chal gayā daav dekhte kyā ho

piye baiThe haiñ zahr-e-daurāñ ham

jaam uThvāo dekhte kyā ho

husn se lo nazar kī bhiik 'aḳhtar'

haath phailāo dekhte kyā ho
