na diya us kun ya diya qasid

na diyā us kuuñ yā diyā qāsid

sach batā naama kyā kiyā qāsid

na phirā aah koī le ke javāb

jo gayā vaañ so gum huā qāsid

aaj āvegā yā na āvegā

mere ghar meñ vo dil-rubā qāsid

dil ko hai saḳht intizār-e-javāb

kah shitābī se kyā kahā qāsid

kūcha-e-yār meñ mire zinhār

jā.iyo mat barahna-pā qāsid

ḳhār-e-mizhgān-e-kushtagān-e-vafā

vaañ haiñ uftāda jā-ba-jā qāsid

nāma-e-shauq ko mire le kar

yaar ke paas jab gayā qāsid

mohr ko ḳhat kī dekh kahne lagā

kaun 'bedār' hai batā qāsid

jis ne bhejā hai tere haath ye ḳhat

maiñ nahīñ us se āshnā qāsid

na diya us kun ya diya qasid

sach bata nama kya kiya qasid

na phira aah koi le ke jawab

jo gaya wan so gum hua qasid

aaj aawega ya na aawega

mere ghar mein wo dil-ruba qasid

dil ko hai saKHt intizar-e-jawab

kah shitabi se kya kaha qasid

kucha-e-yar mein mere zinhaar

jaiyo mat barahna-pa qasid

KHar-e-mizhgan-e-kushtagan-e-wafa

wan hain uftada ja-ba-ja qasid

nama-e-shauq ko mere le kar

yar ke pas jab gaya qasid

mohr ko KHat ki dekh kahne laga

kaun 'bedar' hai bata qasid

jis ne bheja hai tere hath ye KHat

main nahin us se aashna qasid
