KHuddariyon ke KHun ko arzan na kar sake

ḳhuddāriyoñ ke ḳhuun ko arzāñ na kar sake

ham apne jauharoñ ko numāyāñ na kar sake

ho kar ḳharāb-e-mai tire ġham to bhulā diye

lekin ġham-e-hayāt kā darmāñ na kar sake

TuuTā tilism-e-ahd-e-mohabbat kuchh is tarah

phir aarzū kī sham.a firozāñ na kar sake

har shai qarīb aa ke kashish apnī kho ga.ī

vo bhī ilāj-e-shauq-e-gurezāñ na kar sake

kis darja dil-shikan the mohabbat ke hādse

ham zindagī meñ phir koī armāñ na kar sake

māyūsiyoñ ne chhīn liye dil ke valvale

vo bhī nashāt-e-rūh kā sāmāñ na kar sake

KHuddariyon ke KHun ko arzan na kar sake

hum apne jauharon ko numayan na kar sake

ho kar KHarab-e-mai tere gham to bhula diye

lekin gham-e-hayat ka darman na kar sake

TuTa tilism-e-ahd-e-mohabbat kuchh is tarah

phir aarzu ki shama firozan na kar sake

har shai qarib aa ke kashish apni kho gai

wo bhi ilaj-e-shauq-e-gurezan na kar sake

kis darja dil-shikan the mohabbat ke hadse

hum zindagi mein phir koi arman na kar sake

mayusiyon ne chhin liye dil ke walwale

wo bhi nashat-e-ruh ka saman na kar sake
