sab sitāre dilāsa dete haiñ

chāñd rātoñ ko chīḳhtā hai bahut

sab sitare dilasa dete hain

chand raaton ko chiKHta hai bahut

kyā zarūrat hai mujh ko chehre kī

kaun chehre se jāntā hai mujhe

kya zarurat hai mujh ko chehre ki

kaun chehre se jaanta hai mujhe

ajiib ḳhvāb thā āñkhoñ meñ niiñd chhoḌ gayā

ki niiñd guzrī hai mujh ko zalīl karte hue

ajib KHwab tha aankhon mein nind chhoD gaya

ki nind guzri hai mujh ko zalil karte hue

jaane kis baat se dukhā hai bahut

dil ka.ī roz se ḳhafā hai bahut

jaane kis baat se dukha hai bahut

dil kai roz se KHafa hai bahut

marā huā maiñ vo kirdār huuñ kahānī kā

jo jī rahā hai kahānī tavīl karte hue

mara hua main wo kirdar hun kahani ka

jo ji raha hai kahani tawil karte hue
