aayā thā pichhlī raat dabe paañv mere ghar

pāzeb kī ragoñ meñ jhanak chhoḌ kar gayā

aaya tha pichhli raat dabe panw mere ghar

pazeb ki ragon mein jhanak chhoD kar gaya

adā huā na kabhī mujh se ek sajda-e-shukr

maiñ kis zabāñ se karūñgā shikāyateñ terī

ada hua na kabhi mujh se ek sajda-e-shukr

main kis zaban se karunga shikayaten teri

is ne dekhā hai sar-e-bazm sitamgar kī tarah

phuul pheñkā bhī mirī samt to patthar kī tarah

is ne dekha hai sar-e-bazm sitamgar ki tarah

phul phenka bhi meri samt to patthar ki tarah

koī purānā ḳhat kuchh bhūlī-bisrī yaad

zaḳhmoñ par vo lamhe marham hote haiñ

koi purana KHat kuchh bhuli-bisri yaad

zaKHmon par wo lamhe marham hote hain

sar-e-rāh mil ke bichhaḌ ga.e thā bas ek pal kā vo hādsa

mire sehn-e-dil meñ muqīm hai vahī ek lamha azaab kā

sar-e-rah mil ke bichhaD gae tha bas ek pal ka wo hadsa

mere sehn-e-dil mein muqim hai wahi ek lamha azab ka
