ham pe ye raaz khulā bhī to bahut der ke baa'd

asl kirdār kahānī meñ kisī aur kā hai

hum pe ye raaz khula bhi to bahut der ke ba'd

asl kirdar kahani mein kisi aur ka hai

paḌe haiñ phīke ye chāñd taare bhī is ke aage

kahāñ se laa.ī ho tum ye husn-o-jamāl laḌkī

paDe hain phike ye chand tare bhi is ke aage

kahan se lai ho tum ye husn-o-jamal laDki

us kā ham se baat karnā yaad karnā pyaar karnā

ik ġhalat-fahmī thī jo ab duur hotī jā rahī hai

us ka hum se baat karna yaad karna pyar karna

ek ghalat-fahmi thi jo ab dur hoti ja rahi hai

bulandiyoñ par zarā takabbur se duur rahnā

vagarna ye hī banegā vaj.h-e-zavāl laḌkī

bulandiyon par zara takabbur se dur rahna

wagarna ye hi banega wajh-e-zawal laDki

milā hai husn to is par ġhurūr itnā nahīñ achchhā

milā detā hai miTTī meñ ḳhudā maġhrūr chehroñ ko

mila hai husn to is par ghurur itna nahin achchha

mila deta hai miTTi mein KHuda maghrur chehron ko
