chāhiye kyā tumheñ tohfe meñ batā do varna

ham to bāzār ke bāzār uThā lā.eñge

chahiye kya tumhein tohfe mein bata do warna

hum to bazar ke bazar uTha laenge

yuuñ mohabbat se na ham ḳhāna-ba-doshoñ ko bulā

itne saada haiñ ki ghar-bār uThā lā.eñge

yun mohabbat se na hum KHana-ba-doshon ko bula

itne sada hain ki ghar-bar uTha laenge

haañ tujhe bhī to mayassar nahīñ tujh sā koī

hai tirā arsh bhī vīrāñ mire pahlū kī tarah

han tujhe bhi to mayassar nahin tujh sa koi

hai tera arsh bhi viran mere pahlu ki tarah

tarāsh aur bhī apne tasavvur-e-rab ko

tire ḳhudā se to behtar mirā sanam hai abhī

tarash aur bhi apne tasawwur-e-rab ko

tere KHuda se to behtar mera sanam hai abhi

tūfān-e-bahr ḳhaak Darātā mujhe 'turāb'

us se baḌā bhañvar to safīne ke biich thā

tufan-e-bahr KHak Daraata mujhe 'turab'

us se baDa bhanwar to safine ke bich tha
