mirī dāstāñ bhī ajiib hai vo qadam qadam mire saath thā

jise rāz-e-dil na batā sakā jise dāġh-e-dil na dikhā sakā

meri dastan bhi ajib hai wo qadam qadam mere sath tha

jise raaz-e-dil na bata saka jise dagh-e-dil na dikha saka

ham ḳhud bhī hue nādim jab harf-e-duā niklā

samjhe the jise patthar vo shaḳhs ḳhudā niklā

hum KHud bhi hue nadim jab harf-e-dua nikla

samjhe the jise patthar wo shaKHs KHuda nikla

paanī pe bante aks kī mānind huuñ magar

āñkhoñ meñ koī bhar le to miTtā nahīñ huuñ maiñ

pani pe bante aks ki manind hun magar

aankhon mein koi bhar le to miTta nahin hun main

us ajnabī se vāsta zarūr thā koī

vo jab kabhī milā to bas mirā lagā mujhe

us ajnabi se wasta zarur tha koi

wo jab kabhi mila to bas mera laga mujhe

aaj na ham se pūchhiye kaisā kamāl ho gayā

hijr ke ḳhauf meñ rahe aur visāl ho gayā

aaj na hum se puchhiye kaisa kamal ho gaya

hijr ke KHauf mein rahe aur visal ho gaya
