Dūbne vaalā thā din shaam thī hone vaalī

yuuñ lagā mirī koī chiiz thī khone vaalī

Dubne wala tha din sham thi hone wali

yun laga meri koi chiz thi khone wali

jam.a kartī hai mujhe raat bahut mushkil se

sub.h ko ghar se nikalte hī bikharne ke liye

jama karti hai mujhe raat bahut mushkil se

subh ko ghar se nikalte hi bikharne ke liye

ḳhud banā letā huuñ maiñ apnī udāsī kā sabab

DhūñD hī letī hai 'shāhīñ' mujh ko vīrānī mirī

KHud bana leta hun main apni udasi ka sabab

DhunD hi leti hai 'shahin' mujh ko virani meri

ajnabī būd-o-bāsh ke qurb-o-javār meñ milā

bichhḌā to vo mujhe kisī aur dayār meñ milā

ajnabi bud-o-bash ke qurb-o-jawar mein mila

bichhDa to wo mujhe kisi aur dayar mein mila

kuchh zamāne kī ravish ne saḳht mujh ko kar diyā

aur kuchh bedard maiñ us ko bhulāne se huā

kuchh zamane ki rawish ne saKHt mujh ko kar diya

aur kuchh bedard main us ko bhulane se hua
