aaj to aise bijlī chamkī bārish aa.ī khiḌkī bhīgī

jaise bādal khīñch rahā ho mere ashkoñ kī tasvīreñ

aaj to aise bijli chamki barish aai khiDki bhigi

jaise baadal khinch raha ho mere ashkon ki taswiren

bas ek pyaar ne sālim rakhā hameñ yaaro

raqīb mar ga.e ham meñ shigāf karte hue

bas ek pyar ne salim rakha hamein yaro

raqib mar gae hum mein shigaf karte hue

ḳhaak huuñ uḌtā huuñ sach hai ki maiñ āvāra-mizāj

paanī hotā bhī to sailāb meñ dekhā jaatā

KHak hun uDta hun sach hai ki main aawara-mizaj

pani hota bhi to sailab mein dekha jata

kitnī bhī pyārī ho har ik shai se jī uktā jaatā hai

vaqt ke saath to chamkīle zevar bhī kaale paḌ jaate haiñ

kitni bhi pyari ho har ek shai se ji ukta jata hai

waqt ke sath to chamkile zewar bhi kale paD jate hain

use manāne meñ ham ne gañvā diyā us ko

ki shīsha TuuT gayā dhuul saaf karte hue

use manane mein hum ne ganwa diya us ko

ki shisha TuT gaya dhul saf karte hue
