apne hone kā kuchh ehsās na hone se huā

ḳhud se milnā mirā ik shaḳhs ke khone se huā

apne hone ka kuchh ehsas na hone se hua

KHud se milna mera ek shaKHs ke khone se hua

vo sardiyoñ kī dhuup kī tarah ġhurūb ho gayā

lipaT rahī hai yaad jism se lihāf kī tarah

wo sardiyon ki dhup ki tarah ghurub ho gaya

lipaT rahi hai yaad jism se lihaf ki tarah

sajnī kī āñkhoñ meñ chhup kar jab jhāñkā

bin holī khele hī sājan bhiig gayā

sajni ki aankhon mein chhup kar jab jhanka

bin holi khele hi sajan bhig gaya

ḳhatm hone de mire saath hī apnā bhī vajūd

tū bhī ik naqsh ḳharābe kā hai mar jā mujh meñ

KHatm hone de mere sath hi apna bhi wajud

tu bhi ek naqsh KHarabe ka hai mar ja mujh mein

isī umiid pe jaltī haiñ dasht dasht āñhkeñ

kabhī to aa.egā umr-e-ḳharāb kaaT ke vo

isi umid pe jalti hain dasht dasht aanhken

kabhi to aaega umr-e-KHarab kaT ke wo
