aah jo dil se nikālī jā.egī
kyā samajhte ho ki ḳhālī jā.egī
those sighs that emerge from this heart so fiiled with pain
do you truly think unanswered these will now remain?
aah jo dil se nikali jaegi
kya samajhte ho ki KHali jaegi

aadat ke ba.ad dard bhī dene lagā mazā
hañs hañs ke aah aah kiye jā rahā huuñ maiñ
aadat ke baad dard bhi dene laga maza
hans hans ke aah aah kiye ja raha hun main
dard-e-dil kitnā pasand aayā use
maiñ ne jab kī aah us ne vaah kī
dard-e-dil kitna pasand aaya use
main ne jab ki aah us ne wah ki
