zahe qismat pasand-e-KHatir-e-mushkil pasand aaya

zahe qismat pasand-e-ḳhātir-e-mushkil pasand aayā

azal se chhāñT kar laa.e the ham jo dil pasand aayā

nikal kar aañkh se aañsū ruke haiñ nok-e-mizhgāñ par

ki laḌkoñ ko tamāshā-e-lab-e-sāhil pasand aayā

huī hai teġh kund us kī ba-qaul-e-hazrat-e-'ġhālib'

tamāshā-e-ba-ḳhūñ ġhaltīdan-e-bismil pasand aayā

zahe qismat pasand-e-KHatir-e-mushkil pasand aaya

azal se chhanT kar lae the hum jo dil pasand aaya

nikal kar aankh se aansu ruke hain nok-e-mizhgan par

ki laDkon ko tamasha-e-lab-e-sahil pasand aaya

hui hai tegh kund us ki ba-qaul-e-hazrat-e-'ghaalib'

tamasha-e-ba-KHun ghaltidan-e-bismil pasand aaya
