jadu thi sahr thi bala thi
jaadū thī sahr thī balā thī
zālim ye tirī nigāh kyā thī
kīdhar hai kahāñ hai ḳhush-dilī tū
ham se bhī kabhū tū āshnā thī
shīrīñ bhī tujhī sī thī sitamgar
lailā bhī agarche bevafā thī
farhād pe is qadar na thā zulm
majnūñ pe na ye ġhazab jafā thī
maarā hai 'bayāñ' ko jin ne ai shoḳh
kyā jāniye kaun sī adā thī
jadu thi sahr thi bala thi
zalim ye teri nigah kya thi
kidhar hai kahan hai KHush-dili tu
hum se bhi kabhu tu aashna thi
shirin bhi tujhi si thi sitamgar
laila bhi agarche bewafa thi
farhad pe is qadar na tha zulm
majnun pe na ye ghazab jafa thi
mara hai 'bayan' ko jin ne ai shoKH
kya jaaniye kaun si ada thi
