us dilruba sanam ka jab se kiya nazara

us dilrubā sanam kā jab se kiyā nazārā

āñkheñ dikhā ke us ne be-maut mujh ko maarā

kuchh bas chalā na apnā be-sāḳhta pukārā

dil mīr-o-duzd-e-sitam sāheb-dilāñ ḳhudā-rā

dar vā ki rāz-e-pinhāñ ḳhvāhad shud āshkārā

nāseh nahīñ mirā dil kā'ba kā ārzū-mand

badnām-e-'āshiqī huuñ detā hai kyuuñ mujhe pand

bazm-e-butāñ kā jaanā mumkin nahīñ ki ho band

dar kū-e-nek-nāmī mā rā guzar na dādand

gar tū ne pasandī taġh.īr kun qazā rā

dariyā-e-'āshiqī hai aafat kā mauj añgez

aur raat hai añdherī mallāh ko hai parhez

tūfān ne kar diyā hai jām-e-hayāt-e-labrez

kashtī shikastgānem ai baad bād-e-shurt barḳhez

bāshad ki baaz bīnam aañ yaar āshnā rā

us dilruba sanam ka jab se kiya nazara

aankhen dikha ke us ne be-maut mujh ko mara

kuchh bas chala na apna be-saKHta pukara

dil mir-o-duzd-e-sitam saheb-dilan KHuda-ra

dar wa ki raaz-e-pinhan KHwahad shud aashkara

naseh nahin mera dil ka'ba ka aarzu-mand

badnam-e-'ashiqi hun deta hai kyun mujhe pand

bazm-e-butan ka jaana mumkin nahin ki ho band

dar ku-e-nek-nami ma ra guzar na dadand

gar tu ne pasandi taghir kun qaza ra

dariya-e-'ashiqi hai aafat ka mauj angez

aur raat hai andheri mallah ko hai parhez

tufan ne kar diya hai jam-e-hayat-e-labrez

kashti shikastganem ai baad baad-e-shurt barKHez

bashad ki baz binam aan yar aashna ra
