ḳhvāhisheñ aa.iiñ añdheroñ kī sī fitrat oḌhe
phir ġham aayā chaḌhtī rātoñ kī sī ḳhaslat oḌhe

yaar maanā thā use ham ne mohabbat kī thī
vo magar aayā raqīboñ kī sī zulmat oḌhe

baaġh ye ahl-e-chaman ne hī ujāḌā āḳhir
ab manāzir hai bayābāñ kī sī vahshat oḌhe

par nikalte hī parinda ghoñsle ko bhūlā
uḌ gayā duur vo manzil kī sī chāhat oḌhe

yaad meñ rah bhī ga.ī hai to vo tanhā rāteñ
umr guzrī hai ye marghaT kī sī ḳhalvat oḌhe

tere dar pe ek arse se are o kānhā
ruuh barpā hai ye miirā kī sī hasrat oḌhe

KHwahishen aain andheron ki si fitrat oDhe
phir gham aaya chaDhti raaton ki si KHaslat oDhe

yar mana tha use hum ne mohabbat ki thi
wo magar aaya raqibon ki si zulmat oDhe

bagh ye ahl-e-chaman ne hi ujaDa aaKHir
ab manazir hai bayaban ki si wahshat oDhe

par nikalte hi parinda ghonsle ko bhula
uD gaya dur wo manzil ki si chahat oDhe

yaad mein rah bhi gai hai to wo tanha raaten
umr guzri hai ye marghaT ki si KHalwat oDhe

tere dar pe ek arse se are o kanha
ruh barpa hai ye mera ki si hasrat oDhe
