jaane vaale tujhe kab dekh sakūñ bār-e-digar

raushnī aañkh kī bah jā.egī aañsū ban kar

tū hissar-e-dar-o-dīvār liye jaa.e kidhar

merā kyā hai ki maiñ huuñ dasht-ba-dil ḳhāna ba-sar

kaun jaane mirī tanhā.ī-pasandī kyā hai

bas tire zikr kā andesha tire naam kā Dar

yuuñ bhī ashkoñ kā dhundalkā thā sujhā.ī na diyā

kis ne luuTā dam-e-ruḳhsat sar-o-sāmān-e-safar

kis ne dekhā hai mirā shahr-e-ḳhamoshān-e-hayāt

dil kī vaadī se guzarnā hai to āhista guzar

ro rahā huuñ ki tire saath hañsā thā barsoñ

hañs rahā huuñ ki koī dekh na le dīda-e-tar

ye mirī zaḳhm-e-nasībī ye tirī hairānī

maiñ ne tere hī ishāra pe to Daalī thī sipar

TuuT jā.egā nasha dekh koī naam na le

aañkh bhar aa.egī is tarah mirā jaam na bhar

koī gum-gashta har āġhāz-e-safar se pahle

chuum letā hai tirī yaad kā bhārī patthar

maiñ ne har raat yahī soch ke aañsū poñchhe

muñh dikhānā bhī hai duniyā ko ba-hañgām-e-sahar

'shāz' ko sabr atā kar ke baḌā kaam kiyā

us ne kyā māñgā thā kyā paayā hai ai rabb-e-hunar
