koī jhankār hai naġhma hai sadā hai kyā hai

tū kiran hai ke kalī hai ke sabā hai kyā hai

terī āñkhoñ meñ ka.ī rañg jhalakte dekhe

sādgī hai ki jhijhak hai ki hayā hai kyā hai

ruuh kī pyaas bujhā dī hai tirī qurbat ne

tū koī jhiil hai jharnā hai ghaTā hai kyā hai

naam hoñToñ pe tirā aa.e to rāhat sī mile

tū tasallī hai dilāsa hai duā hai kyā hai

hosh meñ lā ke mire hosh uḌāne vaale

ye tirā naaz hai shoḳhī hai adā hai kyā hai

dil ḳhatāvār-e-nazar pārsā tasvīr-e-anā

vo bashar hai ki farishta hai ki ḳhudā hai kyā hai

ban ga.ī naqsh jo surḳhī tire afsāne kī

vo shafaq hai ki dhanak hai ki hinā hai kyā hai
