yādeñ chaleñ ḳhayāl chalā ashk-e-tar chale

le kar payām-e-shauq ka.ī nāma-bar chale

dil ko sambhālte rahe har hādse ye ham

ab kyā kareñ ki ḳhud tire gesū bikhar chale

har gaam par shikast ne yuuñ hausla diyā

jis tarah saath saath koī ham-safar chale

shauq-e-talab na ho koī bāñg-e-jaras to ho

āḳhir koī chale to kis ummīd par chale

ab kyā karoge sair-e-saman-zār-e-ārzū

rut jā chukī chaḌhe hue dariyā utar chale

rāhoñ meñ 'hosh' sañg baraste haiñ har taraf

le kar ye kārvān-e-tamannā kidhar chale
