ye māyūsī kahīñ vaj.h-e-sukūn-e-dil na ban jaa.e
ġham-e-be-hāsilī hī ishq kā hāsil na ban jaa.e
madad ai jazb-e-dil rāh-e-mohabbat saḳht mushkil hai
ḳhayāl-e-dūri-e-manzil kahīñ manzil na ban jaa.e
nahīñ hai dil to kyā pahlū meñ halkī sī ḳhalish to hai
ye halkī sī ḳhalish hī rafta rafta dil na ban jaa.e
hujūm-e-shauq aur rāh-e-mohabbat kī balā-ḳhezī
kahīñ pahlā qadam hī āḳhirī manzil na ban jaa.e
