aah ai saudā-e-ḳhām-e-ārzū
tā-ba-kai āḳhir nizām-e-ārzū
zabt-e-āh-e-dil-shikan aur maiñ hazīñ
kar rahā huuñ ehtirām-e-ārzū
hoshiyār ai infi.āl-e-kaif-zā
husn tak pahuñchā payām-e-ārzū
chashm-e-lutf-āgīñ na.e andāz se
le rahī hai intiqām-e-ārzū
ahl-e-dil zinda haiñ kis ummīd par
nazm-e-duniyā hai nizām-e-ārzū
yaas kī gunjā.isheñ kis dil meñ haiñ
le rahā hai kaun nām-e-ārzū
bazm-e-anjum jab sarāpā-gosh thī
kaash tum sunte payām-e-ārzū
aah ab ḳhuddārī-e-akbar kahāñ
ho ga.ī vo bhī ġhulām-e-ārzū
