ḳhūn-e-dil hotā rahā ḳhūn-e-jigar hotā rahā
ye tamāshā ishq meñ shām-o-sahar hotā rahā
is jahān-e-āb-o-gil meñ yuuñ basar hotī rahī
muskurāte bhī rahe dāman bhī tar hotā rahā
ārzuoñ ko taḌap kar niiñd sī aatī ga.ī
qissa-e-bīmār-e-ġham yuuñ muḳhtasar hotā rahā
in kī bātoñ par yaqīñ ham umar bhar karte rahe
intizār-e-shām-e-va.ada umr bhar hotā rahā
talḳhi-e-ġham se na pal bhar ke liye fursat milī
umr bhar go chāra-e-dard-e-jigar hotā rahā
