nāla-e-ġham sho.ala-asar chāhiye
chāk-e-dil ab tā-ba-jigar chāhiye
kitne mah-o-najm hue nazr-e-shab
ai ġham-e-dil ab to sahar chāhiye
manzileñ haiñ zer-e-kaf-e-pā magar
ik zarā azm-e-safar chāhiye
ā.ina-ḳhāne meñ hai darkār kyā
chāhiye ik sañg agar chāhiye
duur hai dil manzil-e-ġham se hanūz
ik ġhalat andāz-e-nazar chāhiye
tishnagi-e-lab kā taqāzā hai ab
baada ho yā zahr magar chāhiye
