aaj ik aur baras biit gayā us ke baġhair
jis ke hote hue hote the zamāne mere
nāla-e-bulbul-e-shaidā to sunā hañs hañs kar
ab jigar thaam ke baiTho mirī baarī aa.ī
nala-e-bulbul-e-shaida to suna hans hans kar
ab jigar tham ke baiTho meri bari aai
tar-dāmanī pe shaiḳh hamārī na jā.iyo
dāman nichoḌ deñ to farishte vazū kareñ
do not be deceived by it damp disposition
if I wring my cloak, angels will do ablution
tar-damani pe shaiKH hamari na jaiyo
daman nichoD den to farishte wazu karen
mat sahl hameñ jaano phirtā hai falak barsoñ
tab ḳhaak ke parde se insān nikalte haiñ
mat sahl hamein jaano phirta hai falak barson
tab KHak ke parde se insan nikalte hain
sair kar duniyā kī ġhāfil zindagānī phir kahāñ
zindagī gar kuchh rahī to ye javānī phir kahāñ
sair kar duniya ki ghafil zindagani phir kahan
zindagi gar kuchh rahi to ye jawani phir kahan
vo aks ban ke mirī chashm-e-tar meñ rahtā hai
ajiib shaḳhs hai paanī ke ghar meñ rahtā hai
wo aks ban ke meri chashm-e-tar mein rahta hai
ajib shaKHs hai pani ke ghar mein rahta hai
