aaj ik aur baras biit gayā us ke baġhair
jis ke hote hue hote the zamāne mere
surḳh-rū hotā hai insāñ Thokareñ khāne ke ba.ad
rañg laatī hai hinā patthar pe pis jaane ke ba.ad
surKH-ru hota hai insan Thokaren khane ke baad
rang lati hai hina patthar pe pis jaane ke baad
ham ko ma.alūm hai jannat kī haqīqat lekin
dil ke ḳhush rakhne ko 'ġhālib' ye ḳhayāl achchhā hai
hum ko malum hai jannat ki haqiqat lekin
dil ke KHush rakhne ko 'ghaalib' ye KHayal achchha hai
aur bhī dukh haiñ zamāne meñ mohabbat ke sivā
rāhateñ aur bhī haiñ vasl kī rāhat ke sivā
sorrows other than love's longing does this life provide
comforts other than a lover's union too abide
aur bhi dukh hain zamane mein mohabbat ke siwa
rahaten aur bhi hain wasl ki rahat ke siwa
tū kahānī hī ke parde meñ bhalī lagtī hai
zindagī terī haqīqat nahīñ dekhī jaatī
tu kahani hi ke parde mein bhali lagti hai
zindagi teri haqiqat nahin dekhi jati
ye kyā tilism hai kyuuñ raat bhar sisaktā huuñ
vo kaun hai jo diyoñ meñ jalā rahā hai mujhe
ye kya tilism hai kyun raat bhar sisakta hun
wo kaun hai jo diyon mein jala raha hai mujhe
