aaThon pahr lahu mein nahaya kare koi

āThoñ pahr lahū meñ nahāyā kare koī

yuuñ bhī na apne dard ko dariyā kare koī

aḌ jā.egī fasīl-e-shab-e-jabr toḌ kar

qaidī nahīñ havā jise andhā kare koī

dil taḳhta-e-gulāb bhī ātish-fishāñ bhī hai

is rah-guzar se roz na guzrā kare koī

oḌhī hai us ne sard ḳhamoshī misāl-e-sañg

lafzoñ ke ābshār girāyā kare koī

paanī kī tarah phail ga.ī ghar meñ shām-e-hijr

tā-sub.h Duub Duub ke ubhrā kare koī

maiñ huuñ kisī sadā ke shikanje meñ 'ja.afarī'

merā patā havāoñ se pūchhā kare koī

aaThon pahr lahu mein nahaya kare koi

yun bhi na apne dard ko dariya kare koi

aD jaegi fasil-e-shab-e-jabr toD kar

qaidi nahin hawa jise andha kare koi

dil taKHta-e-gulab bhi aatish-fishan bhi hai

is rah-guzar se roz na guzra kare koi

oDhi hai us ne sard KHamoshi misal-e-sang

lafzon ke aabshaar giraya kare koi

pani ki tarah phail gai ghar mein sham-e-hijr

ta-subh Dub Dub ke ubhra kare koi

main hun kisi sada ke shikanje mein 'jafari'

mera pata hawaon se puchha kare koi
