siine meñ ik khaTak sī hai aur bas

ham nahīñ jānte ki kyā hai dil

sine mein ek khaTak si hai aur bas

hum nahin jaante ki kya hai dil

kalām-e-mīr samjhe aur zabān-e-mīrzā samjhe

magar un kā kahā ye aap samjheñ yā ḳhudā samjhe

kalam-e-mir samjhe aur zaban-e-mirza samjhe

magar un ka kaha ye aap samjhen ya KHuda samjhe

ai sham.a sub.h hotī hai rotī hai kis liye

thoḌī sī rah ga.ī hai ise bhī guzār de

ai shama subh hoti hai roti hai kis liye

thoDi si rah gai hai ise bhi guzar de

be-sabātī chaman-e-dahr kī hai jin pe khulī

havas-e-rañg na vo ḳhvāhish-e-bū karte haiñ

be-sabaati chaman-e-dahr ki hai jin pe khuli

hawas-e-rang na wo KHwahish-e-bu karte hain

kalām-e-mīr samjhe aur zabān-e-mīrzā samjhe

magar un kā kahā yā aap samjheñ yā ḳhudā samjhe

kalam-e-mir samjhe aur zaban-e-mirza samjhe

magar un ka kaha ya aap samjhen ya KHuda samjhe
