aap ne tasvīr bhejī maiñ ne dekhī ġhaur se

har adā achchhī ḳhamoshī kī adā achchhī nahīñ

aap ne taswir bheji main ne dekhi ghaur se

har ada achchhi KHamoshi ki ada achchhi nahin

bū-e-gul thā maiñ haath kyā aatā

kitne sayyād le ke daam aa.e

bu-e-gul tha main hath kya aata

kitne sayyaad le ke dam aae

dilchasp ho ga.ī tire chalne se rahguzar

uTh uTh ke gard-e-rāh lipaTtī hai raah se

dilchasp ho gai tere chalne se rahguzar

uTh uTh ke gard-e-rah lipaTti hai rah se

mar ke yaad aa.e maze duniyā ke

ghar se nikle the ki ghar yaad aayā

mar ke yaad aae maze duniya ke

ghar se nikle the ki ghar yaad aaya

vo to kyā us kā tasavvur bhī 'jalīl'

ba-sad-andāz-o-ba-sad-nāz aaya

wo to kya us ka tasawwur bhi 'jalil'

ba-sad-andaz-o-ba-sad-naz aaya
