'chandā' rahe partav se tire yā alī raushan

ḳhurshīd ko hai dar se tire shām-o-sahar faiz

'chanda' rahe partaw se tere ya ali raushan

KHurshid ko hai dar se tere sham-o-sahar faiz

gar mire dil ko churāyā nahīñ tū ne zālim

khol de band hathelī ko dikhā hāthoñ ko

gar mere dil ko churaya nahin tu ne zalim

khol de band hatheli ko dikha hathon ko

gul ke hone kī tavaqqo.a pe jiye baiThī hai

har kalī jaan ko muTThī meñ liye baiThī hai

gul ke hone ki tawaqqoa pe jiye baiThi hai

har kali jaan ko muTThi mein liye baiThi hai

kabhī sayyād kā khaTkā hai kabhī ḳhauf-e-ḳhizāñ

bulbul ab jaan hathelī pe liye baiThī hai

kabhi sayyaad ka khaTka hai kabhi KHauf-e-KHizan

bulbul ab jaan hatheli pe liye baiThi hai

un ko āñkheñ dikhā de Tuk saaqī

chāhte haiñ jo baar baar sharāb

un ko aankhen dikha de Tuk saqi

chahte hain jo bar bar sharab
