sub.h hotī hai shaam hotī hai

umr yūñhī tamām hotī hai

subh hoti hai sham hoti hai

umr yunhi tamam hoti hai

aas kyā ab to umīd-e-nā-ummīdī bhī nahīñ

kaun de mujh ko tasallī kaun bahlā.e mujhe

aas kya ab to umid-e-na-ummidi bhi nahin

kaun de mujh ko tasalli kaun bahlae mujhe

nāseh ḳhatā muaaf suneñ kyā bahār meñ

ham iḳhtiyār meñ haiñ na dil iḳhtiyār meñ

naseh KHata muaf sunen kya bahaar mein

hum iKHtiyar mein hain na dil iKHtiyar mein

dimāġh de jo ḳhudā gulshan-e-mohabbat meñ

har ek gul se tire pairahan kī bū aa.e

dimagh de jo KHuda gulshan-e-mohabbat mein

har ek gul se tere pairahan ki bu aae

dil-lagī meñ hasrat-e-dil kuchh nikal jaatī to hai

bose le lete haiñ ham do-chār hañste bolte

dil-lagi mein hasrat-e-dil kuchh nikal jati to hai

bose le lete hain hum do-chaar hanste bolte
