dekh saktā huuñ binā chashme ke maiñ

dost terī bevafā.ī saaf saaf

dekh sakta hun bina chashme ke main

dost teri bewafai saf saf

rang saare aa ga.e 'āriz pe mere

jab kahā us ne mujhe holī mubārak

rang sare aa gae 'ariz pe mere

jab kaha us ne mujhe holi mubarak

chāhiye thī aap kī tasvīr so

khīñch lī tasvīr maiñ ne chāñd kī

chahiye thi aap ki taswir so

khinch li taswir main ne chand ki

daf'atan maiñ Thiik ho saktā huuñ chārāgar mire

tū mujhe pahnā de us ke naam kā tā'vīz gar

daf'atan main Thik ho sakta hun chaaragar mere

tu mujhe pahna de us ke nam ka ta'wiz gar

dil kā kamra raushnī se bhar gayā

jab jalā dīpak tumhārī yaad kā

dil ka kamra raushni se bhar gaya

jab jala dipak tumhaari yaad ka
