kuchh na kuchh dil ke paas hai terā

tū nahīñ to tirī kamī hai abhī

kuchh na kuchh dil ke pas hai tera

tu nahin to teri kami hai abhi

ye lamha-bhar kī aziyyat kā kyā gila karnā

paḌī hai 'umr abhī aur dil jalāne meñ

ye lamha-bhar ki aziyyat ka kya gila karna

paDi hai 'umr abhi aur dil jalane mein

kis qadar dil-fareb lagtā hai

mujh se vo ham-kalām hotā huā

kis qadar dil-fareb lagta hai

mujh se wo ham-kalam hota hua

saje jo shāḳh-e-tamannā meñ yaad kī ḳhushbū

sameTne kabhī baiThūñ to yūñhī muskā.ūñ

saje jo shaKH-e-tamanna mein yaad ki KHushbu

sameTne kabhi baiThun to yunhi muskaun

kuchh talab thī use mu'āfī kī

aur kuchh maiñ bhī dil-kushāda thī

kuchh talab thi use mu'afi ki

aur kuchh main bhi dil-kushada thi
