bikhar jaa'en gay hum kiya, jub tum'aashaa khutum ho ga
m'ray maa'bood aakhir kub tum'aashaa khutum ho ga

cheraagh hoojra-e-doorvaish ki boojhti hoee law
ha'vaa say keh gaey hei ub tum'aashaa khutum ho ga

kahaani mein naey kirdaar shaamil ho gaey hein
nahen ma'aloom ub kiss d'hubb tum'aashaa khutum ho ga

kahaani aap oolj'hee hei, keh ool'jha'ee gaee hei
yeh uqda tub khoolay gaa jub tum'aashaa khutum ho ga

zumeen jub udl say bhur jaaey gee noor-oon-ul-un-noor
ba'naam-e- musluk o madhub tum'aashaa khutum ho ga

yeh sub kut pootliaa'n ruq'saa'n rahaaayn gee raat kee raat
sahar say pehlay pehlay sub tum'aashaa khutum ho ga

tum'aashaa kernay vaa'loo.n ko khubar dee jaa chookey hei
keh purdah kub giray gaa, kub tum'aashaa khutum ho ga

dil-e-na-moot'ma'in aisa bhee kya ma'yoos rehna
jo khulq oothee to.h, sub kertub, tum'aashaa khutum ho ga
