Tere Hote Hue Mehfil Main Jalate hain Chiragh
Tere hote hue mehfil maiṅ jalāte haiṅ chirāgh,
Log kyā sādhā haiṅ, sūraj ko dikhāte haiṅ chirāgh.
Apnī maḥrūmiyoṅ pe sharmindā haiṅ log,
Ḵẖud nahīṅ rakhte to auroṅ ke bujhāte haiṅ chirāgh.

Dil Main Na Ho Jur’at
Dil main na ho jur’at to muḥabbat nahīṅ miltī,
Ḵẖairāt meṅ itnī baṛī daulat nahīṅ miltī.
Kuchh log yūṅ hī shahar meṅ ham se bhī ḵẖafā haiṅ,
Har ek se apnī bhī ṭabī‘at nahīṅ miltī.
Safar Main Dhoop To Hogi
Safar meṅ d̤hūp to hogī, jo chal sakō to chalō,
Sabhī haiṅ bhīṛ meṅ, tum bhī nikal sakō to chalō.
Idhar-udhar ka.ī manzilēṅ haiṅ, chal sakō to chalō,
Banē-banā.e haiṅ sāṅchē, jo ḍhal sakō to chalō.
Hosh Valon Ko Khabar Kya
Hosh vāloṅ ko ḵẖabar kyā, be-ḵẖudī kyā chīz hai,
‘Ishq kījiye phir samajhīye zindagī kyā chīz hai.
Un se nazreṅ kyā milīṅ, raushan fiẓā.eṅ ho ga.īṅ,
Āj jānā pyār kī jādūgarī kyā chīz hai.
Ashiya Jal Gaya
Āshiyā̃ jal gayā, gul-sitā̃ luṭ gayā,
ham qafas se nikal kar kidhar jā.eṅge?
Itne mānūs ṣayyād se ho gaye,
ab rihā.ī milegī to mar jā.eṅge.
Aur kuchh din yeh dastūr-e-mai-khānah hai,
tashna-kāmī ke yeh din guzar jā.eṅge.
Mire sāqī ko nazreṅ uṭhāne to do,
jitne ḳẖālī haiṅ sab jām bhar jā.eṅge.
