Wajood apna na rooh apni Bas ik tamasha ye zeest thehri

Wajood apna

na rooh apni

Bas ik tamasha

ye zeest thehri,

Na dil'lagi mein sakon paia,

Na ashqi mein qarar paia,

Na wasl lamhy hi raas aaye,

Na firaq hi hum guzar paey,

Ajab ye chaht k marhaly hain,

Na jeet paey,
na haar paey,

Na hi yadon ki dhund utri,

Na dil k daman ko jhar paye,

Na ankhein khawbon ko dhond paien,

Na khawb ankhon ko dhond paye,

Bs ik tamasha ye zeest thehri

Na wajod apna, na rooh apni..
