'inshā'-jī uTho ab kuuch karo is shahr meñ jī ko lagānā kyā'insha'-ji uTho ab kuch karo is shahr mein ji ko lagana kya
'inshā'-jī uTho ab kuuch karo is shahr meñ jī ko lagānā kyā vahshī ko sukūñ se kyā matlab jogī kā nagar meñ Thikānā kyā
is dil ke darīda dāman ko dekho to sahī socho to sahī jis jholī meñ sau chhed hue us jholī kā phailānā kyā
shab biitī chāñd bhī Duub chalā zanjīr paḌī darvāze meñ kyuuñ der ga.e ghar aa.e ho sajnī se karoge bahānā kyā
phir hijr kī lambī raat miyāñ sanjog kī to yahī ek ghaḌī jo dil meñ hai lab par aane do sharmānā kyā ghabrānā kyā
us roz jo un ko dekhā hai ab ḳhvāb kā aalam lagtā hai us roz jo un se baat huī vo baat bhī thī afsānā kyā
us husn ke sachche motī ko ham dekh sakeñ par chhū na sakeñ jise dekh sakeñ par chhū na sakeñ vo daulat kyā vo ḳhazānā kyā
us ko bhī jalā dukhte hue man ik sho.ala laal bhabūkā ban yuuñ aañsū ban bah jaanā kyā yuuñ maaTī meñ mil jaanā kyā
jab shahr ke log na rastā deñ kyuuñ ban meñ na jā bisrām kare dīvānoñ kī sī na baat kare to aur kare dīvānā kyā
Insha, get up now and leave, why get attached to this city? What does a wild person care about peace, what is a hermit's place in the city?
Look at this torn heart, think about it What is the point of spreading a cloak full of holes?
The night has passed, the moon has also set, the chain is on the door Why are you late coming home, what excuse will you make to your beloved?
Again, the long night of separation, this is the only moment of union Let what is in your heart come to your lips, why be shy, why be scared?
The day I saw them, now it feels like a dream The day I spoke to them, even that conversation was a story
We could see the true pearls of that beauty but could not touch What we can see but not touch, what is that wealth, what is that treasure?
Burn that heart too, let it become a red flame Why become tears and flow away, why mix with the dust?
When the people of the city do not give way, why not go to the forest and rest? If you do not speak like the mad, then what else can a madman do?
