Dil ki Betuki Nautanki – Hindi Poem

Nautanki-a poem in Hindi

Here is the poem in English script:

Uff ye dil ki betuki nautanki
Bebas-bekaraar bewajah, jeene main tangi
Pal main behkaaye, hardum tadpaaye, sapnoon ki duniya rang-birangi
‘Na roko mujhe’ – fadfadaye aawaara pankhi
Iraade gagan ke, par udne pe paabandi
Fisalta jaaye umeed ka chikna daaman, aur ye kismet bedhangi
Reham! Uppar-wale sun le mere mann ki
Ab na sahi jaaye, is dil ki betuki nautanki
