sauda-gar

lo gajar baj gayā

sub.h hone ko hai

din nikalte hī ab maiñ chalā jā.ūñgā

ajnabī shāh-rāhoñ pe phir

kāsa-e-chashm le le ke ek ek chehra takūñgā

daftaroñ kār-ḳhānoñ meñ tālīm-gāhoñ meñ jā kar

apnī qīmat lagāne kī koshish karūñgā

merī ārām-e-jāñ

mujh ko ik baar phir dekh lo

aaj kī shaam lauTūñgā jab

bech kar apne shaffāf dil kā lahū

apnī jholī meñ chāñdī ke TukḌe liye

tum bhī mujh ko na pahchān pā.īñ to phir

maiñ kahāñ jā.ūñgā

kis se jā kar kahūñgā ki maiñ kaun thā

kis se jā kar kahūñgā ki maiñ kaun huuñ

lo gajar baj gaya

subh hone ko hai

din nikalte hi ab main chala jaunga

ajnabi shah-rahon pe phir

kasa-e-chashm le le ke ek ek chehra takunga

daftaron kar-KHanon mein talim-gahon mein ja kar

apni qimat lagane ki koshish karunga

meri aaram-e-jaan

mujh ko ek bar phir dekh lo

aaj ki sham lauTunga jab

bech kar apne shaffaf dil ka lahu

apni jholi mein chandi ke TukDe liye

tum bhi mujh ko na pahchan pain to phir

main kahan jaunga

kis se ja kar kahunga ki main kaun tha

kis se ja kar kahunga ki main kaun hun
