aaj ik aur baras biit gayā us ke baġhair
jis ke hote hue hote the zamāne mere
ye aarzū bhī baḌī chiiz hai magar hamdam
visāl-e-yār faqat aarzū kī baat nahīñ
ye aarzu bhi baDi chiz hai magar hamdam
visal-e-yar faqat aarzu ki baat nahin
le saañs bhī āhista ki nāzuk hai bahut kaam
āfāq kī is kārgah-e-shīshagarī kā
breathe here softly as with fragility here all is fraught
in this workshop of the world where wares of glass are wrought
le sans bhi aahista ki nazuk hai bahut kaam
aafaq ki is kargah-e-shishagari ka
maiñ hairat o hasrat kā maarā ḳhāmosh khaḌā huuñ sāhil par
dariyā-e-mohabbat kahtā hai aa kuchh bhī nahīñ pāyāb haiñ ham
main hairat o hasrat ka mara KHamosh khaDa hun sahil par
dariya-e-mohabbat kahta hai aa kuchh bhi nahin payab hain hum
DhūñDoge agar mulkoñ mulkoñ milne ke nahīñ nāyāb haiñ ham
jo yaad na aa.e bhuul ke phir ai ham-nafaso vo ḳhvāb haiñ ham
DhunDoge agar mulkon mulkon milne ke nahin nayab hain hum
jo yaad na aae bhul ke phir ai ham-nafaso wo KHwab hain hum
ek hañgāme pe mauqūf hai ghar kī raunaq
nauha-e-ġham hī sahī naġhma-e-shādī na sahī
if just on clamor now depends, the home's hullabaloo
if be not songs of joy, no loss, with sorrow's cries make do
ek hangame pe mauquf hai ghar ki raunaq
nauha-e-gham hi sahi naghma-e-shadi na sahi
