vaqt ab dastaras meñ hai 'aḳhtar'

ab to maiñ jis jahān tak ho aa.uuñ

waqt ab dastaras mein hai 'aKHtar'

ab to main jis jahan tak ho aaun

shahr ḳhālī hai kise eid mubārak kahiye

chal diye chhoḌ ke makka bhī madīna vaale

shahr KHali hai kise eid mubarak kahiye

chal diye chhoD ke makka bhi madina wale

ye kā.enāt mire sāmne hai misl-e-bisāt

kahīñ junūñ meñ ulaT duuñ na is jahān ko maiñ

ye kaenat mere samne hai misl-e-bisat

kahin junun mein ulaT dun na is jahan ko main

shaam aa.e aur ghar ke liye dil machal uThe

shaam aa.e aur dil ke liye koī ghar na ho

sham aae aur ghar ke liye dil machal uThe

sham aae aur dil ke liye koi ghar na ho
