duniya sabab-e-shorish-e-gham puchh rahi hai

duniyā sabab-e-shorish-e-ġham pūchh rahī hai

ik mohr-e-ḳhamoshī hai ki hoñToñ pe lagī hai

kuchh aur ziyāda asar-e-tishna-labī hai

jab se tirī āñkhoñ se chhalaktī huī pī hai

is jabr kā ai ahl-e-jahāñ naam koī hai

kulfat meñ bhī ārām hai ġham meñ bhī ḳhushī hai

arbāb-e-chaman apnī bahāroñ se ye pūchheñ

dāmān-e-gul-o-ġhuncha meñ kyuuñ aag lagī hai

ai ham-safaro DhūñDh lo āsānī-e-manzil

apnā to ye dil ḳhūgar-e-mushkil-talabī hai

ai mauja-e-tūfāñ tirā dil koī bhī toḌe

sāhil ne safīne ko ik āvāz to dī hai

duniya sabab-e-shorish-e-gham puchh rahi hai

ek mohr-e-KHamoshi hai ki honTon pe lagi hai

kuchh aur ziyaada asar-e-tishna-labi hai

jab se teri aankhon se chhalakti hui pi hai

is jabr ka ai ahl-e-jahan nam koi hai

kulfat mein bhi aaram hai gham mein bhi KHushi hai

arbab-e-chaman apni bahaaron se ye puchhen

daman-e-gul-o-ghuncha mein kyun aag lagi hai

ai ham-safaro DhunDh lo aasani-e-manzil

apna to ye dil KHugar-e-mushkil-talabi hai

ai mauja-e-tufan tera dil koi bhi toDe

sahil ne safine ko ek aawaz to di hai
