hum jo insan ke gham uThate hain
ham jo insāñ ke ġham uThāte haiñ
ḳhuub ko ḳhūb-tar banāte haiñ
zindagī ḳhvāb hī sahī lekin
ḳhvāb ta.abīr chhoḌ jaate haiñ
be-haqīqat masarratoñ ke liye
zindagī bhar fareb khāte haiñ
māñgte haiñ duā.eñ jiine kī
aur jiinā hī bhuul jaate haiñ
sochī-samjhī vahī tamannā.eñ
roz ḳhāke na.e banāte haiñ
aap se yaad aap kī achchhī
aap to ham ko bhuul jaate haiñ
kārvān-e-hayāt meñ ḳhud ko
har qadam ajnabī sā paate haiñ
jab bhī bantā hai koī shīsh-mahal
kitne ā.īne TuuT jaate haiñ
zehn-o-dil kī riqābateñ tauba
kaise kaise ḳhayāl aate haiñ
dostī kyā hai ḳhud-satā.ī hai
sab 'matīn' apne kaam aate haiñ
hum jo insan ke gham uThate hain
KHub ko KHub-tar banate hain
zindagi KHwab hi sahi lekin
KHwab tabir chhoD jate hain
be-haqiqat masarraton ke liye
zindagi bhar fareb khate hain
mangte hain duaen jine ki
aur jina hi bhul jate hain
sochi-samjhi wahi tamannaen
roz KHake nae banate hain
aap se yaad aap ki achchhi
aap to hum ko bhul jate hain
karwan-e-hayat mein KHud ko
har qadam ajnabi sa pate hain
jab bhi banta hai koi shish-mahal
kitne aaine TuT jate hain
zehn-o-dil ki riqabaten tauba
kaise kaise KHayal aate hain
dosti kya hai KHud-satai hai
sab 'matin' apne kaam aate hain
