tumhaare dil ki tarah ye zamin tang nahin

tumhāre dil kī tarah ye zamīn tañg nahīñ

ḳhudā kā shukr ki paañv meñ apne lañg nahīñ

ajiib us se ta.alluq hai kyā kahā jaa.e

kuchh aisī sulh nahīñ hai kuchh aisī jañg nahīñ

koī batāo ki is aa.ine kā mol hai kyā

jis aa.ine pe nishān-e-ġhubār-o-zañg nahīñ

mirā junūn hai kotāh yā ye shahr-e-tabāh

jo zaḳhm-e-sar ke liye yaañ talāsh-e-sañg nahīñ

haiñ saare qāfila-sālār sab haiñ rāh-numā

ye kyā safar hai jo koī kisī ke sañg nahīñ

jo kuchh mata-e-hunar ho to sāmne laao

ki ye zamāna-e-iz.hār-e-nasl-o-rañg nahīñ

tumhaare dil ki tarah ye zamin tang nahin

KHuda ka shukr ki panw mein apne lang nahin

ajib us se talluq hai kya kaha jae

kuchh aisi sulh nahin hai kuchh aisi jang nahin

koi batao ki is aaine ka mol hai kya

jis aaine pe nishan-e-ghubar-o-zang nahin

mera junun hai kotah ya ye shahr-e-tabah

jo zaKHm-e-sar ke liye yan talash-e-sang nahin

hain sare qafila-salar sab hain rah-numa

ye kya safar hai jo koi kisi ke sang nahin

jo kuchh mata-e-hunar ho to samne lao

ki ye zamana-e-izhaar-e-nasl-o-rang nahin
