apne ajdad ki KHu bu aae

apne ajdād kī ḳhū bū aa.e

kaash bachchoñ ko bhī urdu aa.e

ham chaman meñ haiñ to ye ḳhvāhish hai

apne hisse meñ bhī ḳhushbū aa.e

yaad aa.ī jo kisī kī to lagā

dast-e-ehsās meñ jugnū aa.e

baat niklī to ga.ī duur talak

guftugū meñ ka.ī pahlū aa.e

sab haiñ insān to phir zehnoñ meñ

kyoñ ye tafrīq-e-man-o-tū aa.e

ḳhushk āñkhoñ meñ baḌī halchal hai

baad muddat ke haiñ aañsū aa.e

apne ajdad ki KHu bu aae

kash bachchon ko bhi urdu aae

hum chaman mein hain to ye KHwahish hai

apne hisse mein bhi KHushbu aae

yaad aai jo kisi ki to laga

dast-e-ehsas mein jugnu aae

baat nikli to gai dur talak

guftugu mein kai pahlu aae

sab hain insan to phir zehnon mein

kyon ye tafriq-e-man-o-tu aae

KHushk aankhon mein baDi halchal hai

baad muddat ke hain aansu aae
