bin tumhaare rahi be-qarari bahut

bin tumhāre rahī be-qarārī bahut

lamha-lamha rahā dil pe bhārī bahut

yaad ban kar mahaktā rahegā sadā

zaḳhm us ne diyā ham ko kaarī bahut

chaal qismat ke aage koī kab chalī

paas apne thī yuuñ hoshiyārī bahut

raat curfew bhī thā aur dhamāke hue

ḳhauf dil pe rahā apne taarī bahut

dekhte raunaqeñ kyā nagar kī bhalā

sar pe apne rahī zimmedārī bahut

kaise karte batā sar ko ḳham ham bhalā

bojh apnā anā kā thā bhārī bahut

naqsh-e-pā apne maazī ne chhoḌe nahīñ

pahle logoñ meñ thī vaz.a-dārī bahut

bin tumhaare rahi be-qarari bahut

lamha-lamha raha dil pe bhaari bahut

yaad ban kar mahakta rahega sada

zaKHm us ne diya hum ko kari bahut

chaal qismat ke aage koi kab chali

pas apne thi yun hoshiyari bahut

raat curfew bhi tha aur dhamake hue

KHauf dil pe raha apne tari bahut

dekhte raunaqen kya nagar ki bhala

sar pe apne rahi zimmedari bahut

kaise karte bata sar ko KHam hum bhala

bojh apna ana ka tha bhaari bahut

naqsh-e-pa apne mazi ne chhoDe nahin

pahle logon mein thi waza-dari bahut
