chal nikalti hain gham-e-yar se baaten kya kya

chal nikaltī haiñ ġham-e-yār se bāteñ kyā kyā

ham ne bhī kiiñ dar-o-dīvār se bāteñ kyā kyā

baat ban aa.ī hai phir se ki mire baare meñ

us ne pūchhīñ mire ġham-ḳhvār se bāteñ kyā kyā

log lab-basta agar hoñ to nikal aatī haiñ

chup ke pairāya-e-iz.hār se bāteñ kyā kyā

kisī saudā.ī kā qissa kisī harjā.ī kī baat

log le aate haiñ bāzār se bāteñ kyā kyā

ham ne bhī dast-shanāsī ke bahāne kī haiñ

haath meñ haath liye pyaar se bāteñ kyā kyā

kis ko biknā thā magar ḳhush haiñ ki is hiile se

ho ga.iiñ apne ḳharīdār se bāteñ kyā kyā

ham haiñ ḳhāmosh ki majbūr-e-mohabbat the 'farāz'

varna mansūb haiñ sarkār se bāteñ kyā kyā

chal nikalti hain gham-e-yar se baaten kya kya

hum ne bhi kin dar-o-diwar se baaten kya kya

baat ban aai hai phir se ki mere bare mein

us ne puchhin mere gham-KHwar se baaten kya kya

log lab-basta agar hon to nikal aati hain

chup ke pairaya-e-izhaar se baaten kya kya

kisi saudai ka qissa kisi harjai ki baat

log le aate hain bazar se baaten kya kya

hum ne bhi dast-shanasi ke bahane ki hain

hath mein hath liye pyar se baaten kya kya

kis ko bikna tha magar KHush hain ki is hile se

ho gain apne KHaridar se baaten kya kya

hum hain KHamosh ki majbur-e-mohabbat the 'faraaz'

warna mansub hain sarkar se baaten kya kya
