dil jinko DhunDhta hai na-jaane kahan gae

dil jin ko DhūñDhtā hai na-jāne kahāñ ga.e

ḳhvāb-o-ḳhayāl se vo zamāne kahāñ ga.e

mānūs bām-o-dar se nazar pūchhtī rahī

un meñ base vo log purāne kahāñ ga.e

us sarzamīñ se thī jo mohabbat vo kyā huī

bachchoñ ke lab pe the jo tarāne kahāñ ga.e

apnī ḳhatā pe sar ko jhukāyā hai aaj kyuuñ

azbar jo aap ko the bahāne kahāñ ga.e

patthar samā.atoñ se zabāñ guñg ho ga.ī

ham bhī ga.e to haal sunāne kahāñ ga.e

be-mahrī-e-yahāt tujhe kuchh ḳhabar bhī hai

dekhe ga.e jo ḳhvāb suhāne kahāñ ga.e

bachpan saheliyāñ vo hama-vaqt kī hañsī

'amabar' vo zindagī ke ḳhazāne kahāñ ga.e

dil jin ko DhunDhta hai na-jaane kahan gae

KHwab-o-KHayal se wo zamane kahan gae

manus baam-o-dar se nazar puchhti rahi

un mein base wo log purane kahan gae

us sarzamin se thi jo mohabbat wo kya hui

bachchon ke lab pe the jo tarane kahan gae

apni KHata pe sar ko jhukaya hai aaj kyun

azbar jo aap ko the bahane kahan gae

patthar samaaton se zaban gung ho gai

hum bhi gae to haal sunane kahan gae

be-mahri-e-yahat tujhe kuchh KHabar bhi hai

dekhe gae jo KHwab suhane kahan gae

bachpan saheliyan wo hama-waqt ki hansi

'amabar' wo zindagi ke KHazane kahan gae
