gham faraham hain magar unki farawani nahin
ġham farāham haiñ magar un kī farāvānī nahīñ
ai girāñ-jānī yahāñ koī bhī āsānī nahīñ
chār-sū ik barf-basta ahd-e-nam kā raaj hai
dhuup meñ hiddat nahīñ dariyāoñ meñ paanī nahīñ
yaad hai kyā kaam hai is shahr kā kyā naam hai
sab kuchh us jaisā hai lekin āsmāñ dhānī nahīñ
zindagī ke dukh azal se zindagī ke saath haiñ
log faanī haiñ magar logoñ ke dukh faanī nahīñ
zindagī bhar sirf use puujā magar ghar baiTh kar
pāsdārān-e-vafā kā kaam darbānī nahīñ
ik shajar ke koī do patte bhī ik jaise na the
merī duniyā meñ kisī shai kā koī saanī nahīñ
gham faraham hain magar un ki farawani nahin
ai giran-jaani yahan koi bhi aasani nahin
chaar-su ek barf-basta ahd-e-nam ka raj hai
dhup mein hiddat nahin dariyaon mein pani nahin
yaad hai kya kaam hai is shahr ka kya nam hai
sab kuchh us jaisa hai lekin aasman dhani nahin
zindagi ke dukh azal se zindagi ke sath hain
log fani hain magar logon ke dukh fani nahin
zindagi bhar sirf use puja magar ghar baiTh kar
pasdaran-e-wafa ka kaam darbani nahin
ek shajar ke koi do patte bhi ek jaise na the
meri duniya mein kisi shai ka koi sani nahin
