gardish-e-dauran se ek lamha churane liye

gardish-e-daurāñ se ik lamha churāne liye

sochnā paḌtā hai kitnā muskurāne ke liye

kitnī zahmat jheltā hai ek muflis mezbān

ghar kī bad-halī ko mehmāñ se chhupāne ke liye

bhuuk un ko le ga.ī hai kār-ḳhānoñ kī taraf

ghar se bachche nikle the schōl jaane ke liye

ḳhuun apnā bech kar aayā hai ik majbūr baap

beTiyoñ ke haath par mehñdī lagāne ke liye

zindagī jaltī hai kitnī dozaḳhoñ kī aag meñ

chār-dīvāroñ kī ik jannat banāne ke liye

haa.e tyauhāroñ ne logoñ ko bhikārī kar diyā

qarz lenā paḌtā hai ḳhushiyāñ manāne ke liye

ho rahe haiñ aaj daana āñdhiyoñ meñ mashvare

sirf mere ghar kā ik dīpak bujhāne ke liye

gardish-e-dauran se ek lamha churane liye

sochna paDta hai kitna muskurane ke liye

kitni zahmat jhelta hai ek muflis mezban

ghar ki bad-hali ko mehman se chhupane ke liye

bhuk un ko le gai hai kar-KHanon ki taraf

ghar se bachche nikle the school jaane ke liye

KHun apna bech kar aaya hai ek majbur bap

beTiyon ke hath par mehndi lagane ke liye

zindagi jalti hai kitni dozaKHon ki aag mein

chaar-diwaron ki ek jannat banane ke liye

hae tyauhaaron ne logon ko bhikari kar diya

qarz lena paDta hai KHushiyan manane ke liye

ho rahe hain aaj dana aandhiyon mein mashware

sirf mere ghar ka ek dipak bujhane ke liye
