hum apne baKHt-e-siyah ke asar mein rahte hain
ham apne baḳht-e-siyah ke asar meñ rahte haiñ
vo raat hai ki sitāre nazar meñ rahte haiñ
tamāsha-e-gāh-e-tulū-o-ġhurūb se haT kar
ham ik savād-e-shab-e-be-sahar meñ rahte haiñ
na thī ḳhudā kī zamīñ tañg jin ke qadmoñ par
fuġhāñ ki qaid vo dīvār-o-dar meñ rahte haiñ
vo āgahī ke samundar kahāñ haiñ jin ke liye
tamām-umr ye pyāse safar meñ rahte haiñ
havā-e-kūcha-e-mahbūb se kahe to kaun
ki ham bhī ārzū-e-nāma-bar meñ rahte haiñ
vo shahryār-e-suḳhan naam jin kā 'sahbā' hai
faqīr ban ke tirī rahguzar meñ rahte haiñ
hum apne baKHt-e-siyah ke asar mein rahte hain
wo raat hai ki sitare nazar mein rahte hain
tamasha-e-gah-e-tulu-o-ghurub se haT kar
hum ek sawad-e-shab-e-be-sahar mein rahte hain
na thi KHuda ki zamin tang jin ke qadmon par
fughan ki qaid wo diwar-o-dar mein rahte hain
wo aagahi ke samundar kahan hain jin ke liye
tamam-umr ye pyase safar mein rahte hain
hawa-e-kucha-e-mahbub se kahe to kaun
ki hum bhi aarzu-e-nama-bar mein rahte hain
wo shahryar-e-suKHan nam jin ka 'sahba' hai
faqir ban ke teri rahguzar mein rahte hain
