hum na honge to hamein yaad karoge yaro
ham na hoñge to hameñ yaad karoge yaaro
tazkire hoñge yahī jab bhī miloge yaaro
ham ne rūdād-e-vafā ḳhud se murattab kī hai
dāstāñ phir ye kabhī sun na sakoge yaaro
ham na hoñge to kise pāoge dil kā mahram
ham na hoñge to ye dukh kis se kahoge yaaro
mahfileñ yūñhī raheñgī yūñhī yāroñ ke hujūm
lekin ik baat jise phir na sunoge yaaro
ham se zinda hai rah-o-rasm-e-mohabbat ab tak
us ko jaañ de ke kahāñ zinda rakhoge yaaro
ham ne har baar havādis kī kalā.ī moḌī
tum unheñ kis tarah maġhlūb karoge yaaro
zikr hogā lab-e-ayyām pe aksar apnā
tum hameñ mus.haf-e-ālam meñ paḌhoge yaaro
vaqt pūjegā hameñ vaqt hameñ DhūñDegā
aur tum vaqt ke ham-rāh chaloge yaaro
hamīñ tārīḳh-e-zamāna ke murattab haiñ 'ḳhalīq'
hameñ tārīḳh meñ ik roz kahoge yaaro
hum na honge to hamein yaad karoge yaro
tazkire honge yahi jab bhi miloge yaro
hum ne rudad-e-wafa KHud se murattab ki hai
dastan phir ye kabhi sun na sakoge yaro
hum na honge to kise paoge dil ka mahram
hum na honge to ye dukh kis se kahoge yaro
mahfilen yunhi rahengi yunhi yaron ke hujum
lekin ek baat jise phir na sunoge yaro
hum se zinda hai rah-o-rasm-e-mohabbat ab tak
us ko jaan de ke kahan zinda rakhoge yaro
hum ne har bar hawadis ki kalai moDi
tum unhen kis tarah maghlub karoge yaro
zikr hoga lab-e-ayyam pe aksar apna
tum hamein mushaf-e-alam mein paDhoge yaro
waqt pujega hamein waqt hamein DhunDega
aur tum waqt ke ham-rah chaloge yaro
hamin tariKH-e-zamana ke murattab hain 'KHaliq'
hamein tariKH mein ek roz kahoge yaro
