humne apne aap se jab baat ki

ham ne apne aap se jab baat kī

aa ga.ī raste meñ ik dīvār sī

apne darvāze pe dastak de koī

ek sannāTe pe duniyā kho ga.ī

kaun se nuqte pe lā kar toḌte

umr-e-rafta terī yādoñ kī kaḌī

'dard' apnā ham ta.āruf deñ to kyā

ham to apne aap se haiñ ajnabī

hum ne apne aap se jab baat ki

aa gai raste mein ek diwar si

apne darwaze pe dastak de koi

ek sannaTe pe duniya kho gai

kaun se nuqte pe la kar toDte

umr-e-rafta teri yaadon ki kaDi

'dard' apna hum taaruf den to kya

hum to apne aap se hain ajnabi
