hum tere husn-e-jahan-tab se Dar jate hain

ham tire husn-e-jahāñ-tāb se Dar jaate haiñ

aise muflis haiñ ki asbāb se Dar jaate haiñ

ḳhauf aisā hai ki duniyā ke satā.e hue log

kabhī mimbar kabhī mehrāb se Dar jaate haiñ

raat ke pichhle pahar niiñd meñ chalte hue log

ḳhuun hote hue mahtāb se Dar jaate haiñ

shaad rahte haiñ isī jāma-e-uryānī meñ

haañ magar atlas-o-kamḳhvāb se Dar jaate haiñ

kabhī karte haiñ mubāraz-e-talabī duniyā se

aur kabhī ḳhvāhish-e-betāb se Dar jaate haiñ

jī to kahtā hai ki chaliye usī kūche kī taraf

ham tirī bazm ke ādāb se Dar jaate haiñ

ham to vo haiñ ki jinheñ raas nahīñ koī nagar

kabhī sāhil kabhī girdāb se Dar jaate haiñ

hum tere husn-e-jahan-tab se Dar jate hain

aise muflis hain ki asbab se Dar jate hain

KHauf aisa hai ki duniya ke satae hue log

kabhi mimbar kabhi mehrab se Dar jate hain

raat ke pichhle pahar nind mein chalte hue log

KHun hote hue mahtab se Dar jate hain

shad rahte hain isi jama-e-uryani mein

han magar atlas-o-kamKHwab se Dar jate hain

kabhi karte hain mubaraz-e-talabi duniya se

aur kabhi KHwahish-e-betab se Dar jate hain

ji to kahta hai ki chaliye usi kuche ki taraf

hum teri bazm ke aadab se Dar jate hain

hum to wo hain ki jinhen ras nahin koi nagar

kabhi sahil kabhi girdab se Dar jate hain
