hikayaton se fasanon se ret uDti hai
hikāyatoñ se fasānoñ se ret uḌtī hai
yahāñ qadīm zamānoñ se ret uḌtī hai
nasheb-e-jāñ se umaDte haiñ tāza-rau dariyā
buland-bām makānoñ se ret uḌtī hai
lapak alag hai chamak aur hai lalak hai judā
ye kaisī kaisī uThānoñ se ret uḌtī hai
yahāñ kitāboñ se jhaḌtī haiñ bhurnhurī sadiyāñ
aur ek shelf ke ḳhānoñ se ret uḌtī hai
ba-najd ḳhātir-e-majnūñ varā-e-shauq-o-junūñ
uḌe to kitne bahānoñ se ret uḌtī hai
hamārī naqsh-numā.ī ko chāTne ke liye
tire tamām jahānoñ se ret uḌtī hai
yahīñ kahīñ the vo lahreñ uchhālne vaale
hamāre dil meñ zamānoñ se ret uḌtī hai
hikayaton se fasanon se ret uDti hai
yahan qadim zamanon se ret uDti hai
nasheb-e-jaan se umaDte hain taza-rau dariya
buland-baam makanon se ret uDti hai
lapak alag hai chamak aur hai lalak hai juda
ye kaisi kaisi uThanon se ret uDti hai
yahan kitabon se jhaDti hain bhurnhuri sadiyan
aur ek shelf ke KHanon se ret uDti hai
ba-najd KHatir-e-majnun wara-e-shauq-o-junun
uDe to kitne bahanon se ret uDti hai
hamari naqsh-numai ko chaTne ke liye
tere tamam jahanon se ret uDti hai
yahin kahin the wo lahren uchhaalne wale
hamare dil mein zamanon se ret uDti hai
