ek mujassam dard hun ek aah hun

ik mujassam dard huuñ ik aah huuñ

phir bhī zeb-o-zīnat-e-afvāh huuñ

maiñ ne duniyā kī pasand oḌhī nahīñ

kuchh bhī huuñ phir bhī to haq-āgāh huuñ

sadd-e-lahm-o-ustuḳhvāñ hote hue

har nafas ab bhī tire hamrāh huuñ

karb vahshat ġham masā.il ke tufail

aaj tak zinda ba-hamdillāh huuñ

mere naqsh-e-pā se nikle rāste

log phir bhī kahte haiñ gumrāh huuñ

parvarish paatī hai jis se tīrgī

maiñ vahī farzand-e-mehr-o-māh huuñ

mai-kade kī rah se tujh ko pā liyā

log kahte haiñ ki maiñ gumrāh huuñ

ek mujassam dard hun ek aah hun

phir bhi zeb-o-zinat-e-afwah hun

main ne duniya ki pasand oDhi nahin

kuchh bhi hun phir bhi to haq-agah hun

sadd-e-lahm-o-ustuKHwan hote hue

har nafas ab bhi tere hamrah hun

karb wahshat gham masail ke tufail

aaj tak zinda ba-hamdillah hun

mere naqsh-e-pa se nikle raste

log phir bhi kahte hain gumrah hun

parwarish pati hai jis se tirgi

main wahi farzand-e-mehr-o-mah hun

mai-kade ki rah se tujh ko pa liya

log kahte hain ki main gumrah hun
