ek qayamat hai jawani ek qayamat hai shabab

ik qayāmat hai javānī ik qayāmat hai shabāb

har tabassum ek tūfāñ har nazar ik inqalāb

har taraf ek āh-o-zārī har taraf ek iztirāb

kitnī sauġhāteñ liye aayā hai daur-e-inqilāb

sāġhar-o-mīnā paTak de toḌ de chañg-o-rubāb

dekh sar par aa chukā hai āftāb-e-inqalāb

ishq ke dastūr duniyā se alag dastūr haiñ

is kī gumnāmī meñ shohrat is kī ḳhāmoshī javāb

ai mirī nazroñ kī jannat kyā tujhe ma.alūm hai

kis ke sadqe ho rahe haiñ āftab-o-māhtāb

maiñ to kahtā huuñ ḳhudā kā shukr karnā chāhiye

jaan de kar bhī jo ho jaa.e mohabbat kāmyāb

ai dil-e-ġham-āshnā ab to vo ham se chhuT ga.e

aur kyā is se ziyāda hogā koī inqalāb

un se bāteñ kar rahā huuñ vo khaḌe haiñ sāmne

jāgtā rahtā huuñ lekin dekhtā rahtā huuñ ḳhvāb

bandisheñ donoñ taraf pābandiyāñ donoñ taraf

ek pāband-e-mohabbat ek pāband-e-hijāb

mujh ko ai 'shārib' fishār-e-qabr kā kyā ḳhauf ho

maiñ ġhulām-e-shāh-e-yasrib maiñ ġhulām-e-bū-turāb

ek qayamat hai jawani ek qayamat hai shabab

har tabassum ek tufan har nazar ek inqalab

har taraf ek aah-o-zari har taraf ek iztirab

kitni saughaten liye aaya hai daur-e-inqilab

saghar-o-mina paTak de toD de chang-o-rubab

dekh sar par aa chuka hai aaftab-e-inqalab

ishq ke dastur duniya se alag dastur hain

is ki gumnami mein shohrat is ki KHamoshi jawab

ai meri nazron ki jannat kya tujhe malum hai

kis ke sadqe ho rahe hain aaftab-o-mahtab

main to kahta hun KHuda ka shukr karna chahiye

jaan de kar bhi jo ho jae mohabbat kaamyab

ai dil-e-gham-ashna ab to wo hum se chhuT gae

aur kya is se ziyaada hoga koi inqalab

un se baaten kar raha hun wo khaDe hain samne

jagta rahta hun lekin dekhta rahta hun KHwab

bandishen donon taraf pabandiyan donon taraf

ek paband-e-mohabbat ek paband-e-hijab

mujh ko ai 'shaarib' fishaar-e-qabr ka kya KHauf ho

main ghulam-e-shah-e-yasrib main ghulam-e-bu-turab
