ek umr ki kamai uDa le gai hawa

ik 'umr kī kamā.ī uḌā le ga.ī havā

sab kuchh hamāre ghar se uThā le ga.ī havā

be-tarh be-libās huā hai tamām baaġh

nāzuk-badan kī sabz qabā le ga.ī havā

ghar ke sharīr bachche bhī ḳhāmosh ho ga.e

mā'sūm qahqahoñ kī sadā le ga.ī havā

āñkhoñ meñ kaḌvī dhuul sar-e-shām jhoñk dī

kyā kyā suhāne ḳhvāb churā le ga.ī havā

sab narm chhāoñ dhuup kī vaadī meñ jal ga.ī

kis raah badliyoñ ko lagā le ga.ī havā

muñh dekhte hī rah ga.e kāfir-nigāh log

īmān apnā saaf bachā le ga.ī havā

maiñ naam kā 'ra.īs' thā ḳhālī the donoñ haath

albatta mere ghar se du'ā le ga.ī havā

ek 'umr ki kamai uDa le gai hawa

sab kuchh hamare ghar se uTha le gai hawa

be-tarh be-libas hua hai tamam bagh

nazuk-badan ki sabz qaba le gai hawa

ghar ke sharir bachche bhi KHamosh ho gae

ma'sum qahqahon ki sada le gai hawa

aankhon mein kaDwi dhul sar-e-sham jhonk di

kya kya suhane KHwab chura le gai hawa

sab narm chhaon dhup ki wadi mein jal gai

kis rah badliyon ko laga le gai hawa

munh dekhte hi rah gae kafir-nigah log

iman apna saf bacha le gai hawa

main nam ka 'rais' tha KHali the donon hath

albatta mere ghar se du'a le gai hawa
