jab kabhi bolna waqt par bolna

jab kabhī bolnā vaqt par bolnā

muddatoñ sochnā muḳhtasar bolnā

Daal degā halākat meñ ik din tujhe

ai parinde tirā shāḳh par bolnā

pahle kuchh duur tak saath chal ke parakh

phir mujhe ham-safar ham-safar bolnā

umr-bhar ko mujhe be-sadā kar gayā

terā ik baar muñh pher kar bolnā

merī ḳhāna-badoshī se pūchhe koī

kitnā mushkil hai raste ko ghar bolnā

umr-bhar tujh ko rakkhegā garm-e-safar

manziloñ ko tirā rahguzar bolnā

kyoñ hai ḳhāmosh sone kī chiḌiyā batā

lag ga.ī tujh ko kis kī nazar bol nā

jab kabhi bolna waqt par bolna

muddaton sochna muKHtasar bolna

Dal dega halakat mein ek din tujhe

ai parinde tera shaKH par bolna

pahle kuchh dur tak sath chal ke parakh

phir mujhe ham-safar ham-safar bolna

umr-bhar ko mujhe be-sada kar gaya

tera ek bar munh pher kar bolna

meri KHana-badoshi se puchhe koi

kitna mushkil hai raste ko ghar bolna

umr-bhar tujh ko rakkhega garm-e-safar

manzilon ko tera rahguzar bolna

kyon hai KHamosh sone ki chiDiya bata

lag gai tujh ko kis ki nazar bol na
