jhuT ko sach to mere yar bana sakta hai

jhuuT ko sach to mire yaar banā saktā hai

ye hunar sun tujhe sardār banā saktā hai

tujh ko bhī haq hai siyāsat meñ chale jaane kā

tū agar ret kī dīvār banā saktā hai

ye nayā daur-e-taraqqī hai yahāñ sikkoñ se

koī ḳhirqa koī dastār banā saktā hai

muḳhtalif rog kī bas ek davā de de kar

ye masīhā hameñ bīmār banā saktā hai

zo.am sajdoñ kā jabīñ par na sajā.e phiriye

ye takabbur bhī gunahgār banā saktā hai

hosh vāloñ meñ ye charchā bhī bahut aam huā

mujh ko pāgal bhī mirā yaar banā saktā hai

Daal kar ḳhvāb na.e adh-khulī āñkho meñ yahāñ

sho.abada-bāz bhī sarkār banā saktā hai

bojh ho terī anā par jo sahārā 'dānish'

vo sahārā tujhe lāchār banā saktā hai

jhuT ko sach to mere yar bana sakta hai

ye hunar sun tujhe sardar bana sakta hai

tujh ko bhi haq hai siyasat mein chale jaane ka

tu agar ret ki diwar bana sakta hai

ye naya daur-e-taraqqi hai yahan sikkon se

koi KHirqa koi dastar bana sakta hai

muKHtalif rog ki bas ek dawa de de kar

ye masiha hamein bimar bana sakta hai

zoam sajdon ka jabin par na sajae phiriye

ye takabbur bhi gunahgar bana sakta hai

hosh walon mein ye charcha bhi bahut aam hua

mujh ko pagal bhi mera yar bana sakta hai

Dal kar KHwab nae adh-khuli aankho mein yahan

shoabada-baz bhi sarkar bana sakta hai

bojh ho teri ana par jo sahaara 'danish'

wo sahaara tujhe lachaar bana sakta hai
