kahin sahra mein jo dariya dekhen

kahīñ sahrā meñ jo dariyā dekheñ

ham bhī ā.īne meñ chehrā dekheñ

ham mohabbat ke liye ḳhaak uḌā.eñ

log galiyoñ meñ tamāshā dekheñ

sabr aa jaa.e agar apnā ye haal

jin kī ḳhātir hai vo tanhā dekheñ

band āñkhoñ meñ baḌī vus.at hai

band āñkhoñ hī se duniyā dekheñ

ghar hai mausam se bachānā mushkil

jānib-e-abr-o-havā kyā dekheñ

itnī dīvār-e-gulistāñ na baḌhāo

ki bayābāñ mirā rastā dekheñ

ab yahī shakl-e-tamannā hai ki ham

umr bhar ḳhvāb-e-tamannā dekheñ

ham bashar haiñ na ki sahrā ke shajar

jo sadā apnā hī saayā dekheñ

kahin sahra mein jo dariya dekhen

hum bhi aaine mein chehra dekhen

hum mohabbat ke liye KHak uDaen

log galiyon mein tamasha dekhen

sabr aa jae agar apna ye haal

jin ki KHatir hai wo tanha dekhen

band aankhon mein baDi wusat hai

band aankhon hi se duniya dekhen

ghar hai mausam se bachana mushkil

jaanib-e-abr-o-hawa kya dekhen

itni diwar-e-gulistan na baDhao

ki bayaban mera rasta dekhen

ab yahi shakl-e-tamanna hai ki hum

umr bhar KHwab-e-tamanna dekhen

hum bashar hain na ki sahra ke shajar

jo sada apna hi saya dekhen
