kaise sham-o-sahar ho gae

kaise shām-o-sahar ho ga.e

ham idhar tum udhar ho ga.e

aap jo ham-safar ho ga.e

rāste muḳhtasar ho ga.e

chhoḌ kar āstāna tirā

jaane kyoñ dar-ba-dar ho ga.e

ham samajhte the be-bāl-o-par

ham na hoñge magar ho ga.e

e.atibār-e-masarrat kahāñ

dard-o-ġham mo'atabar ho ga.e

kyā batā.eñ kaTī kaise shab

kis tarah din basar ho ga.e

kaise sham-o-sahar ho gae

hum idhar tum udhar ho gae

aap jo ham-safar ho gae

raste muKHtasar ho gae

chhoD kar aastana tera

jaane kyon dar-ba-dar ho gae

hum samajhte the be-baal-o-par

hum na honge magar ho gae

eatibar-e-masarrat kahan

dard-o-gham mo'atabar ho gae

kya bataen kaTi kaise shab

kis tarah din basar ho gae
