kali kali ke baja raazdar hain hum log
kalī kalī ke bajā rāzdār haiñ ham log
chaman ko faḳhr hai jin par vo ḳhaar haiñ ham log
lahū se apne gulistāñ ko sabza-zār kiyā
bahut ḳhulūs ke ā.īna-dār haiñ ham log
haqīr jaan ke Thukrā rahe haiñ ahl-e-chaman
chaman meñ apnī jagah ḳhud bahār haiñ ham log
kuchh aisā gardish-e-daurāñ kā dekhte haiñ fusūñ
ki aaj ahl-e-gulistāñ pe baar haiñ ham log
sitam ye hai ki zamāne kā ġham uThāne par
qarār paate nahīñ be-qarār haiñ ham log
yahī hai dāvat-e-aish-o-nishāt roz-o-shab
ḳhushī kā zikr nahīñ ashk-bār haiñ ham log
hamāre ahd-e-guzishta kī dekhiye tārīḳh
ḳhud apnī shaan meñ zī-iftiḳhār haiñ ham log
qadam qadam pe masā.ib uThā rahe haiñ 'ḳhizr'
ḳhudā-gavāh ki phir ġham-gusār haiñ ham log
kali kali ke baja raazdar hain hum log
chaman ko faKHr hai jin par wo KHar hain hum log
lahu se apne gulistan ko sabza-zar kiya
bahut KHulus ke aaina-dar hain hum log
haqir jaan ke Thukra rahe hain ahl-e-chaman
chaman mein apni jagah KHud bahaar hain hum log
kuchh aisa gardish-e-dauran ka dekhte hain fusun
ki aaj ahl-e-gulistan pe bar hain hum log
sitam ye hai ki zamane ka gham uThane par

KHud apni shan mein zi-iftiKHar hain hum log
qadam qadam pe masaib uTha rahe hain 'KHizr'
KHuda-gawah ki phir gham-gusar hain hum log
