KHud ko sharminda-e-be-dad kiya hai kis ne

ḳhud ko sharminda-e-be-dād kiyā hai kis ne

aaj bhūle se mujhe yaad kiyā hai kis ne

kis ne pahlū meñ ye āhista se chuTkī lī hai

dil ko majbūr ba-fariyād kiyā hai kis ne

zindagī ko to samajhtā huuñ maiñ ik jaur-e-azīm

kyā ḳhabar ye sitam ījād kiyā hai kis ne

hai jo ehsān to kuchh hasrat jāved kā hai

varna pās-e-dil-e-nāshād kiyā hai kis ne

daad har samt se miltī hai 'munavvar' ko bajā

itnā ūñchā sar-e-ajdād kiyā hai kis ne

KHud ko sharminda-e-be-dad kiya hai kis ne

aaj bhule se mujhe yaad kiya hai kis ne

kis ne pahlu mein ye aahista se chuTki li hai

dil ko majbur ba-fariyaad kiya hai kis ne

zindagi ko to samajhta hun main ek jaur-e-azim

kya KHabar ye sitam ijad kiya hai kis ne

hai jo ehsan to kuchh hasrat jawed ka hai

warna pas-e-dil-e-nashad kiya hai kis ne

dad har samt se milti hai 'munawwar' ko baja

itna uncha sar-e-ajdad kiya hai kis ne
