KHushk dariyaon ko pani de KHuda

ḳhushk dariyāoñ ko paanī de ḳhudā

bādbānoñ ko ravānī de ḳhudā

be-samā.at kar de saare shahr ko

yā mujhe phir be-zabānī de ḳhudā

kab talak be-mo.jaza ho kar jiyūñ

koī to apnī nishānī de ḳhudā

chhūT jā.ūñ vus.atoñ kī qaid se

vahshatoñ ko lā-makānī de ḳhudā

saikaḌoñ ham-zād haiñ mere yahāñ

mujh ko lekin merā saanī de ḳhudā

KHushk dariyaon ko pani de KHuda

baadbanon ko rawani de KHuda

be-samaat kar de sare shahr ko

ya mujhe phir be-zabani de KHuda

kab talak be-mojaza ho kar jiyun

koi to apni nishani de KHuda

chhuT jaun wusaton ki qaid se

wahshaton ko la-makani de KHuda

saikaDon ham-zad hain mere yahan

mujh ko lekin mera sani de KHuda
