KHwahish-e-diwar-o-dar hai apna ghar hote hue

ḳhvāhish-e-dīvār-o-dar hai apnā ghar hote hue

be-samar haiñ apnī shāḳhoñ par samar hote hue

log saa.e aur shajar se is qadar bezār haiñ

shāḳh ko bhī kāTte haiñ shāḳh par hote hue

ik azāb-e-ḳhauf-e-be-samtī bhī in āñkhoñ meñ hai

apnī manzil aur apnī rahguzar hote hue

jā.egī āḳhir kahāñ vīrān lamhoñ kī ye gard

merā ghar hote hue yā merā sar hote hue

be-sitāra āsmāñ se raushnī kyā māñgte

ik diyā aur ek jugnū haath par hote hue

log ḳhāmoshī se apne sāmne dekhā kiye

mo'atabar bātoñ ko bhī nā-mo'tabar hote hue

KHwahish-e-diwar-o-dar hai apna ghar hote hue

be-samar hain apni shaKHon par samar hote hue

log sae aur shajar se is qadar bezar hain

shaKH ko bhi kaTte hain shaKH par hote hue

ek azab-e-KHauf-e-be-samti bhi in aankhon mein hai

apni manzil aur apni rahguzar hote hue

jaegi aaKHir kahan viran lamhon ki ye gard

mera ghar hote hue ya mera sar hote hue

be-sitara aasman se raushni kya mangte

ek diya aur ek jugnu hath par hote hue

log KHamoshi se apne samne dekha kiye

mo'atabar baaton ko bhi na-mo'tabar hote hue
