kisi taur duniya Thikane lagi

kisī taur duniyā Thikāne lagī

to andar kī duniyā nachāne lagī

ga.e the ki iz.hār kar deñge aaj

vo shādī kā joḌā dikhāne lagī

bahut duur Duubā hai koī jahāz

merī naav kyoñ Dagmagāne lagī

kahā maut se maiñ ne kab aa.egī

vo apnī hathelī dikhāne lagī

havā ne charāġhoñ se kī mā'zarat

magar jab 'adālat se jaane lagī

ḳhizāñ peḌ se khel kar thak ga.ī

to patte havā meñ uḌāne lagī

ba-mushkil khulā thā zarā āsmāñ

to andar se bauchhār aane lagī

ye laḌkī to dil jiit legī merā

tumhārī tarah muskurāne lagī

kisi taur duniya Thikane lagi

to andar ki duniya nachane lagi

gae the ki izhaar kar denge aaj

wo shadi ka joDa dikhane lagi

bahut dur Duba hai koi jahaz

meri naw kyon Dagmagane lagi

kaha maut se main ne kab aaegi

wo apni hatheli dikhane lagi

hawa ne charaghon se ki ma'zarat

magar jab 'adalat se jaane lagi

KHizan peD se khel kar thak gai

to patte hawa mein uDane lagi

ba-mushkil khula tha zara aasman

to andar se bauchhaar aane lagi

ye laDki to dil jit legi mera

tumhaari tarah muskurane lagi
