koi be-jaan koi be-ghar nahin dekha jata

koī be-jāñ koī be-ghar nahīñ dekhā jaatā

roz tarrāra-e-mahshar nahīñ dekhā jaatā

chhīn le hairat-e-nazzāra ye bīnā.ī bhī

aañkh hotī hai to manzar nahīñ dekhā jaatā

be-hisī shart hai jiine ke liye ye duniyā

ḳham-e-abru hai ki ḳhanjar nahīñ dekhā jaatā

dekhiye ḳhusravī-o-munsafī-o-dād-rasī

tāj-o-taḳht-o-zar-o-lashkar nahīñ dekhā jaatā

khel bachchoñ kā nahīñ sho.ala-e-sad-ḳhirman hai

gul-e-ḳhūbī hai to chhūkar nahīñ dekhā jaatā

diid kī shab thī ki butlān thā us da.ave kā

raat meñ mehr-e-munavvar nahīñ dekhā jaatā

koi be-jaan koi be-ghar nahin dekha jata

roz tarrara-e-mahshar nahin dekha jata

chhin le hairat-e-nazzara ye binai bhi

aankh hoti hai to manzar nahin dekha jata

be-hisi shart hai jine ke liye ye duniya

KHam-e-abru hai ki KHanjar nahin dekha jata

dekhiye KHusrawi-o-munsafi-o-dad-rasi

taj-o-taKHt-o-zar-o-lashkar nahin dekha jata

khel bachchon ka nahin shoala-e-sad-KHirman hai

gul-e-KHubi hai to chhukar nahin dekha jata

did ki shab thi ki butlan tha us dawe ka

raat mein mehr-e-munawwar nahin dekha jata
