koi deta hai kisi ko bhi to kya deta hai

koī detā hai kisī ko bhī to kyā detā hai

dast-e-ehsān ko mīzān pe lā detā hai

koī to sañg-e-lab-e-rāh sā mūnis Thahre

raah kā moḌ jo chupke se batā detā hai

shahr-e-gum-gashta kā vo katba jo hai gard-ālūd

har musāfir use jiine kī duā detā hai

ye mirā ahd hai tāvīl-e-sukūnat de kar

ghar ke darvāze ko dīvār banā detā hai

'qaus' be-sūd nahīñ jaatā hai paanī kā lahū

ye Tapaktā hai to rañgīn fazā detā hai

koi deta hai kisi ko bhi to kya deta hai

dast-e-ehsan ko mizan pe la deta hai

koi to sang-e-lab-e-rah sa munis Thahre

rah ka moD jo chupke se bata deta hai

shahr-e-gum-gashta ka wo katba jo hai gard-alud

har musafir use jine ki dua deta hai

ye mera ahd hai tawil-e-sukunat de kar

ghar ke darwaze ko diwar bana deta hai

'qaus' be-sud nahin jata hai pani ka lahu

ye Tapakta hai to rangin faza deta hai
