koi jugnu ya sitara ya qamar kuchh to bana

koī jugnū yā sitārā yā qamar kuchh to banā

raat hone vaalī hai tārīk-tar kuchh to banā

dukh kā bādal hī sahī ġham kā samundar hī sahī

kam se kam is baar tā-hadd-e-nazar kuchh to banā

duur hai manzil bahut aur rāstā sunsān hai

dil lagāne ke liye ai ham-safar kuchh to banā

ai nigāh-e-nāz tū jalve dikhā apne kabhī

siine meñ nāsūr yā zaḳhm-e-jigar kuchh to banā

varna 'sonam' ek din ye rā.egāñ ho jā.egā

tū kabhī to aazmā apnā hunar kuchh to banā

koi jugnu ya sitara ya qamar kuchh to bana

raat hone wali hai tarik-tar kuchh to bana

dukh ka baadal hi sahi gham ka samundar hi sahi

kam se kam is bar ta-hadd-e-nazar kuchh to bana

dur hai manzil bahut aur rasta sunsan hai

dil lagane ke liye ai ham-safar kuchh to bana

ai nigah-e-naz tu jalwe dikha apne kabhi

sine mein nasur ya zaKHm-e-jigar kuchh to bana

warna 'sonam' ek din ye raegan ho jaega

tu kabhi to aazma apna hunar kuchh to bana
