sab zarurat ka to saman hai ghar mein rahiye

sab zarūrat kā to sāmān hai ghar meñ rahiye

kyā huā gar koī halkān hai ghar meñ rahiye

bhiiḌ meñ bhī na the siine se lagāne vaale

aaj to shahr hī vīrān hai ghar meñ rahiye

saañs ghuT jā.egī dīvāroñ ke ke andar ik din

aur sunte haiñ ki darmān hai ghar meñ rahiye

band haiñ mandir o masjid kī dukāneñ saarī

aaj bāzār ye sunsān hai ghar meñ rahiye

kal talak mulk se bāhar jo kiye dete the

ab to un kā bhī ye farmān hai ghar meñ rahiye

har maraz meñ nahīñ hotī hai suhūlat itnī

bhuuk se marnā to āsān hai ghar meñ rahiye

qaid phir qaid hī hotī hai magar hasb-e-hāl

sab se behtar yahī zindān hai ghar meñ rahiye

aap dil se mujhe be-daḳhl kiye dete haiñ

ab to sarkār kā elaan hai ghar meñ rahiye

us kī tasvīr in āñkhoñ ke liye kaafī hai

aur phir miir kā dīvān hai ghar meñ rahiye

sab zarurat ka to saman hai ghar mein rahiye

kya hua gar koi halkan hai ghar mein rahiye

bhiD mein bhi na the sine se lagane wale

aaj to shahr hi viran hai ghar mein rahiye

sans ghuT jaegi diwaron ke ke andar ek din

aur sunte hain ki darman hai ghar mein rahiye

band hain mandir o masjid ki dukanen sari

aaj bazar ye sunsan hai ghar mein rahiye

kal talak mulk se bahar jo kiye dete the

ab to un ka bhi ye farman hai ghar mein rahiye

har maraz mein nahin hoti hai suhulat itni

bhuk se marna to aasan hai ghar mein rahiye

qaid phir qaid hi hoti hai magar hasb-e-haal

sab se behtar yahi zindan hai ghar mein rahiye

aap dil se mujhe be-daKHl kiye dete hain

ab to sarkar ka elan hai ghar mein rahiye

us ki taswir in aankhon ke liye kafi hai

aur phir mir ka diwan hai ghar mein rahiye
