phul pe dhul babul pe shabnam dekhne wale dekhta ja
phuul pe dhuul babūl pe shabnam dekhne vaale dekhtā jā
ab hai yahī insāf kā aalam dekhne vaale dekhtā jā
parvānoñ kī raakh uḌā dī bād-e-sahar ke jhoñkoñ ne
sham.a banī hai paikar-e-mātam dekhne vaale dekhtā jā
jām-ba-jām lagī haiñ mohreñ mai-ḳhānoñ par pahre haiñ
rotī hai barsāt chhamā-chham dekhne vaale dekhtā jā
is nagrī ke rāj-dulāre ek tarah kab rahte haiñ
Dhalte saa.e badalte mausam dekhne vaale dekhtā jā
maslahatoñ kī dhuul jamī hai ukhḌe ukhḌe qadmoñ par
jhijak jhijak kar uḌte parcham dekhne vaale dekhtā jā
ek purānā madfan jis meñ dafn haiñ lākhoñ ummīdeñ
chhalnī chhalnī sīna-e-ādam dekhne vaale dekhtā jā
ek tirā hī dil nahīñ ghāyal dard ke maare aur bhī haiñ
kuchh apnā kuchh duniyā kā ġham dekhne vaale dekhtā jā
kam-nazroñ kī is duniyā meñ der bhī hai andher bhī hai
pathrāyā har dīda-e-pur-nam dekhne vaale dekhtā jā
phul pe dhul babul pe shabnam dekhne wale dekhta ja
ab hai yahi insaf ka aalam dekhne wale dekhta ja
parwanon ki rakh uDa di baad-e-sahar ke jhonkon ne
shama bani hai paikar-e-matam dekhne wale dekhta ja
jam-ba-jam lagi hain mohren mai-KHanon par pahre hain
roti hai barsat chhama-chham dekhne wale dekhta ja
is nagri ke raj-dulare ek tarah kab rahte hain
Dhalte sae badalte mausam dekhne wale dekhta ja
maslahaton ki dhul jami hai ukhDe ukhDe qadmon par
jhijak jhijak kar uDte parcham dekhne wale dekhta ja
ek purana madfan jis mein dafn hain lakhon ummiden
chhalni chhalni sina-e-adam dekhne wale dekhta ja
ek tera hi dil nahin ghayal dard ke mare aur bhi hain
kuchh apna kuchh duniya ka gham dekhne wale dekhta ja
kam-nazron ki is duniya mein der bhi hai andher bhi hai
pathraya har dida-e-pur-nam dekhne wale dekhta ja
