ret sa din hai raat muTThi bhar

ret sā din hai raat muTThī bhar

aadmī kī bisāt muTThī bhar

rab kī kūza-garī kā afsūñ hai

ham sabhī kī hayāt muTThī bhar

ek musht-e-ġhubār hai hastī

aur ye kā.enāt muTThī bhar

had se be-had ḳhudā kī rahmat hai

aur apnī zakāt muTThī bhar

saare din kī thakan ke badle meñ

haath aa.ī hai raat muTThī bhar

log kahte haiñ zindagī jis ko

ḳhvāhishoñ kī barāt muTThī bhar

hijr ke din tavīl kitne haiñ

aur ye vasl-e-rāt muTThī bhar

talḳhiyāñ be-shumār haiñ 'armān'

aur lutf-e-nashāt muTThī bhar

ret sa din hai raat muTThi bhar

aadmi ki bisat muTThi bhar

rab ki kuza-gari ka afsun hai

hum sabhi ki hayat muTThi bhar

ek musht-e-ghubar hai hasti

aur ye kaenat muTThi bhar

had se be-had KHuda ki rahmat hai

aur apni zakat muTThi bhar

sare din ki thakan ke badle mein

hath aai hai raat muTThi bhar

log kahte hain zindagi jis ko

KHwahishon ki baraat muTThi bhar

hijr ke din tawil kitne hain

aur ye wasl-e-raat muTThi bhar

talKHiyan be-shumar hain 'arman'

aur lutf-e-nashat muTThi bhar
