ruswa hue zalil hue dar-ba-dar hue
rusvā hue zalīl hue dar-ba-dar hue
haq baat lab pe aa.ī to ham be-hunar hue
kal tak jahāñ meñ jin ko koī pūchhtā na thā
is shahr-e-be-charāġh meñ vo mo'tabar hue
baḌhne lagī haiñ aur zamānoñ kī dūriyāñ
yuuñ fāsle to aaj bahut muḳhtasar hue
dil ke makāñ se ḳhauf ke saa.e na chhaT sake
raste to duur duur talak be-ḳhatar hue
ab ke safar meñ dard ke pahlū ajiib haiñ
jo log ham-ḳhayāl na the ham-safar hue
badlā jo rañg vaqt ne manzar badal ga.e
āhan-misāl log bhī zer-o-zabar hue
ruswa hue zalil hue dar-ba-dar hue
haq baat lab pe aai to hum be-hunar hue
kal tak jahan mein jin ko koi puchhta na tha
is shahr-e-be-charagh mein wo mo'tabar hue
baDhne lagi hain aur zamanon ki duriyan
yun fasle to aaj bahut muKHtasar hue
dil ke makan se KHauf ke sae na chhaT sake
raste to dur dur talak be-KHatar hue
ab ke safar mein dard ke pahlu ajib hain
jo log ham-KHayal na the ham-safar hue
badla jo rang waqt ne manzar badal gae
aahan-misal log bhi zer-o-zabar hue
