tu jo chahe bhi to sayyaad nahin hone ke
tū jo chāhe bhī to sayyād nahīñ hone ke
lab hamāre lab-e-fariyād nahīñ hone ke
us ke kūche meñ miyāñ ḳhaak uḌāte kyuuñ ho
tum se majnūñ to use yaad nahīñ hone ke
koī achchhī bhī ḳhabar kaan meñ aa.e yārab
aisī ḳhabroñ se to dil shaad nahīñ hone ke
tū rahe ham se ḳhafā kitnā hī chāhe lekin
ham magar tujh se to nāshād nahīñ hone ke
kār-e-duniyā ko haiñ darkār hamārī umreñ
kār-e-duniyā se to āzād nahīñ hone ke
an-ginat jāgte chehre ga.e miTTī ke tale
ab na.e zulm to ījād nahīñ hone ke
tā-qayāmat vahī ik naam rahegā ābād
ham kabhī mustaqil ābād nahīñ hone ke
ḳhaak ho jā.eñge ye to hai muqaddar apnā
ham magar vo haiñ ki barbād nahīñ hone ke
chāhe namrūd ho fir.aun ho yā ki ho yazīd
sāhab-e-shajra-o-aulād nahīñ hone ke
tu jo chahe bhi to sayyaad nahin hone ke
lab hamare lab-e-fariyaad nahin hone ke
us ke kuche mein miyan KHak uDate kyun ho
tum se majnun to use yaad nahin hone ke
koi achchhi bhi KHabar kan mein aae yarab
aisi KHabron se to dil shad nahin hone ke
tu rahe hum se KHafa kitna hi chahe lekin
hum magar tujh se to nashad nahin hone ke
kar-e-duniya ko hain darkar hamari umren
kar-e-duniya se to aazad nahin hone ke
an-ginat jagte chehre gae miTTi ke tale
ab nae zulm to ijad nahin hone ke
ta-qayamat wahi ek nam rahega aabaad
hum kabhi mustaqil aabaad nahin hone ke
KHak ho jaenge ye to hai muqaddar apna
hum magar wo hain ki barbaad nahin hone ke
chahe namrud ho firaun ho ya ki ho yazid
sahab-e-shajra-o-aulad nahin hone ke
