ujala kaisa ujale ka KHwab la na sake
ujālā kaisā ujāle kā ḳhvāb lā na sake
sahar se maañg ke ham āftāb lā na sake
ham apne chehra-e-be-dāġh ke liye ai aql
tirī dukān se koī naqāb lā na sake
jo chāñd par bhī ga.e ham to ḳhaak hī laa.e
zamīñ kī nazr ko ik āftāb lā na sake
ga.e to the tire jalvoñ ko jāñchne lekin
bachā ke ham nazar-e-intiḳhāb lā na sake
zamīñ kī baat zamīñ kī zabāñ meñ kahnā thī
ham āsmān se koī kitāb lā na sake
ujala kaisa ujale ka KHwab la na sake
sahar se mang ke hum aaftab la na sake
hum apne chehra-e-be-dagh ke liye ai aql
teri dukan se koi naqab la na sake
jo chand par bhi gae hum to KHak hi lae
zamin ki nazr ko ek aaftab la na sake
gae to the tere jalwon ko jaanchne lekin
bacha ke hum nazar-e-intiKHab la na sake
zamin ki baat zamin ki zaban mein kahna thi
hum aasman se koi kitab la na sake
