wo ek nam jo dariya bhi hai kinara bhi

vo ek naam jo dariyā bhī hai kinārā bhī

rahā hai us se bahut rābta hamārā bhī

chaman vahī ki jahāñ par laboñ ke phuul khileñ

badan vahī ki jahāñ raat ho gavārā bhī

hameñ bhī lamha-e-ruḳhsat se haul aatā hai

judā huā hai koī mehrbāñ hamārā bhī

alāmat-e-shajar-e-sāya-dār bhī vo jism

ḳharābi-e-dil-o-dīda kā isti.āra bhī

ufuq thakan kī ridā meñ lipaTtā jaatā hai

so ham bhī chup haiñ aur is shaam kā sitārā bhī

wo ek nam jo dariya bhi hai kinara bhi

raha hai us se bahut rabta hamara bhi

chaman wahi ki jahan par labon ke phul khilen

badan wahi ki jahan raat ho gawara bhi

hamein bhi lamha-e-ruKHsat se haul aata hai

juda hua hai koi mehrban hamara bhi

alamat-e-shajar-e-saya-dar bhi wo jism

KHarabi-e-dil-o-dida ka istiara bhi

ufuq thakan ki rida mein lipaTta jata hai

so hum bhi chup hain aur is sham ka sitara bhi
