ya mah-o-sal ki diwar gira di jae

yā mah-o-sāl kī dīvār girā dī jaa.e

yā mirī ḳhaak ḳhalāoñ meñ uḌā dī jaa.e

kaise āvāz harīm-e-rag-e-jāñ tak pahuñche

itnī duurī se tujhe kaise sadā dī jaa.e

hai to phir kaun hai us oT meñ dekhūñ to sahī

darmiyāñ se ye mirī zaat haTā dī jaa.e

tere bas meñ hai to phir yā mujhe patthar kar de

yā mirī ruuh kī ye pyaas bujhā dī jaa.e

chakhne paa.e na koī buuñd ye jaltī miTTī

abr uTThe to havā tez chalā dī jaa.e

kuchh dinoñ ba.ad use dekhā to dekhā na gayā

jaise ik jaltī huī jot bujhā dī jaa.e

ye lahaktī huī shāḳheñ ye mahaktī beleñ

ye harā kunj yahīñ umr batā dī jaa.e

āḳhir is jañg meñ kuchh merā bhī hissa hai 'bashīr'

mere hisse kī mujhe kyuuñ na ridā dī jaa.e

ya mah-o-sal ki diwar gira di jae

ya meri KHak KHalaon mein uDa di jae

kaise aawaz harim-e-rag-e-jaan tak pahunche

itni duri se tujhe kaise sada di jae

hai to phir kaun hai us oT mein dekhun to sahi

darmiyan se ye meri zat haTa di jae

tere bas mein hai to phir ya mujhe patthar kar de

ya meri ruh ki ye pyas bujha di jae

chakhne pae na koi bund ye jalti miTTi

abr uTThe to hawa tez chala di jae

kuchh dinon baad use dekha to dekha na gaya

jaise ek jalti hui jot bujha di jae

ye lahakti hui shaKHen ye mahakti belen

ye hara kunj yahin umr bata di jae

aaKHir is jang mein kuchh mera bhi hissa hai 'bashir'

mere hisse ki mujhe kyun na rida di jae
