ye zulfon ka mahal gumbad-numa malum hota hai

ye zulfoñ kā mahal gumbad-numā ma.alūm hotā hai

tire sar par kisī kā maqbara ma.alūm hotā hai

mizāj-e-yār mausam kī tarah fauran badaltā hai

ye inglistān kī āb-o-havā ma.alūm hotā hai

kabhī sūraj nahīñ Duubā tumhāre husn-e-tābāñ kā

ye sābiq daulat-e-bartāniya ma.alūm hotā hai

hamesha merī qismat meñ hai africa kī tārīkī

ye terā sāya-e-zulf-e-dotā ma.alūm hotā hai

tumhāre husn kī duniyā hai merā dil huā raushan

adū jal jal ke jaise ko.elā ma.alūm hotā hai

mirī āñkhoñ se dariyā bah rahe haiñ terī furqat meñ

aur is paanī meñ bulbul bulbula ma.alūm hotā hai

ye zulfon ka mahal gumbad-numa malum hota hai

tere sar par kisi ka maqbara malum hota hai

mizaj-e-yar mausam ki tarah fauran badalta hai

ye inglistan ki aab-o-hawa malum hota hai

kabhi suraj nahin Duba tumhaare husn-e-taban ka

ye sabiq daulat-e-bartaniya malum hota hai

hamesha meri qismat mein hai africa ki tariki

ye tera saya-e-zulf-e-dota malum hota hai

tumhaare husn ki duniya hai mera dil hua raushan

adu jal jal ke jaise koela malum hota hai

meri aankhon se dariya bah rahe hain teri furqat mein

aur is pani mein bulbul bulbula malum hota hai
