kisi ko yaad kab hoga

kabhī tum ne

kisī chhoTe se bachche ko

sisakte niiñd meñ

bhīgī huī āñkhoñ se dekhā hai

kabhī pūchhā hai ḳhud se bhī

sabab is kā

kabhī sochā hai tum ne

kis liye ma.asūm rotā hai

kyuuñ āñkheñ band apnī jaan khotā hai

khubī tum ne bhī apne bachpane meñ

ḳhvāb bo.e the

kabhī sote meñ ro.e the

tumheñ bhī yaad kab hogā

sar-e-mizhgāñ sitāroñ kā chamaknā aur bikhar jaanā

ba-rū-e-barg-e-gul tahrīr afsāna

kabhi tum ne

kisi chhoTe se bachche ko

sisakte nind mein

bhigi hui aankhon se dekha hai

kabhi puchha hai KHud se bhi

sabab is ka

kabhi socha hai tum ne

kis liye masum rota hai

kyun aankhen band apni jaan khota hai

khubi tum ne bhi apne bachpane mein

KHwab boe the

kabhi sote mein roe the

tumhein bhi yaad kab hoga

sar-e-mizhgan sitaron ka chamakna aur bikhar jaana

ba-ru-e-barg-e-gul tahrir afsana
