bachpan meñ ham hī the yā thā aur koī

vahshat sī hone lagtī hai yādoñ se

bachpan mein hum hi the ya tha aur koi

wahshat si hone lagti hai yaadon se

dost ahbāb se lene na sahāre jaanā

dil jo ghabrā.e samundar ke kināre jaanā

dost ahbab se lene na sahaare jaana

dil jo ghabrae samundar ke kinare jaana

muflisī bhuuk ko shahvat se milā detī hai

gandumī lams meñ hai zā.iqa-e-nān-e-javīñ

muflisi bhuk ko shahwat se mila deti hai

gandumi lams mein hai zaiqa-e-nan-e-jawin

niiñd miTTī kī mahak sabze kī ThanDak

mujh ko apnā ghar bahut yaad aa rahā hai

nind miTTi ki mahak sabze ki ThanDak

mujh ko apna ghar bahut yaad aa raha hai

sher achchhe bhī kaho sach bhī kaho kam bhī kaho

dard kī daulat-e-nāyāb ko rusvā na karo

sher achchhe bhi kaho sach bhi kaho kam bhi kaho

dard ki daulat-e-nayab ko ruswa na karo
