badan ke shahar meñ ābād ik darinda hai

agarche dekhne meñ kitnā ḳhush-libās bhī hai

badan ke shahar mein aabaad ek darinda hai

agarche dekhne mein kitna KHush-libas bhi hai

tamām umr guzar jaatī hai kabhī pal meñ

kabhī to ek hī lamha basar nahīñ hotā

tamam umr guzar jati hai kabhi pal mein

kabhi to ek hi lamha basar nahin hota

hameñ har aane vaalā zaḳhm-e-tāza de ke jaatā hai

hamāre chāñd sūraj aur sitāre ek jaise haiñ

hamein har aane wala zaKHm-e-taza de ke jata hai

hamare chand suraj aur sitare ek jaise hain
