dekhā hai ye parchhā.īñ kī duniyā meñ ki aksar

apne qad-o-qāmat se bhī kuchh log baḌe haiñ

dekha hai ye parchhain ki duniya mein ki aksar

apne qad-o-qamat se bhi kuchh log baDe hain

kise ḳhabar ki guhar kaise haath aate haiñ

samundaroñ se bhī gahrī hai ḳhāmushī merī

kise KHabar ki guhar kaise hath aate hain

samundaron se bhi gahri hai KHamushi meri

maiñ ab bhī raat ga.e us kī guuñj suntā huuñ

vo harf kam thā bahut kam magar sadā thā bahut

main ab bhi raat gae us ki gunj sunta hun

wo harf kam tha bahut kam magar sada tha bahut

ye kyā ki mujh ko chhupāyā hai merī nazroñ se

kabhī to mujh ko mire sāmne bhī laa.e vo

ye kya ki mujh ko chhupaya hai meri nazron se

kabhi to mujh ko mere samne bhi lae wo

zamāna apnī uryānī pe ḳhuuñ ro.egā kab tak

hameñ dekho ki apne aap ko oḌhe hue haiñ

zamana apni uryani pe KHun roega kab tak

hamein dekho ki apne aap ko oDhe hue hain
