tū ye na pūchh mire gaañv meñ haiñ ghar kitne

ye pūchh kaun se ghar meñ azaab kitne haiñ

tu ye na puchh mere ganw mein hain ghar kitne

ye puchh kaun se ghar mein azab kitne hain

phuul to kyā ḳhaar bhī manzūr haiñ

be-ruḳhī se yuuñ magar pheñko nahīñ

phul to kya KHar bhi manzur hain

be-ruKHi se yun magar phenko nahin

josh-e-takmīl-e-tamannā hai ḳhudā ḳhair kare

ḳhaak hone kā andesha hai ḳhudā ḳhair kare

josh-e-takmil-e-tamanna hai KHuda KHair kare

KHak hone ka andesha hai KHuda KHair kare

bhūle se aa gayā huuñ farishtoñ ke des meñ

kis se pata karūñ ki yahāñ fard kaun hai

bhule se aa gaya hun farishton ke des mein

kis se pata karun ki yahan fard kaun hai

shāyad nikal hī aa.e koī chāragar 'figār'

ik baar aur dekh sadā kar ke shahr meñ

shayad nikal hi aae koi chaaragar 'figar'

ek bar aur dekh sada kar ke shahr mein
