ḳhvāb aañsū ehtajājī zindagī

pūchhiye mat shahr-e-kalkatta hai kyā

KHwab aansu ehtajaji zindagi

puchhiye mat shahr-e-kalkatta hai kya

dhuup kaafī duur tak thī raah meñ

lamha lamha ho gayā paikar siyāh

dhup kafi dur tak thi rah mein

lamha lamha ho gaya paikar siyah

sā.ebāñ kyā abr kā TukḌā hai kyā

dhuup to ma.alūm hai saayā hai kyā

saeban kya abr ka TukDa hai kya

dhup to malum hai saya hai kya

kaun detā hai sadā.eñ mujh ko

kis ke hoñToñ kā asar baaqī hai

kaun deta hai sadaen mujh ko

kis ke honTon ka asar baqi hai
