ulfat kā hai maza ki 'asar' ġham bhī saath hoñ

tārīkiyāñ bhī saath raheñ raushnī ke saath

ulfat ka hai maza ki 'asar' gham bhi sath hon

tarikiyan bhi sath rahen raushni ke sath

kitnā mushkil hai ḳhud-baḳhud ronā

be-ḳhudī se rihā kare koī

kitna mushkil hai KHud-baKHud rona

be-KHudi se riha kare koi

hai ajab sī kashmakash dil meñ 'asar'

kis ko bhūleñ kis ko rakkheñ yaad ham

hai ajab si kashmakash dil mein 'asar'

kis ko bhulen kis ko rakkhen yaad hum

fikr-e-jahān dard-e-mohabbat firāq-e-yār

kyā kahiye kitne ġham haiñ mirī zindagī ke saath

fikr-e-jahan dard-e-mohabbat firaq-e-yar

kya kahiye kitne gham hain meri zindagi ke sath

zindagī ik na.ī raah par

be-irāda hī chalne lagī

zindagi ek nai rah par

be-irada hi chalne lagi
