masrūf ham bhī anjuman-ārā.iyoñ meñ the

ghar jal rahā thā log tamāshā.iyoñ meñ the

masruf hum bhi anjuman-araiyon mein the

ghar jal raha tha log tamashaiyon mein the

ye saal tūl-e-masāfat se chuur chuur gayā

ye ek saal to guzrā hai ik sadī kī tarah

ye sal tul-e-masafat se chur chur gaya

ye ek sal to guzra hai ek sadi ki tarah

sulag rahā huuñ ḳhud apnī hī aag meñ kab se

ye mashġhala to mire dard kī asaas na thā

sulag raha hun KHud apni hi aag mein kab se

ye mashghala to mere dard ki asas na tha

anjāne logoñ ko har sū chaltā phirtā dekh rahā huuñ

kaisī bhiiḌ hai phir bhī ḳhud ko tanhā tanhā dekh rahā huuñ

anjaane logon ko har su chalta phirta dekh raha hun

kaisi bhiD hai phir bhi KHud ko tanha tanha dekh raha hun
