kaho husn-e-jamāl-yār se ye itnī saj-dhaj kyoñ

bharī barsāt meñ paudoñ ko paanī kaun detā hai

kaho husn-e-jamal-yar se ye itni saj-dhaj kyon

bhari barsat mein paudon ko pani kaun deta hai

husn kī devī banī baiThī haiñ dil hai but-kada

chand muslim laḌkiyoñ ne ham ko hindū kar diyā

husn ki dewi bani baiThi hain dil hai but-kada

chand muslim laDkiyon ne hum ko hindu kar diya

ḳhūñ-bahā dete haiñ zālim taḳht paane ke liye

log kitnā gir ga.e ḳhud ko uThāne ke liye

KHun-baha dete hain zalim taKHt pane ke liye

log kitna gir gae KHud ko uThane ke liye

jab kamsin se ishq laḌānā paḌtā hai

bachchoñ jaisā paaTh paḌhānā paḌtā hai

jab kamsin se ishq laDana paDta hai

bachchon jaisa paTh paDhana paDta hai

zillat se to behtar hai ki ik jang laḌo tum

yuuñ haar bhī jāoge to buzdil na rahoge

zillat se to behtar hai ki ek jang laDo tum

yun haar bhi jaoge to buzdil na rahoge
