dahr meñ ik tire sivā kyā hai

tū nahīñ hai to phir bhalā kyā hai

dahr mein ek tere siwa kya hai

tu nahin hai to phir bhala kya hai

mil hī jā.egī kabhī manzil-e-maqsūd-e-sahar

shart ye hai ki safar karte raho shaam ke saath

mil hi jaegi kabhi manzil-e-maqsud-e-sahar

shart ye hai ki safar karte raho sham ke sath

ek sannāTā thā āvāz na thī aur na javāb

dil meñ itne the savālāt ki ham so na sake

ek sannaTa tha aawaz na thi aur na jawab

dil mein itne the sawalat ki hum so na sake

ye ġham nahīñ ki mujh ko jāgnā paḌā hai umr bhar

ye rañj hai ki mere saare ḳhvāb koī le gayā

ye gham nahin ki mujh ko jagna paDa hai umr bhar

ye ranj hai ki mere sare KHwab koi le gaya

thapkiyāñ dete rahe ThanDī havā ke jhoñke

is qadar jal uThe jazbāt ki ham so na sake

thapkiyan dete rahe ThanDi hawa ke jhonke

is qadar jal uThe jazbaat ki hum so na sake
