baiTh jaatā huuñ jahāñ chhāñv ghanī hotī hai

haa.e kyā chiiz ġharīb-ul-vatanī hotī hai

baiTh jata hun jahan chhanw ghani hoti hai

hae kya chiz gharib-ul-watani hoti hai

bosa-e-ruḳhsār par takrār rahne dījiye

lījiye yā dījiye inkār rahne dījiye

bosa-e-ruKHsar par takrar rahne dijiye

lijiye ya dijiye inkar rahne dijiye

tandurustī se to behtar thī mirī bīmārī

vo kabhī pūchh to lete the ki haal achchhā hai

tandurusti se to behtar thi meri bimari

wo kabhi puchh to lete the ki haal achchha hai

hameñ yaad rakhnā hameñ yaad karnā

agar koī taaza sitam yaad aa.e

hamein yaad rakhna hamein yaad karna

agar koi taza sitam yaad aae

aadmī kā aadmī har haal meñ hamdard ho

ik tavajjoh chāhiye insāñ ko insāñ kī taraf

aadmi ka aadmi har haal mein hamdard ho

ek tawajjoh chahiye insan ko insan ki taraf
