lamha lamha roz sañvarne vaalā tū

lamha lamha lamha roz bikharne vaalā maiñ

lamha lamha roz sanwarne wala tu

lamha lamha lamha roz bikharne wala main

ai ḳhāk-e-vatan ab to vafāoñ kā silā de

maiñ TūTtī sāñsoñ kī fasīloñ pe khaḌā huuñ

ai KHak-e-watan ab to wafaon ka sila de

main TuTti sanson ki fasilon pe khaDa hun

muskurāne kī sazā miltī rahī

muskurāne kī ḳhatā karte rahe

muskurane ki saza milti rahi

muskurane ki KHata karte rahe

kitnā mushkil huā javāb mujhe

kitnā āsān thā savāl us kā

kitna mushkil hua jawab mujhe

kitna aasan tha sawal us ka

maiñ hāthoñ meñ ḳhanjar le kar soch rahā huuñ

lauTūñgā to merā bhī ghar zaḳhmī hogā

main hathon mein KHanjar le kar soch raha hun

lauTunga to mera bhi ghar zaKHmi hoga
