mere sheroñ se mirī umr kā andāza kar

mujh se mat pūchh mirā yaum-e-vilādat kyā hai

mere sheron se meri umr ka andaza kar

mujh se mat puchh mera yaum-e-wiladat kya hai

bārah ghanToñ kī hai ik raat jo Taltī hī nahīñ

hijr bhī ain december meñ milā hai mujh ko

barah ghanTon ki hai ek raat jo Talti hi nahin

hijr bhi ain december mein mila hai mujh ko

maiñ nahīñ māntā kāġhaz pe likhā shajra-e-nasab

baat karne se qabīle kā pata chaltā hai

main nahin manta kaghaz pe likha shajra-e-nasab

baat karne se qabile ka pata chalta hai

beTe masrūf rahe maal ke baTvāre meñ

beTiyāñ baap kī mayyat se lipaT kar roiiñ

beTe masruf rahe mal ke baTware mein

beTiyan bap ki mayyat se lipaT kar roin

zulm bhī sharmā rahā hai adl kī mīzān se

kuud jaanā chāhiye mīnār-e-pākistān se

zulm bhi sharma raha hai adl ki mizan se

kud jaana chahiye minar-e-pakistan se
