zamīñ par ghar banāyā hai magar jannat meñ rahte haiñ

zamin par ghar banaya hai magar jannat mein rahte hain

hamari KHush-nasibi hai ki hum bhaarat mein rahte hain

mujhe jis haal meñ chhoḌā usī hālat meñ pāogī

baḌī īmān-dārī se tumhārā hijr kaaTā hai

mujhe jis haal mein chhoDa usi haalat mein paogi

baDi iman-dari se tumhaara hijr kaTa hai

'aql aur 'ishq laḌte rahe der tak

'aql maarī ga.ī 'ishq zinda rahā

'aql aur 'ishq laDte rahe der tak

'aql mari gai 'ishq zinda raha

tum mujhe apnī qasam de kar kaho

'āfrīdī' aap cigarette chhoḌ deñ

tum mujhe apni qasam de kar kaho

'afridi' aap cigarette chhoD den

tumhāre husn ko kab tak varaq varaq paḌhte

so ek raat meñ puurī kitāb paḌh Daalī

tumhaare husn ko kab tak waraq waraq paDhte

so ek raat mein puri kitab paDh Dali

vo kuchh ġhalat nahīñ thā hamīñ bevaqūf the

shīshe ko saaf karte rahe is taraf se ham

wo kuchh ghalat nahin tha hamin bewaquf the

shishe ko saf karte rahe is taraf se hum

jab tumhārī ye mātamī āñkheñ

muskurātī haiñ shor thamtā hai

jab tumhaari ye matami aankhen

muskuraati hain shor thamta hai

us kī maġhrūr havā tez qadam chaltī rahī

lau laraztī hī rahī merī pashemānī kī

us ki maghrur hawa tez qadam chalti rahi

lau larazti hi rahi meri pashemani ki
