ye kis liye ai zamāne tirī kare taqlīd

'shajar' kā rizq-e-suḳhan karbalā se aatā hai

ye kis liye ai zamane teri kare taqlid

'shajar' ka rizq-e-suKHan karbala se aata hai

ham ne bhī zulmatoñ ko miTāyā hai apne taur

sūraj ke saath saath hamārā diyā bhī hai

hum ne bhi zulmaton ko miTaya hai apne taur

suraj ke sath sath hamara diya bhi hai

diyā diye kā ise tum ne naam hai yaaro

vagarna ye to mirī jhoñpaḌī kā sūraj hai

diya diye ka ise tum ne nam hai yaro

wagarna ye to meri jhonpaDi ka suraj hai

gadā-e-shāh-e-najaf huuñ so mere kaase se

jahāñ ko charḳh-e-suḳhan ke sabhī pate mileñge

gada-e-shah-e-najaf hun so mere kase se

jahan ko charKH-e-suKHan ke sabhi pate milenge

kaun le dād-e-masīhā.ī mire zaḳhmoñ se

aur hai kaun mire shahr meñ tere jaisā

kaun le dad-e-masihai mere zaKHmon se

aur hai kaun mere shahr mein tere jaisa
