ghar to kyā ghar kā nishāñ bhī nahīñ baaqī 'safdar'

ab vatan meñ kabhī jā.eñge to mehmāñ hoñge

ghar to kya ghar ka nishan bhi nahin baqi 'safdar'

ab watan mein kabhi jaenge to mehman honge

ik nigāh-e-ġhalat-andāz sahī

dil kī āḳhir koī qīmat hogī

ek nigah-e-ghalat-andaz sahi

dil ki aaKHir koi qimat hogi

zarā vo ḳhaak meñ milne na de ḳhūn-e-shahīdāñ ko

ḳhudā taufīq de itnī zamīn-e-kū-e-jānāñ ko

zara wo KHak mein milne na de KHun-e-shahidan ko

KHuda taufiq de itni zamin-e-ku-e-jaanan ko

jaur-e-aflāk kī shirkat kī zarūrat kyā hai

aap kaafī haiñ zamāne ko satāne ke liye

jaur-e-aflak ki shirkat ki zarurat kya hai

aap kafi hain zamane ko satane ke liye

qīmat-e-jins-e-vafā nīm-nigāhī tauba

aisī bāteñ na kareñ aap ki saudā na bane

qimat-e-jins-e-wafa nim-nigahi tauba

aisi baaten na karen aap ki sauda na bane
