agar shu.ūr na ho to bahisht hai duniyā

baḌe azaab meñ guzrī hai āgahī ke saath

agar shuur na ho to bahisht hai duniya

baDe azab mein guzri hai aagahi ke sath

hameñ ḳhabar hai zan-e-fāhisha hai ye duniyā

so ham bhī saath ise be-nikāh rakhte haiñ

hamein KHabar hai zan-e-fahisha hai ye duniya

so hum bhi sath ise be-nikah rakhte hain

mere suḳhan kī daad bhī us ko hī dījiye

vo jis kī aarzū mujhe shā.er banā ga.ī

mere suKHan ki dad bhi us ko hi dijiye

wo jis ki aarzu mujhe shaer bana gai

tum ne kahā thā chup rahnā so chup ne bhī kyā kaam kiyā

chup rahne kī aadat ne kuchh aur hameñ badnām kiyā

tum ne kaha tha chup rahna so chup ne bhi kya kaam kiya

chup rahne ki aadat ne kuchh aur hamein badnam kiya

dil ke ujḌe nagar ko kar ābād

is Dagar ko bhī koī raahī de

dil ke ujDe nagar ko kar aabaad

is Dagar ko bhi koi rahi de
