shauq meñ pahnī thī bas zanjīr kyā mā'lūm thā

beḌiyoñ kī shakl le legī ye nāgin ek din

shauq mein pahni thi bas zanjir kya ma'lum tha

beDiyon ki shakl le legi ye nagin ek din

kahte haiñ aise vaqt meñ vājib hai jhuuT bhī

tū jhuuT koī bol ki dil phir se jī uThe

kahte hain aise waqt mein wajib hai jhuT bhi

tu jhuT koi bol ki dil phir se ji uThe

nashsha-e-hosh chaḌhā jaatā hai rafta rafta

zindagī phir se huī jaatī hai mub.ham mub.ham

nashsha-e-hosh chaDha jata hai rafta rafta

zindagi phir se hui jati hai mubham mubham

shamshīr ba-kaf huuñ na koī jism meñ jumbish

maiñ kis ke muqābil huuñ ki maarā nahīñ jaatā

shamshir ba-kaf hun na koi jism mein jumbish

main kis ke muqabil hun ki mara nahin jata

ye saare zaḳhmī gūñge haiñ

ye saarī duniyā andhī hai

ye sare zaKHmi gunge hain

ye sari duniya andhi hai
