duniyā sabab-e-shorish-e-ġham pūchh rahī hai
ik mohr-e-ḳhamoshī hai ki hoñToñ pe lagī hai

kuchh aur ziyāda asar-e-tishna-labī hai
jab se tirī āñkhoñ se chhalaktī huī pī hai

is jabr kā ai ahl-e-jahāñ naam koī hai
kulfat meñ bhī ārām hai ġham meñ bhī ḳhushī hai

arbāb-e-chaman apnī bahāroñ se ye pūchheñ
dāmān-e-gul-o-ġhuncha meñ kyuuñ aag lagī hai

ai ham-safaro DhūñDh lo āsānī-e-manzil
apnā to ye dil ḳhūgar-e-mushkil-talabī hai

ai mauja-e-tūfāñ tirā dil koī bhī toḌe
sāhil ne safīne ko ik āvāz to dī hai

duniya sabab-e-shorish-e-gham puchh rahi hai
ek mohr-e-KHamoshi hai ki honTon pe lagi hai

kuchh aur ziyaada asar-e-tishna-labi hai
jab se teri aankhon se chhalakti hui pi hai

is jabr ka ai ahl-e-jahan nam koi hai
kulfat mein bhi aaram hai gham mein bhi KHushi hai

arbab-e-chaman apni bahaaron se ye puchhen
daman-e-gul-o-ghuncha mein kyun aag lagi hai

ai ham-safaro DhunDh lo aasani-e-manzil
apna to ye dil KHugar-e-mushkil-talabi hai

ai mauja-e-tufan tera dil koi bhi toDe
sahil ne safine ko ek aawaz to di hai
