ham garche dil o jaan se bezār hue haiñ
ḳhush haiñ ki tire ġham ke sazā-vār hue haiñ

uTThe haiñ tire dar se agar sūrat-e-dīvār
ruḳhsat bhī to juuñ sāya-e-dīvār hue haiñ

kyā kahiye nazar aatī hai kyuuñ ḳhvāb ye duniyā
kyā jāniye kis ḳhvāb se bedār hue haiñ

āñkhoñ meñ tire jalve liye phirte haiñ ham log
ham log ki rusvā sar-e-bāzār hue haiñ

kuchh dekh ke piite haiñ lahū ahl-e-tamannā
mai-ḳhvār kisī baat pe mai-ḳhvār hue haiñ

zanjīr-e-havādis kī hai jhankār bahar-gām
kyā jurm kiyā thā ki giraftār hue haiñ

iz.hār-e-ġham-e-zīst kareñ kyā ki 'zafar' ham
vo ġham haiñ ki sharminda-e-iz.hār hue haiñ

hum garche dil o jaan se bezar hue hain
KHush hain ki tere gham ke saza-war hue hain

uTThe hain tere dar se agar surat-e-diwar
ruKHsat bhi to jun saya-e-diwar hue hain

kya kahiye nazar aati hai kyun KHwab ye duniya
kya jaaniye kis KHwab se bedar hue hain

aankhon mein tere jalwe liye phirte hain hum log
hum log ki ruswa sar-e-bazar hue hain

kuchh dekh ke pite hain lahu ahl-e-tamanna
mai-KHwar kisi baat pe mai-KHwar hue hain

zanjir-e-hawadis ki hai jhankar bahar-gam
kya jurm kiya tha ki giraftar hue hain

izhaar-e-gham-e-zist karen kya ki 'zafar' hum
wo gham hain ki sharminda-e-izhaar hue hain
