kahīñ sahrā meñ jo dariyā dekheñ
ham bhī ā.īne meñ chehrā dekheñ

ham mohabbat ke liye ḳhaak uḌā.eñ
log galiyoñ meñ tamāshā dekheñ

sabr aa jaa.e agar apnā ye haal
jin kī ḳhātir hai vo tanhā dekheñ

band āñkhoñ meñ baḌī vus.at hai
band āñkhoñ hī se duniyā dekheñ

ghar hai mausam se bachānā mushkil
jānib-e-abr-o-havā kyā dekheñ

itnī dīvār-e-gulistāñ na baḌhāo
ki bayābāñ mirā rastā dekheñ

ab yahī shakl-e-tamannā hai ki ham
umr bhar ḳhvāb-e-tamannā dekheñ
ham bashar haiñ na ki sahrā ke shajar
jo sadā apnā hī saayā dekheñ

kahin sahra mein jo dariya dekhen
hum bhi aaine mein chehra dekhen

hum mohabbat ke liye KHak uDaen
log galiyon mein tamasha dekhen

sabr aa jae agar apna ye haal
jin ki KHatir hai wo tanha dekhen

band aankhon mein baDi wusat hai
band aankhon hi se duniya dekhen

ghar hai mausam se bachana mushkil
jaanib-e-abr-o-hawa kya dekhen

itni diwar-e-gulistan na baDhao
ki bayaban mera rasta dekhen

ab yahi shakl-e-tamanna hai ki hum
umr bhar KHwab-e-tamanna dekhen
hum bashar hain na ki sahra ke shajar
jo sada apna hi saya dekhen
