tamāsha apnā sar-e-rah-guzar banāyā jaa.e
jo rāhzan hai use rāhbar banāyā jaa.e

salīqa ye bhī to hai sar uThā ke jiine kā
jo ham meñ aib haiñ in ko hunar banāyā jaa.e

tamām umr isī kaam meñ rahe masrūf
har ek dil meñ mohabbat kā dar banāyā jaa.e

ḳhushī kā kyā hai hamesha fareb detī hai
to apne ġham ko hī ab mo'atabar banāyā jaa.e

jahāñ na paḌ sake saaya bhī koī nafrat kā
mohabbatoñ kā ik aisā nagar banāyā jaa.e

abhī nuqūsh numāyāñ nahīñ hue haiñ mire
tarāsh kar mujhe bār-e-digar banāyā jaa.e

koī nahīñ abhī tayyār saath chalne ko
so apne saa.e ko hī ham-safar banāyā jaa.e

sab apnī zaat meñ gum haiñ ye soch kar 'nāyāb'
parā.e dard ko kyuuñ dard-e-sar banāyā jaa.e

tamasha apna sar-e-rah-guzar banaya jae
jo rahzan hai use rahbar banaya jae

saliqa ye bhi to hai sar uTha ke jine ka
jo hum mein aib hain in ko hunar banaya jae

tamam umr isi kaam mein rahe masruf
har ek dil mein mohabbat ka dar banaya jae

KHushi ka kya hai hamesha fareb deti hai
to apne gham ko hi ab mo'atabar banaya jae

jahan na paD sake saya bhi koi nafrat ka
mohabbaton ka ek aisa nagar banaya jae

abhi nuqush numayan nahin hue hain mere
tarash kar mujhe bar-e-digar banaya jae

koi nahin abhi tayyar sath chalne ko
so apne sae ko hi ham-safar banaya jae

sab apni zat mein gum hain ye soch kar 'nayab'
parae dard ko kyun dard-e-sar banaya jae
