aaj ik aur baras biit gayā us ke baġhair
jis ke hote hue hote the zamāne mere
saarā ġhussa ab bas is kaam aatā hai
ham is se cigarette sulgāyā karte haiñ
sara ghussa ab bas is kaam aata hai
hum is se cigarette sulgaya karte hain
jab yaar ne uThā kar zulfoñ ke baal bāñdhe
tab maiñ ne apne dil meñ lākhoñ ḳhayāl bāñdhe
When my beloved raised her arms to gather up her tresses
A million desires gathered in my heart and got tied up in a tangle.
jab yar ne uTha kar zulfon ke baal bandhe
tab main ne apne dil mein lakhon KHayal bandhe
dhuup meñ kaun kise yaad kiyā kartā hai
par tire shahr meñ barsāt to hotī hogī
dhup mein kaun kise yaad kiya karta hai
par tere shahr mein barsat to hoti hogi
zamīñ roī hamāre haal par aur āsmāñ royā
hamārī bekasī ko dekh kar saarā jahāñ royā
zamin roi hamare haal par aur aasman roya
hamari bekasi ko dekh kar sara jahan roya
thoḌī sī aql laa.e the ham bhī magar 'adam'
duniyā ke hādsāt ne dīvāna kar diyā
thoDi si aql lae the hum bhi magar 'adam'
duniya ke hadsat ne diwana kar diya
