itnī be-rabt kahānī nahīñ achchhī lagtī

aur vāzeh bhī ishāre nahīñ achchhe lagte

itni be-rabt kahani nahin achchhi lagti

aur wazeh bhi ishaare nahin achchhe lagte

kisī ke narm lahje kā qarīna

mirī āvāz meñ shāmil rahā hai

kisi ke narm lahje ka qarina

meri aawaz mein shamil raha hai

kyuuñ DhūñDne nikle haiñ na.e ġham kā ḳhazīna

jab dil bhī vahī dard kī daulat bhī vahī hai

kyun DhunDne nikle hain nae gham ka KHazina

jab dil bhi wahi dard ki daulat bhi wahi hai

raste se mirī jañg bhī jaarī hai abhī tak

aur paañv tale zaḳhm kī vahshat bhī vahī hai

raste se meri jang bhi jari hai abhi tak

aur panw tale zaKHm ki wahshat bhi wahi hai

samundar ho to us meñ Duub jaanā bhī ravā hai

magar dariyāoñ ko to paar karnā chāhiye thā

samundar ho to us mein Dub jaana bhi rawa hai

magar dariyaon ko to par karna chahiye tha
