dar-o-dīvār bhī ghar ke bahut māyūs the ham se

so ham bhī raat is jāgīr se bāhar nikal aa.e

dar-o-diwar bhi ghar ke bahut mayus the hum se

so hum bhi raat is jagir se bahar nikal aae

tere mehmāñ ke svāgat kā koī phuul the ham

jo bhī niklā hameñ pairoñ se kuchal kar niklā

tere mehman ke swagat ka koi phul the hum

jo bhi nikla hamein pairon se kuchal kar nikla

tū ek saal meñ ik saañs bhī na jī paayā

maiñ ek sajde meñ sadiyāñ ka.ī guzār gayā

tu ek sal mein ek sans bhi na ji paya

main ek sajde mein sadiyan kai guzar gaya

yahāñ mazbūt se mazbūt lohā TuuT jaatā hai

ka.ī jhūTe ikaTThe hoñ to sachchā TuuT jaatā hai

yahan mazbut se mazbut loha TuT jata hai

kai jhuTe ikaTThe hon to sachcha TuT jata hai

ye bad-nasībī nahīñ hai to aur phir kyā hai

safar akele kiyā ham-safar ke hote hue

ye bad-nasibi nahin hai to aur phir kya hai

safar akele kiya ham-safar ke hote hue
