vo un kā zamāna thā jahāñ aql baḌī thī

ye merā zamāna hai yahāñ bhaiñs baḌī hai

wo un ka zamana tha jahan aql baDi thi

ye mera zamana hai yahan bhains baDi hai

hukm begam ke chalā karte haiñ jelar kī tarah

ab mirā ghar bhī mujhe jail huā jaatā hai

hukm begam ke chala karte hain jelar ki tarah

ab mera ghar bhi mujhe jail hua jata hai

vaa.iz ko jo dekho to ghaTā-Top añdherā

saaqī ko jo dekho to kiran phuuT rahī hai

waiz ko jo dekho to ghaTa-Top andhera

saqi ko jo dekho to kiran phuT rahi hai

ta.adād meñ haiñ aurteñ mardoñ se zyāda

qavvāliyāñ maujūd haiñ qavvāl nadārat

tadad mein hain aurten mardon se zyaada

qawwaliyan maujud hain qawwal nadarat

jo bhī hāregā vahī gāliyāñ degā us ko

jis barahman ne kahā hai ki ye saal achchhā hai

jo bhi haarega wahi galiyan dega us ko

jis barahman ne kaha hai ki ye sal achchha hai
