pahle thā bahut fāsla bāzār se ghar kā

ab ek hī kamre meñ hai bāzār bhī ghar bhī

pahle tha bahut fasla bazar se ghar ka

ab ek hi kamre mein hai bazar bhi ghar bhi

mat pūchhiye kyā jītne niklā thā maiñ ghar se

ye dekhiye kyā haar ke lauTā huuñ safar se

mat puchhiye kya jitne nikla tha main ghar se

ye dekhiye kya haar ke lauTa hun safar se

badan kī qaid se chhūTā to log pahchāne

tamām 'umr kisī ko mirā pata na milā

badan ki qaid se chhuTa to log pahchane

tamam 'umr kisi ko mera pata na mila

shu’ūr-e-tishnagī ik roz meñ puḳhta nahīñ hotā

mire hoñToñ ne sadiyoñ karbalā kī ḳhaak chūmī hai

shu’ur-e-tishnagi ek roz mein puKHta nahin hota

mere honTon ne sadiyon karbala ki KHak chumi hai

ye safar ye Dūbte sūraj kā manzar aur maiñ

jaane kab ho pā.eñge bāham mirā ghar aur maiñ

ye safar ye Dubte suraj ka manzar aur main

jaane kab ho paenge baham mera ghar aur main
