aao kuchh zikr-e-rozgar karen

aao kuchh zikr-e-rozgār kareñ

daur-e-hāzir ke ġham shumār kareñ

aur bhī bojh haiñ isī sar par

ārzūeñ kahāñ savār kareñ

aap nuqsān sah na pā.eñge

aap dil kā na kārobār kareñ

ham se to be-ruḳhī nahīñ hotī

jo bhī chāheñ hamāre yaar kareñ

ābla-pā payām chhoḌ ga.e

log nazzāra-e-bahār kareñ

hai taqāzā-e-ġhairat-e-imroz

zor-e-bāzū pe inhisār kareñ

kuchh to farmā.iye ki 'āsī-jī'

kyā kareñ kis pe e.atibār kareñ

aao kuchh zikr-e-rozgar karen

daur-e-hazir ke gham shumar karen

aur bhi bojh hain isi sar par

aarzuen kahan sawar karen

aap nuqsan sah na paenge

aap dil ka na karobar karen

hum se to be-ruKHi nahin hoti

jo bhi chahen hamare yar karen

aabla-pa payam chhoD gae

log nazzara-e-bahaar karen

hai taqaza-e-ghairat-e-imroz

zor-e-bazu pe inhisar karen

kuchh to farmaiye ki 'asi-ji'

kya karen kis pe eatibar karen
