ajab haalat hamari ho gai hai

ajab hālat hamārī ho ga.ī hai

ye duniyā ab tumhārī ho ga.ī hai

suḳhan merā udāsī hai sar-e-shām

jo ḳhāmoshī pe taarī ho ga.ī hai

bahut hī ḳhush hai dil apne kiye par

zamāne-bhar meñ ḳhvārī ho ga.ī hai

vo nāzuk-lab hai ab jaane hī vaalā

mirī āvāz bhārī ho ga.ī hai

dil ab duniyā pe la.anat kar ki is kī

bahut ḳhidmat-guzārī ho ga.ī hai

yaqīñ ma.azūr hai ab aur gumāñ bhī

baḌī be-roz-gārī ho ga.ī hai

vo ik bād-e-shumālī-rañg jo thī

shamīm us kī savārī ho ga.ī hai

mire paas aa ke ḳhanjar bhoñk de tū

bahut neza-guzārī ho ga.ī hai

ajab haalat hamari ho gai hai

ye duniya ab tumhaari ho gai hai

suKHan mera udasi hai sar-e-sham

jo KHamoshi pe tari ho gai hai

bahut hi KHush hai dil apne kiye par

zamane-bhar mein KHwari ho gai hai

wo nazuk-lab hai ab jaane hi wala

meri aawaz bhaari ho gai hai

dil ab duniya pe lanat kar ki is ki

bahut KHidmat-guzari ho gai hai

yaqin mazur hai ab aur guman bhi

baDi be-roz-gari ho gai hai

wo ek baad-e-shumali-rang jo thi

shamim us ki sawari ho gai hai

mere pas aa ke KHanjar bhonk de tu

bahut neza-guzari ho gai hai
