KHana-e-ummid be-nur-o-ziya hone ko hai

ḳhāna-e-ummīd be-nūr-o-ziyā hone ko hai

chashm-e-tar se āḳhirī aañsū judā hone ko hai

ye bhī ai dil ik fareb-e-vāda-e-fardā na ho

roz suntā huuñ koī mahshar bapā hone ko hai

duur huuñ lekin batā saktā huuñ un kī bazm meñ

kyā huā kyā ho rahā hai aur kyā hone ko hai

khul rahī hai aañkh ik kāfir hasīñ kī sub.h-dam

mai-kasho muzhda dar-e-mai-ḳhāna vā hone ko hai

tark-e-ulfat ko zamāna ho gayā lekin 'shakīl'

aaj phir merā aur un kā sāmnā hone ko hai

KHana-e-ummid be-nur-o-ziya hone ko hai

chashm-e-tar se aaKHiri aansu juda hone ko hai

ye bhi ai dil ek fareb-e-wada-e-farda na ho

roz sunta hun koi mahshar bapa hone ko hai

dur hun lekin bata sakta hun un ki bazm mein

kya hua kya ho raha hai aur kya hone ko hai

khul rahi hai aankh ek kafir hasin ki subh-dam

mai-kasho muzhda dar-e-mai-KHana wa hone ko hai

tark-e-ulfat ko zamana ho gaya lekin 'shakil'

aaj phir mera aur un ka samna hone ko hai
