koi muzhda na bashaarat na dua chahti hai

koī muzhda na bashārat na duā chāhtī hai

roz ik taaza ḳhabar ḳhalq-e-ḳhudā chāhtī hai

mauj-e-ḳhūñ sar se guzarnī thī so vo bhī guzrī

aur kyā kūcha-e-qātil kī havā chāhtī hai

shahr-e-be-mehr meñ lab-basta ġhulāmoñ kī qatār

na.e ā.īn-e-asīrī kī binā chāhtī hai

koī bole ke na bole qadam uTTheñ na uTheñ

vo jo ik dil meñ hai dīvār uThā chāhtī hai

ham bhī labbaik kaheñ aur fasāna ban jaa.eñ

koī āvāz sar-e-koh-e-nidā chāhtī hai

yahī lau thī ki ulajhtī rahī har raat ke saath

ab ke ḳhud apnī havāoñ meñ bujhā chāhtī hai

ahd-e-āsūdgi-e-jāñ meñ bhī thā jaañ se aziiz

vo qalam bhī mire dushman kī anā chāhtī hai

bahr-e-pāmāli-e-gul aa.ī hai aur mauj-e-ḳhizāñ

guftugū meñ ravish-e-bād-e-sabā chāhtī hai

ḳhaak ko ham-sar-e-mahtāb kiyā raat kī raat

ḳhalq ab bhī vahī naqsh-e-kaf-e-pā chāhtī hai

koi muzhda na bashaarat na dua chahti hai

roz ek taza KHabar KHalq-e-KHuda chahti hai

mauj-e-KHun sar se guzarni thi so wo bhi guzri

aur kya kucha-e-qatil ki hawa chahti hai

shahr-e-be-mehr mein lab-basta ghulamon ki qatar

nae aain-e-asiri ki bina chahti hai

koi bole ke na bole qadam uTThen na uThen

wo jo ek dil mein hai diwar uTha chahti hai

hum bhi labbaik kahen aur fasana ban jaen

koi aawaz sar-e-koh-e-nida chahti hai

yahi lau thi ki ulajhti rahi har raat ke sath

ab ke KHud apni hawaon mein bujha chahti hai

ahd-e-asudgi-e-jaan mein bhi tha jaan se aziz

wo qalam bhi mere dushman ki ana chahti hai

bahr-e-pamali-e-gul aai hai aur mauj-e-KHizan

guftugu mein rawish-e-baad-e-saba chahti hai

KHak ko ham-sar-e-mahtab kiya raat ki raat

KHalq ab bhi wahi naqsh-e-kaf-e-pa chahti hai
