kuchh ab ke jang pe uski giraft aisi thi

kuchh ab ke jañg pe us kī giraft aisī thī

dar-asl thā vahī fāteh shikast aisī thī

ḳhush-āmdīd na.ī raushnī ko kyuuñ kahtī

hamārī qaum qadāmat-parast aisī thī

havās-o-hosh koī bhī na rakh sakā qaa.em

havā-e-tāza bhī sho.ala-ba-dast aisī thī

nafas nafas ko ham apnā gavāh karne lage

hamāre samt sadā-e-alast aisī thī

shanāḳht kar na sakā ā.ina-nazar bhī use

har ek shāḳh-e-badan laḳht laḳht aisī thī

hazār rañg ke jalvoñ se thī fazā ma.amūr

guzishta raat 'mubārak' nashist aisī thī

kuchh ab ke jang pe us ki giraft aisi thi

dar-asl tha wahi fateh shikast aisi thi

KHush-amdid nai raushni ko kyun kahti

hamari qaum qadamat-parast aisi thi

hawas-o-hosh koi bhi na rakh saka qaem

hawa-e-taza bhi shoala-ba-dast aisi thi

nafas nafas ko hum apna gawah karne lage

hamare samt sada-e-alast aisi thi

shanaKHt kar na saka aaina-nazar bhi use

har ek shaKH-e-badan laKHt laKHt aisi thi

hazar rang ke jalwon se thi faza mamur

guzishta raat 'mubarak' nashist aisi thi
