matla-e-subh pe chhai hai siyahi kaisi
matla.a-e-sub.h pe chhā.ī hai siyāhī kaisī
shahr rah rah ke ye letā hai jamāhī kaisī
qarz-e-jāñ aaj chukā deñge magar ye to batā
zindagī maiñ ne tire saath nibāhī kaisī
muddateñ guzrīñ vo ghar chhoḌ chukā hai phir bhī
in darīchoñ meñ hai betāb-nigāhī kaisī
kitnī mahdūd thiiñ mazlūm saroñ kī fasleñ
qatl-gāheñ thiiñ magar lā-mutanāhī kaisī
ittifāqāt haiñ ai shahr-e-siyāsat varna
ham faqīroñ ke liye masnad-e-shāhī kaisī
kis qadar kaaT hai ḳhāmosh-labī meñ 'sāġhar'
jang be-teġh bhī laḌtā hai sipāhī kaisī
matla-e-subh pe chhai hai siyahi kaisi
shahr rah rah ke ye leta hai jamahi kaisi
qarz-e-jaan aaj chuka denge magar ye to bata
zindagi main ne tere sath nibahi kaisi
muddaten guzrin wo ghar chhoD chuka hai phir bhi
in darichon mein hai betab-nigahi kaisi
kitni mahdud thin mazlum saron ki faslen
qatl-gahen thin magar la-mutanahi kaisi
ittifaqat hain ai shahr-e-siyasat warna
hum faqiron ke liye masnad-e-shahi kaisi
kis qadar kaT hai KHamosh-labi mein 'saghar'
jang be-tegh bhi laDta hai sipahi kaisi
