mera hai kaun dushman meri chahat kaun rakhta hai

mirā hai kaun dushman merī chāhat kaun rakhtā hai

isī par sochte rahne kī fursat kaun rakhtā hai

makīnoñ ke ta.alluq hī se yaad aatī hai har bastī

vagarna sirf bām-o-dar se ulfat kaun rakhtā hai

nahīñ hai nirḳh koī mere in ash.ār-e-tāza kā

ye mere ḳhvāb haiñ ḳhvāboñ kī qīmat kaun rakhtā hai

dar-e-ḳhema khulā rakkhā hai gul kar ke diyā ham ne

so izn-e-ām hai lo shauq-e-ruḳhsat kaun rakhtā hai

mare dushman kā qad is bhiiḌ meñ mujh se to ūñchā ho

yahī meñ DhūñDhtā huuñ aisī qāmat kaun rakhtā hai

hamāre shahr kī raunaq hai kuchh mash.hūr logoñ se

magar sab jānte haiñ kaisī shohrat kaun rakhtā hai

mera hai kaun dushman meri chahat kaun rakhta hai

isi par sochte rahne ki fursat kaun rakhta hai

makinon ke talluq hi se yaad aati hai har basti

wagarna sirf baam-o-dar se ulfat kaun rakhta hai

nahin hai nirKH koi mere in ashaar-e-taza ka

ye mere KHwab hain KHwabon ki qimat kaun rakhta hai

dar-e-KHema khula rakkha hai gul kar ke diya hum ne

so izn-e-am hai lo shauq-e-ruKHsat kaun rakhta hai

mare dushman ka qad is bhiD mein mujh se to uncha ho

yahi mein DhunDhta hun aisi qamat kaun rakhta hai

hamare shahr ki raunaq hai kuchh mashhur logon se

magar sab jaante hain kaisi shohrat kaun rakhta hai
