tū farishta na huā to na pashemāñ honā
hai baḌī shai yahāñ insāñ kā bhī insāñ honā
maanā mushkil hai magar ab ye hunar sīkheñge
kyā ḳhabar thī ki paḌegā hameñ āsāñ honā
kyā zarūrī hai taqābul kisī kā shīshe se
zaat meñ ho na agar aks pe nāzāñ honā
tañg-jānī hai yuuñ bhī ḳhāl-o-ḳhad-o-paikar meñ
dam nahīñ ghoT de ehsās-e-farāvāñ honā
khel pardoñ kā hai saarā sar-e-mimbar us kā
vo ayaañ honā kabhī aur kabhī pinhāñ honā
ham ujāloñ ke jale haiñ so añdheroñ meñ hai
raas aa.egā nahīñ ham ko charāġhāñ honā
zulm hai bāñdhnā ham ko yuuñ had-e-imkāñ meñ
aur ḳhud is kā ba.īd-e-had-e-imkāñ honā
tu farishta na hua to na pasheman hona
hai baDi shai yahan insan ka bhi insan hona
mana mushkil hai magar ab ye hunar sikhenge
kya KHabar thi ki paDega hamein aasan hona
kya zaruri hai taqabul kisi ka shishe se
zat mein ho na agar aks pe nazan hona
tang-jaani hai yun bhi KHal-o-KHad-o-paikar mein
dam nahin ghoT de ehsas-e-farawan hona
khel pardon ka hai sara sar-e-mimbar us ka
wo ayan hona kabhi aur kabhi pinhan hona
hum ujalon ke jale hain so andheron mein hai
ras aaega nahin hum ko charaghan hona
zulm hai bandhna hum ko yun had-e-imkan mein
aur KHud is ka baid-e-had-e-imkan hona
