udas baam hai dar kaTne ko aata hai

udaas baam hai dar kāTne ko aatā hai

tire baġhair ye ghar kāTne ko aatā hai

ḳhayāl-e-mausam-e-gul bhī nahīñ sitamgar ko

bahār meñ bhī shajar kāTne ko aatā hai

faqīh-e-shahr se insāf kaun māñgegā

faqīh-e-shahr to sar kāTne ko aatā hai

isī liye to kisānoñ ne khet chhoḌ diye

ki koī aur samar kāTne ko aatā hai

tire ḳhayāl kā aahū kahīñ bhī din meñ rahe

magar vo raat idhar kāTne ko aatā hai

kahā to thā ki hameñ is qadar bhī Dhiil na de

ab uḌ rahe haiñ to par kāTne ko aatā hai

ye kaam karte the pahle sagān-e-āvāra

bashar ko aaj bashar kāTne kā aatā hai

ye us kī raah nahīñ hai magar yūñhī 'bāqī'

vo mere saath safar kāTne ko aatā hai

udas baam hai dar kaTne ko aata hai

tere baghair ye ghar kaTne ko aata hai

KHayal-e-mausam-e-gul bhi nahin sitamgar ko

bahaar mein bhi shajar kaTne ko aata hai

faqih-e-shahr se insaf kaun mangega

faqih-e-shahr to sar kaTne ko aata hai

isi liye to kisanon ne khet chhoD diye

ki koi aur samar kaTne ko aata hai

tere KHayal ka aahu kahin bhi din mein rahe

magar wo raat idhar kaTne ko aata hai

kaha to tha ki hamein is qadar bhi Dhil na de

ab uD rahe hain to par kaTne ko aata hai

ye kaam karte the pahle sagan-e-awara

bashar ko aaj bashar kaTne ka aata hai

ye us ki rah nahin hai magar yunhi 'baqi'

wo mere sath safar kaTne ko aata hai
