uske siwa kya apni daulat

us ke sivā kyā apnī daulat

soz-e-tamannā dard-e-basīrat

apne alāva kaun milegā

kis se karne jaa.eñ adāvat

sikkoñ kā bāzār hai duniyā

miltī kyā ehsās kī qīmat

nāḳhun-e-daurāñ aur ġhazab thā

bhartā bhī kyā zaḳhm-e-farāsat

har dhaḌkan afsāna ban kar

khol rahī hai dil kī haqīqat

zaḳhmoñ phūloñ kī ye duniyā

dil kā jahannum aañkh kī jannat

kitne tajarbe ek tamannā

kitne ḳhvāb aur ek mohabbat

but-kada-e-fan terī ḳhātir

gaḌhtā huuñ taḳh.īl kī mūrat

karte 'hurmat' kī ġham-ḳhvārī

ġham ne kahāñ dī itnī mohlat

us ke siwa kya apni daulat

soz-e-tamanna dard-e-basirat

apne alawa kaun milega

kis se karne jaen adawat

sikkon ka bazar hai duniya

milti kya ehsas ki qimat

naKHun-e-dauran aur ghazab tha

bharta bhi kya zaKHm-e-farasat

har dhaDkan afsana ban kar

khol rahi hai dil ki haqiqat

zaKHmon phulon ki ye duniya

dil ka jahannum aankh ki jannat

kitne tajarbe ek tamanna

kitne KHwab aur ek mohabbat

but-kada-e-fan teri KHatir

gaDhta hun taKHil ki murat

karte 'hurmat' ki gham-KHwari

gham ne kahan di itni mohlat
