itnā masrūf kar liyā ḳhud ko

ġham bhī aa kar ḳhushī se lauT ga.e

itna masruf kar liya KHud ko

gham bhi aa kar KHushi se lauT gae

tumhārī ḳhush-nasībī hai ki tum samjhe nahīñ ab tak

akele-pan meñ aur tanhā.ī meñ jo farq hotā hai

tumhaari KHush-nasibi hai ki tum samjhe nahin ab tak

akele-pan mein aur tanhai mein jo farq hota hai

kuchh umr apnī zaat kā dukh jhelte rahe

kuchh umr kā.enāt kā dukh jhelnā paḌā

kuchh umr apni zat ka dukh jhelte rahe

kuchh umr kaenat ka dukh jhelna paDa

ek laḌkī chūḌiyāñ khankā rahī thī aur tabhī

us khanak se uTh rahā thā jaise zindānī kā shor

ek laDki chuDiyan khanka rahi thi aur tabhi

us khanak se uTh raha tha jaise zindani ka shor

kisī se bhī muḳhātib hoñ koī bhī baat hotī ho

tumhārā naam lene kā bahāna DhūñD lete haiñ

kisi se bhi muKHatib hon koi bhi baat hoti ho

tumhaara nam lene ka bahana DhunD lete hain
