vo sāf-go hai magar baat kā hunar sīkhe

badan hasīñ hai to kyā be-libās aa.egā

wo saf-go hai magar baat ka hunar sikhe

badan hasin hai to kya be-libas aaega

be-fikr raho yaaro maiñ aaj bhī huuñ barbād

din phir ga.e haiñ mere afvāh uḌī hogī

be-fikr raho yaro main aaj bhi hun barbaad

din phir gae hain mere afwah uDi hogi

dimāġh-o-dil kī thakān vaalā

kaḌā safar hai gumān vaalā

dimagh-o-dil ki thakan wala

kaDa safar hai guman wala

haa.e tum to dil se milne vaale the

tum ne kab se haath milānā siikh liyā

hae tum to dil se milne wale the

tum ne kab se hath milana sikh liya

shahr-e-mumkināt meñ ho ke nā ummīd maiñ

phir rahā huuñ dar-ba-dar dil bahut udaas hai

shahr-e-mumkinat mein ho ke na ummid main

phir raha hun dar-ba-dar dil bahut udas hai

maiñ aise māhir-e-fan kā murīd huuñ jo mujhe

mire gumān se baḌh kar fareb detā hai

main aise mahir-e-fan ka murid hun jo mujhe

mere guman se baDh kar fareb deta hai
