ai āsmān harf ko phir e.atibār de

varna haqīqatoñ ko kahānī likheñge log

ai aasman harf ko phir eatibar de

warna haqiqaton ko kahani likhenge log

ghar-bār chhoḌ kar vo faqīroñ se jā mile

chāhat ne bādshāhoñ ko mahkūm kar diyā

ghar-bar chhoD kar wo faqiron se ja mile

chahat ne baadshahon ko mahkum kar diya

jis baat kā matlab ḳhushbū hai har gaañv ke kachche raste par

us baat kā matlab badlegā jab pakkī saḌak aa jā.egī

jis baat ka matlab KHushbu hai har ganw ke kachche raste par

us baat ka matlab badlega jab pakki saDak aa jaegi

ye bādshāh nahīñ hai faqīr hai sūraj

hamesha raat kī jholī se din nikāltā hai

ye baadshah nahin hai faqir hai suraj

hamesha raat ki jholi se din nikalta hai

zarā mahfūz rastoñ se guzarnā

tumhārī shahr meñ shohrat bahut hai

zara mahfuz raston se guzarna

tumhaari shahr mein shohrat bahut hai
