ḳhuub nibhegī ham donoñ meñ mere jaisā tū bhī hai

thoḌā jhūTā maiñ bhī Thahrā thoḌā jhūTā tū bhī hai

KHub nibhegi hum donon mein mere jaisa tu bhi hai

thoDa jhuTa main bhi Thahra thoDa jhuTa tu bhi hai

mujh meñ hai yahī aib ki auroñ kī tarah maiñ

chehre pe kabhī dūsrā chehrā nahīñ rakhtā

mujh mein hai yahi aib ki auron ki tarah main

chehre pe kabhi dusra chehra nahin rakhta

kisī ne raah kā patthar hamīñ ko Thahrāyā

ye aur baat ki phir ā.īna hamīñ Thahre

kisi ne rah ka patthar hamin ko Thahraya

ye aur baat ki phir aaina hamin Thahre

hamāre tan pe koī qīmtī qabā na sahī

ġhazal ko apnī magar ḳhush-libās rakhte haiñ

hamare tan pe koi qimti qaba na sahi

ghazal ko apni magar KHush-libas rakhte hain

ik din vo mere aib gināne lagā 'farāġh'

jab ḳhud hī thak gayā to mujhe sochnā paḌā

ek din wo mere aib ginane laga 'faragh'

jab KHud hi thak gaya to mujhe sochna paDa

kaise apne pyaar ke sapne hoñ sākār

tere mere biich hai maz.hab kī dīvār

kaise apne pyar ke sapne hon sakar

tere mere bich hai mazhab ki diwar

bhuul ga.e har vāqi.a bas itnā hai yaad

māl-o-zar par thī khaḌī rishtoñ kī buniyād

bhul gae har waqia bas itna hai yaad

mal-o-zar par thi khaDi rishton ki buniyaad

nafrat ke sansār meñ kheleñ ab ye khel

ik ik insāñ joḌ ke ban jaa.eñ ham rail

nafrat ke sansar mein khelen ab ye khel

ek ek insan joD ke ban jaen hum rail
