haal pūchhā na kare haath milāyā na kare

maiñ isī dhuup meñ ḳhush huuñ koī saaya na kare

haal puchha na kare hath milaya na kare

main isi dhup mein KHush hun koi saya na kare

hamārī zindagī par maut bhī hairān hai 'ġhā.er'

na jaane kis ne ye tārīḳh-e-paidā.ish nikālī hai

hamari zindagi par maut bhi hairan hai 'ghaer'

na jaane kis ne ye tariKH-e-paidaish nikali hai

kal raat jagātī rahī ik ḳhvāb kī duurī

aur niiñd bichhātī rahī bistar mire aage

kal raat jagati rahi ek KHwab ki duri

aur nind bichhati rahi bistar mere aage

dhuup saa.e kī tarah phail ga.ī

in daraḳhtoñ kī duā lene se

dhup sae ki tarah phail gai

in daraKHton ki dua lene se
