bād-e-nafrat phir mohabbat ko zabāñ darkār hai

phir azīz-e-jāñ vahī urdu zabāñ hone lagī

baad-e-nafrat phir mohabbat ko zaban darkar hai

phir aziz-e-jaan wahi urdu zaban hone lagi

dhīre dhīre sar meñ aa kar bhar gayā barsoñ kā shor

rafta rafta ārzu-e-dil dhuāñ hone lagī

dhire dhire sar mein aa kar bhar gaya barson ka shor

rafta rafta aarzu-e-dil dhuan hone lagi

har nayā rasta nikaltā hai jo manzil ke liye

ham se kahtā hai purānī rahguzar kuchh bhī nahīñ

har naya rasta nikalta hai jo manzil ke liye

hum se kahta hai purani rahguzar kuchh bhi nahin

mujhe bhī ḳhud na thā ehsās apne hone kā

tirī nigāh meñ apnā maqām khone tak

mujhe bhi KHud na tha ehsas apne hone ka

teri nigah mein apna maqam khone tak

na samjhe ashk-fishānī ko koī māyūsī

hai dil meñ aag agar aañkh meñ bhī paanī hai

na samjhe ashk-fishani ko koi mayusi

hai dil mein aag agar aankh mein bhi pani hai
