ik vahī shaḳhs mujh ko yaad rahā

jis ko samjhā thā bhuul jā.ūñgā

ek wahi shaKHs mujh ko yaad raha

jis ko samjha tha bhul jaunga

kaise ho kyā hai haal mat pūchho

mujh se mushkil savāl mat pūchho

kaise ho kya hai haal mat puchho

mujh se mushkil sawal mat puchho

jhūTī ummīd kī uñglī ko pakaḌnā chhoḌo

dard se baat karo dard se laḌnā chhoḌo

jhuTi ummid ki ungli ko pakaDna chhoDo

dard se baat karo dard se laDna chhoDo

ham jo pahle kahīñ mile hote

aur hī apne silsile hote

hum jo pahle kahin mile hote

aur hi apne silsile hote

ye tamannā hai ki ab aur tamannā na kareñ

sher kahte raheñ chup chaap taqāzā na kareñ

ye tamanna hai ki ab aur tamanna na karen

sher kahte rahen chup chap taqaza na karen
