ab tum bhī zarā husn-e-jahāñ-soz ko roko

ham to dil-e-betāb ko samjhā.e hue haiñ

ab tum bhi zara husn-e-jahan-soz ko roko

hum to dil-e-betab ko samjhae hue hain

idhar to tuul diyā hai umiid ko us ne

udhar hayāt atā kī hai muḳhtasar mujh ko

idhar to tul diya hai umid ko us ne

udhar hayat ata ki hai muKHtasar mujh ko

vo jis ne chhīn lī hai zindagānī

matā.a-e-zindagānī bhī vahī hai

wo jis ne chhin li hai zindagani

mataa-e-zindagani bhi wahi hai
