aaj ik aur baras biit gayā us ke baġhair
jis ke hote hue hote the zamāne mere
rusvā hue zalīl hue dar-ba-dar hue
haq baat lab pe aa.ī to ham be-hunar hue
ruswa hue zalil hue dar-ba-dar hue
haq baat lab pe aai to hum be-hunar hue
yā to jo nā-fahm haiñ vo bolte haiñ in dinoñ
yā jinheñ ḳhāmosh rahne kī sazā ma.alūm hai
ya to jo na-fahm hain wo bolte hain in dinon
ya jinhen KHamosh rahne ki saza malum hai
kah rahā hai shor-e-dariyā se samundar kā sukūt
jis kā jitnā zarf hai utnā hī vo ḳhāmosh hai
the river's raging is advised by the tranquil sea
the greater power you possess, the quieter you be
kah raha hai shor-e-dariya se samundar ka sukut
jis ka jitna zarf hai utna hi wo KHamosh hai
sun to sahī jahāñ meñ hai terā fasāna kyā
kahtī hai tujh ko ḳhalq-e-ḳhudā ġhā.ebāna kyā
sun to sahi jahan mein hai tera fasana kya
kahti hai tujh ko KHalq-e-KHuda ghaebana kya
jaane kyuuñ log mirā naam paḌhā karte haiñ
maiñ ne chehre pe tire yuuñ to likhā kuchh bhī nahīñ
jaane kyun log mera nam paDha karte hain
main ne chehre pe tere yun to likha kuchh bhi nahin
