apnī anā kī aaj bhī taskīn ham ne kī

jī bhar ke us ke husn kī tauhīn ham ne kī

apni ana ki aaj bhi taskin hum ne ki

ji bhar ke us ke husn ki tauhin hum ne ki

sūraj huuñ zindagī kī ramaq chhoḌ jā.ūñgā

maiñ Duub bhī gayā to shafaq chhoḌ jā.ūñgā

suraj hun zindagi ki ramaq chhoD jaunga

main Dub bhi gaya to shafaq chhoD jaunga

vo chāñd hai to aks bhī paanī meñ aa.egā

kirdār ḳhud ubhar ke kahānī meñ aa.egā

wo chand hai to aks bhi pani mein aaega

kirdar KHud ubhar ke kahani mein aaega

pyāso raho na dasht meñ bārish ke muntazir

maaro zamīñ pe paañv ki paanī nikal paḌe

pyaso raho na dasht mein barish ke muntazir

maro zamin pe panw ki pani nikal paDe

pichhle baras bhī boī thiiñ lafzoñ kī khetiyāñ

ab ke baras bhī is ke sivā kuchh nahīñ kiyā

pichhle baras bhi boi thin lafzon ki khetiyan

ab ke baras bhi is ke siwa kuchh nahin kiya
