kahāñ milegī bhalā is sitamgarī kī misāl

taras bhī khātā hai mujh par tabāh kar ke mujhe

kahan milegi bhala is sitamgari ki misal

taras bhi khata hai mujh par tabah kar ke mujhe

bahut se ġham chhupe hoñge hañsī meñ

zarā in hañsne vāloñ ko TaTolo

bahut se gham chhupe honge hansi mein

zara in hansne walon ko TaTolo

hamārī zindagī kahne kī had tak zindagī hai bas

ye shīrāza bhī dekhā jaa.e to barham hai barsoñ se

hamari zindagi kahne ki had tak zindagi hai bas

ye shiraaza bhi dekha jae to barham hai barson se

ġharīb ko havas-e-zindagī nahīñ hotī

bas itnā hai ki vo izzat se marnā chāhtā hai

gharib ko hawas-e-zindagi nahin hoti

bas itna hai ki wo izzat se marna chahta hai

har ġham sahnā aur ḳhush rahnā

mushkil hai āsān nahīñ hai

har gham sahna aur KHush rahna

mushkil hai aasan nahin hai
