bap beTe ne jo kabe mein lagae patthar

baap beTe ne jo kā'be meñ lagā.e patthar

ham ka.ī baar vahī chuum ke aa.e patthar

ret aisī hī chalī aa.ī hai duniyā meñ sadā

ki jo phaldār shajar ho vahī khaa.e patthar

baat haq kī thī sar-e-'ām jo keh dī maiñ ne

ab to apnā bhī parāyā bhī uThā.e patthar

duudh kī nahr pahāḌoñ se nikāle farhād

apnī lailā ke liye qais ne khaa.e patthar

sang-dil rote nahīñ kahtī hai aksar duniyā

ābshāroñ se magar ashk bahā.e patthar

Thokareñ khāne se bach jaa.e vahī ai 'mehrū'

chalte chalte jo sar-e-rāh uThā.e patthar

bap beTe ne jo ka'be mein lagae patthar

hum kai bar wahi chum ke aae patthar

ret aisi hi chali aai hai duniya mein sada

ki jo phaldar shajar ho wahi khae patthar

baat haq ki thi sar-e-'am jo keh di main ne

ab to apna bhi paraya bhi uThae patthar

dudh ki nahr pahaDon se nikale farhad

apni laila ke liye qais ne khae patthar

sang-dil rote nahin kahti hai aksar duniya

aabshaaron se magar ashk bahae patthar

Thokaren khane se bach jae wahi ai 'mehru'

chalte chalte jo sar-e-rah uThae patthar
