tu pasheman na ho main shad hun nashad nahin
tū pashemāñ na ho maiñ shaad huuñ nāshād nahīñ
zindagī terā karam hai tirī bedād nahīñ
vo sanam-ḳhāna-e-dil ho ki guzar-gāh-e-ḳhayāl
maiñ ne tujh ko kahīñ dekhā hai magar yaad nahīñ
dekh ai ḳhāk-e-pareshānī-e-ḳhātir merī
tū ne samjhā thā ki tujh sā koī barbād nahīñ
DhūñDtī phirtī haiñ jaane mirī nazreñ kis ko
aisī bastī meñ jahāñ koī bhī ābād nahīñ
kab hameñ apnī udāsī kī ḳhabar thī ai 'zeb'
muskurā.e haiñ to dekhā hai ki dil shaad nahīñ
tu pasheman na ho main shad hun nashad nahin
zindagi tera karam hai teri bedad nahin
wo sanam-KHana-e-dil ho ki guzar-gah-e-KHayal
main ne tujh ko kahin dekha hai magar yaad nahin
dekh ai KHak-e-pareshani-e-KHatir meri
tu ne samjha tha ki tujh sa koi barbaad nahin
DhunDti phirti hain jaane meri nazren kis ko
aisi basti mein jahan koi bhi aabaad nahin
kab hamein apni udasi ki KHabar thi ai 'zeb'
muskurae hain to dekha hai ki dil shad nahin
