sukūñ tum zahr khā kar pā gaye ho

yahāñ qistoñ meñ ham to mar rahe haiñ

sukun tum zahr kha kar pa gaye ho

yahan qiston mein hum to mar rahe hain

tumhārā saath mil jaane se pahle

akelā-pan mujhe khaltā nahīñ thā

tumhaara sath mil jaane se pahle

akela-pan mujhe khalta nahin tha

ab parinde bhī is ko chhoḌ chale

ye shajar jald girne vaalā hai

ab parinde bhi is ko chhoD chale

ye shajar jald girne wala hai

yuuñ bhī us ko bhūlnā dushvār hai

aur us meñ 'aib bhī koī nahīñ

yun bhi us ko bhulna dushwar hai

aur us mein 'aib bhi koi nahin

us ko duniyā-dār banāyā

dekh rakhī thī duniyā ham ne

us ko duniya-dar banaya

dekh rakhi thi duniya hum ne
