dil kī vīrānī kā kyā mazkūr hai
ye nagar sau martaba luuTā gayā
Of this heart's desolation, what is there to say?
This city has, a hundred times, to plunder fallen prey
dil ki virani ka kya mazkur hai
ye nagar sau martaba luTa gaya
Of this heart's desolation, what is there to say?
This city has, a hundred times, to plunder fallen prey

koī vīrānī sī vīrānī hai
dasht ko dekh ke ghar yaad aayā
What kind of desolation there this be
Home comes to mind the desert when I see
koi virani si virani hai
dasht ko dekh ke ghar yaad aaya
What kind of desolation there this be
Home comes to mind the desert when I see

sahrā ko bahut naaz hai vīrānī pe apnī
vāqif nahīñ shāyad mire ujḌe hue ghar se
sahra ko bahut naz hai virani pe apni
waqif nahin shayad mere ujDe hue ghar se
itnī saarī yādoñ ke hote bhī jab dil meñ
vīrānī hotī hai to hairānī hotī hai
itni sari yaadon ke hote bhi jab dil mein
virani hoti hai to hairani hoti hai

bastiyāñ kuchh huiiñ vīrān to mātam kaisā
kuchh ḳharābe bhī to ābād huā karte haiñ
bastiyan kuchh huin viran to matam kaisa
kuchh KHarabe bhi to aabaad hua karte hain
ghar meñ thā kyā ki tirā ġham use ġhārat kartā
vo jo rakhte the ham ik hasrat-e-tāmīr so hai
ghar mein tha kya ki tera gham use ghaarat karta
wo jo rakhte the hum ek hasrat-e-tamir so hai
tumhāre rañg phīke paḌ ga.e naañ
mirī āñkhoñ kī vīrānī ke aage
tumhaare rang phike paD gae nan
meri aankhon ki virani ke aage
kis ne ābād kiyā hai mirī vīrānī ko
ishq ne? ishq to bīmār paḌā hai mujh meñ
kis ne aabaad kiya hai meri virani ko
ishq ne? ishq to bimar paDa hai mujh mein

merī barbādī meñ hissa hai apnoñ kā
mumkin hai ye baat ġhalat ho par lagtā hai
meri barbaadi mein hissa hai apnon ka
mumkin hai ye baat ghalat ho par lagta hai
maiñ vo bastī huuñ ki yād-e-raftagāñ ke bhes meñ
dekhne aatī hai ab merī hī vīrānī mujhe
main wo basti hun ki yaad-e-raftagan ke bhes mein
dekhne aati hai ab meri hi virani mujhe
na ham vahshat meñ apne ghar se nikle
na sahrā apnī vīrānī se niklā
na hum wahshat mein apne ghar se nikle
na sahra apni virani se nikla

do jīvan tārāj hue tab puurī huī baat
kaisā phuul khilā hai aur kaisī vīrānī meñ
do jiwan taraj hue tab puri hui baat
kaisa phul khila hai aur kaisi virani mein
andar se maiñ TūTā-phūTā ek khañDar vīrāna thā
zāhir jo ta.amīr na hotī to maiñ yaaro kyā kartā
andar se main TuTa-phuTa ek khanDar virana tha
zahir jo tamir na hoti to main yaro kya karta
