aaj tak aazmā rahī hai mujhe
karbalā phir bulā rahī hai mujhe
ḳhuun lalkārtā hai baḌh baḌh kar
saaf āvāz aa rahī hai mujhe
ḳhanjar-e-shimr to vasīla hai
ḳhud-shanāsī miTā rahī hai mujhe
zarra zarra mire liye kuufa
zindagī varġhalā rahī hai mujhe
aaj bhī lau buland hai merī
maut kab se bujhā rahī hai mujhe
