dil kī baat kyā kahiye dil ajiib bastī hai
roz ye ujaḌtī hai aur roz bastī hai
pahle apnī hālat pe hañs le ḳhud hī jī bhar ke
dekh kar mujhe duniyā tanz se jo hañstī hai
aaj kā zamāna bhī vaah kyā zamāna hai
zindagī bahut mahñgī maut kitnī sastī hai
us se duur kyā hogī tīrgī zamāne kī
sham.a raushnī ko ḳhud aaj jab tarastī hai
