Raat Din Khawab Bunti Hoi Zindagi

Raat Din Khawab Bunti Hoi Zindagi
Dil mein naqd-e-izafi ki lo

Aankh bar-e-amanat se chor
Moj-e-ḳhun be-niyaz-e-mal

Dasht-e-be-rang se dard ke phol chunti hoi zindagi
Khauf-o-amandagi se hajil

Arzuon ke ashob se muzmahil
Munh ke bal ḳhaak par aa parri

Har taraf ek bhayanak sukut
Koi nauha na aansu na phool

Hasil-e-jism-o-jan be-nishan

 Rahguzaron ki dhul

Ajnabi sheher mein

Khak-basar hoi zindagi
Kaisi be-ghar hoi zindagi

Raat din ḳhwab bunti hoi zindagi
Dil mein naqd-e-izafi ki lo
