harf-e-shikwa na lab pe lao tum
harf-e-shikva na lab pe laao tum
zaḳhm khā kar bhī muskurāo tum
apne haq ke liye laḌo be-shak
dūsroñ kā na haq dabāo tum
sab ise dil-lagī samajhte haiñ
ab kisī se na dil lagāo tum
maslahat kā yahī taqāzā hai
vo na māneñ to maan jaao tum
apnā saaya bhī ab nahīñ apnā
apne saa.e se ḳhauf khaao tum
maut mañDlā rahī hai shahroñ par
jā ke sahrā meñ ghar banāo tum
dostoñ ko to ḳhuub dekh chuke
dushmanoñ ko bhī āzmāo tum
rāstī pe madār ho jis kā
ab na vo baat lab pe laao tum
jo bhalā māñgte the sar but kā
in buzurgoñ ko phir bulāo tum
harf-e-shikwa na lab pe lao tum
zaKHm kha kar bhi muskurao tum
apne haq ke liye laDo be-shak
dusron ka na haq dabao tum
sab ise dil-lagi samajhte hain
ab kisi se na dil lagao tum
maslahat ka yahi taqaza hai
wo na manen to man jao tum
apna saya bhi ab nahin apna
apne sae se KHauf khao tum
maut manDla rahi hai shahron par
ja ke sahra mein ghar banao tum
doston ko to KHub dekh chuke
dushmanon ko bhi aazmao tum
rasti pe madar ho jis ka
ab na wo baat lab pe lao tum
jo bhala mangte the sar but ka
in buzurgon ko phir bulao tum
