koi soche na hamein koi pukara na kare
koī soche na hameñ koī pukārā na kare
ham kahīñ haiñ ki nahīñ haiñ koī charchā na kare
raat afsūñ hai kahīñ kā nahīñ rahne detī
din ko so.e na koī raat ko jaagā na kare
ham nikal aa.e haiñ ab dhuup meñ jalne ke liye
koī bādal nahīñ bheje koī saaya na kare
an-ginat āñkhoñ meñ ham jalte rahe bujhte rahe
ab bhale ḳhvāb hamārā koī dekhā na kare
ham ne ik shahr basā rakkhā hai dīvāroñ meñ
kaam jo dil ne kiyā chashm-e-tamāshā na kare
koī ab jā ke zarā dekhe to us miTTī ko
aise sairāb kiyā hai koī dariyā na kare
go farāmoshī kī takmīl huā chāhtī hai
phir bhī kah do ki hameñ yaad vo aayā na kare
ham use ranj-e-tamannā se to bhar sakte haiñ
aur ye dil hai ki ab koī taqāzā na kare
vaar karnā hai agar ham pe to vo khul kar aa.e
aur bhūle se bhī ye kaam vo tanhā na kare
koi soche na hamein koi pukara na kare
hum kahin hain ki nahin hain koi charcha na kare
raat afsun hai kahin ka nahin rahne deti
din ko soe na koi raat ko jaga na kare
hum nikal aae hain ab dhup mein jalne ke liye
koi baadal nahin bheje koi saya na kare
an-ginat aankhon mein hum jalte rahe bujhte rahe
ab bhale KHwab hamara koi dekha na kare
hum ne ek shahr basa rakkha hai diwaron mein
kaam jo dil ne kiya chashm-e-tamasha na kare
koi ab ja ke zara dekhe to us miTTi ko
aise sairab kiya hai koi dariya na kare
go faramoshi ki takmil hua chahti hai
phir bhi kah do ki hamein yaad wo aaya na kare
hum use ranj-e-tamanna se to bhar sakte hain
aur ye dil hai ki ab koi taqaza na kare
war karna hai agar hum pe to wo khul kar aae
aur bhule se bhi ye kaam wo tanha na kare
