MAAN TO RAKH NAHI US NE BANAAYA HAI MAZAAQ,
TAAJ TERE LIYE SHAAYED YEH QASEEDA HAI MAZAAQ,
IK SHAHANSHAAH NE DAULAT KA SAHARA LEKAR,
HAM GHARIIBO'N KI MOHABBAT KA URHAAYA HAI MAZAAQ,
DAULAT O ZAR SE NA TAAMEER HUA TAJ MAHAL
SIRF PAT'THER SE NA TAAMEER HUA TAAJ MAHAL,
KOI TAAYEEDE MOHABBAT THI KOI JAZBA THA,
YU'N HI MAR MAR SE NA TAAMEER HUA TAJ MAHAL,
RAUSHNI DIN KI SIYA RAAT MEI'N ZAM KARSAKTE,
US KE MACHLE HUE JAZBAAT MEI'N ZAM KAR SAKTE,
KAASH WOH RAKHTA AGAR MAANIE ULFAT KI SAMAJH,
TUJHKO SAAHIR KE KHEYAALAT MEI'N ZAM KAR SAKTE.
