IK UMR JIS KHALISH NE HAME'N DAR BADAR KIYA,
AASOODAE HEYAAT WOH KARTI HAI AAJ KIYO'N,
LIZZAT KISI KE QARB KI AE GARDISHE HAYAAT,
IK MAUJE TAH NASHEE'N THII UBHARTI HAI AAJ KIYO'N,
AFSURDA MANZARI SE THII MANOOS HAR NAZAR,
LEKIN JABEENE WAQT CHAMAKTI HAI AAJ KIYO'N,

WOH SHAMA AARZOO KI JAL UTH THI HAI AAJ KIYO'N.
