ch`oRiYe ch`oRiYe yeh raag puraanaa SaaHeb

ch`oRiYe, ch`oRiYe yeh DhaNg puraanaa SaaHib!
Dh`ooNDiYe aap koyee aur bahaanaa SaaHib!

Khatm aaKhir huwaa hastee kaa fasaanaa SaaHib
aap se seekh`e koyee saath` nibh`aanaa SaaHeb!

bh`ool kar hee sahee, KhwaaboN meN chale aaYeN aap
ho gayaa dekh`e huwe ek zamaanaa SaaHeb!

ham ne haath`oN kee lakeeroN meN tumheN Dh`ooNDaa th`aa
woh bh`ee th`aa i'shq kaa kyaa ek zamaanaa SaaHeb!

kyoN gaYe, kaise gaYe, yeh to hameN yaad naheeN
haaN magar yaad hai woh aap kaa aanaa SaaHeb!

koo-e-naakaamee-o-naumeedee-o-Hasratsanjee
ho gayaa ab to yehee apnaa Th`ikaanaa SaaHeb!

qaSr-e-ummeed, woh Hasrat ke HaseeeN Taj Mahal
haaYe kyaa ho gayaa woh Khwaab suhaanaa SaaHeb?

reHm aa jaaYe hai dushman ko bh`ee ik din lekin
tum ne seekh`aa hai kahaaN dil kaa dukh`aanaa SaaHeb?

aate aate hee to aaYe gaa hameN Sabr HuZ^oor
kh`el aisaa to naheeN dil kaa lagaanaa SaaHeb!

is kee baatoN meN kisee t^aur nah aanaa "Sarwar"
dil to deewaanah hai, kyaa is kaa Th`ikaanaa SaaHeb!
