yahaa main ajanabee hoon, main jo hoon bas wahee hoon

kahaa shaama-o-sahar ye, kahaa din raat mere
bahot rusawaan huye hai, yahaa jajabaat mere
nayee tahajeeb hain ye, nayaa hain ye jamaanaa,
magar main aadamee hoo wahee sadiyon puraanaa
mai kyaa jaanoo ye baate, jaraa insaaf karanaa
meree gustaakhiyon ko khudaaraa maanf karanaa

teree baahon mein dekhoo, sanam gairon kee baahe
mai laaoongaa kahaa se, bhalaa ayesee nigaahe
ye koee raks hogaa, koee dastoor hogaa
muze dastoor ayesaa kahaa manjoor hogaa
bhalaa kaise ye meraa, lahoo ho jaaye paanee
mai kaise bhool jaaoo, main hoo hindusthaanee

muze bhee hain shikaayat  tuze bhee to gilaa hai
yahee shikawe humaaree mohabbat kaa silaa hai
kabhee magareeb se mashareek milaa hain jo milegaa
jahaa kaa fool hain jo, wahee pe wo khilegaa
tere unche mahal mein, naheen meraa gujaaraa
muze yaad aa rahaa hai, wo chhotaa saa shikaaraa
