Dolat ka tarazoo ma tolo to faqeer hain hum

Dolat ka tarazoo ma tolo to faqeer hain hum

Dard e dil ma hum jaisa nawab koi nahe

Kabhe hum bhe muhabbat ma khud ko badsha samjhtay thay

Charte then us mazar par chadrain be shumar

Charte then  us mazar par chadrain be shumar

Bahir betha ik faqeer sardi sa mar gaya

Main faqeeri se hi karta hoon tijaarat aksar..

Aik paise mein jo lakhon ki dua dete hain..

Be’laus mohabbat ke siwaa kuch bhi nahin..

Be’laus mohabbat ke siwaa kuch bhi nahin,

Chaahe to meri soch ki talaashi le lo..

Roz mujh ko fareb deta hai..

Roz mujh ko fareb deta hai,

Kher us ko yeh zaib deta hai..

روز  مجھ  کو   فریب  دیتا  ہے 

خیر  اس کو  یہ  زیب  دیتا  ہے

Kahan paaon rakhoon zameen nahin..

Yeh hala’aa* hai arsh-e-bareen* nahin,

Kahan paaon rakhoon zameen nahin,

Tere dar pe sajde ka shauq hai,

Jo yahan nahin to kaheen naheen..

(hala’aa;space, arsh;sky, bareen;whole, arsh-e-bareen;whole sky)

Har shakhss meri zaat se janey ke liye tha..

Har shakhss meri zaat se janey ke liye tha,

Tu bhi meri zaat se janey ke liye hai..

Sochte hoon bana hi daloon main..

Sochte hoon bana hi daloon main,

Ek firqaa udaas logon ka..
