Pyaasa Verses

Tang aa chuke hain kash-ma-kash-e-zindagi se hum

Thukraa na de jahaan ko kahin bedilli se hum

Hum gham-zadaa hain, layein kahan se khushi ke geet,

Kahan se khushi ke geet,

Denge wohi jo paayenge is zindagi se hum.

Ubhrenge ek baar abhi dil ke valvale

Abhi dil ke vavale

Maana ke dab gaaye hain gham-e-zindagi se hum.

Lo aaj humne tod diya

Lo aaj humne tod diya rishta-e-umeed

Rishta -e-umeed

Lo ab kabhi ghilaa na karenge kisi se hum.

Main phool taank raha hun tumhare joode mein,

Tumhari aankh massarat se jhukti jaati hai.

Na jaane aaj main kya baat kehne wala hun,

Zaban khushk hai, aawaz rukti jaati hai.

Khayal-o-khwaab ki parchhaiyaan ubharti hain,

Mere gale mein tumhari udaas baahein hain,

Tumhare hothon pe mere labon ke saaye hain.

Tumhe yakeen ke hum ab kabhi na bichhadenge,

Mujhe ghuman ke hum milke bhi paraye hain.

Khayal-o-khwaab ki parchhaiyaan ubharti hain.

Zaraa mulk ke raahbaron ko bulaao,

Ye kooche ye galiyaan ye manzar dikhaao,

Jinhe naaz hai Hind par unko laao.

Jinhe naaz hai Hind par, woh kahaan hain?

Kahaan hain, kahaan hain, kahaan hain?
