bahut KHush hai mujhe wo yaad karke

bahut ḳhush hai mujhe vo yaad karke

bharī duniyā merī barbād karke

jalā kar par mere sayyād mujh ko

sazā dete haiñ kyuuñ āzād karke

jalāne kī zarūrat kyuuñ paḌī thī

nasheman ko mere ābād karke

sanam apnā jo Thahrā sañg-e-mūrat

to phir kyā hogā yuuñ fariyād karke

maiñ us kā bas meñ is kā ho gayā huuñ

chalā aayā huuñ ḳhud ko shaad karke

abhī bhī par hamāre haiñ salāmat

ġhamoñ se dekh lo āzād karke

baserā jugnuon meñ kar rahe ho

kabhī sūraj se milnā yaad karke

kabhī mushkil meñ mujh ko yaad karnā

chalā ā.ūñgā ḳhud ko baad karke

samāñ hai bevafā.ī kā ai 'rahbar'

karoge kyā mujhe tum yaad karke

bahut KHush hai mujhe wo yaad karke

bhari duniya meri barbaad karke

jala kar par mere sayyaad mujh ko

saza dete hain kyun aazad karke

jalane ki zarurat kyun paDi thi

nasheman ko mere aabaad karke

sanam apna jo Thahra sang-e-murat

to phir kya hoga yun fariyaad karke

main us ka bas mein is ka ho gaya hun

chala aaya hun KHud ko shad karke

abhi bhi par hamare hain salamat

ghamon se dekh lo aazad karke

basera jugnuon mein kar rahe ho

kabhi suraj se milna yaad karke

kabhi mushkil mein mujh ko yaad karna

chala aaunga KHud ko baad karke

saman hai bewafai ka ai 'rahbar'

karoge kya mujhe tum yaad karke
