jad kade us be-wafa de

jad kade us be-vafā de

huN shahir jāvāngā maiñ

kis nuuñ apnā kahi sakāngā,

kis de ghar jāvāngā maiñ .

jāpadai us dī galī 'choñ

langh sakūñ kujh is tarhāñ,

do kadam challāngā te

muḌ ke Thahir jāvāngā maiñ .

uss de ghar te qatalgāh

vichkār jad pahunchāngā maiñ,

kī patai dil vich kī aave

te kidhar jāvāngā maiñ.

ih taañ us dā ho gi.ā sii,

pher hai mere ki.uñ kol,

jāndā jāndā dil, uhdī

sardal te dhar jāvāngā maiñ .

lakkh yatan bhāveñ karāngā

ki nā odhar muuñh karāñ,

raah uhde ghar dā hī ho.ū

par jidhar jāvāngā maiñ.

apne rāhāñ te nahīñ

ikk suul sahi saki.ā kadī,

osde rāhāñ te par

suulī vī jar jāvāngā maiñ .

lok vekhaNge tamāshā

jo kade nā vekhi.ā,

laash apnī hī uThā ke

jad guzar jāvāngā maiñ

jad kade us be-wafa de

huN shahir jawanga main

kis nun apna kahi sakanga,

kis de ghar jawanga main

japadai us di gali 'chon

langh sakun kujh is tarhan,

do kadam challanga te

muD ke Thahir jawanga main

uss de ghar te qatalgah

wichkar jad pahunchanga main,

ki patai dil wich ki aawe

te kidhar jawanga main

ih tan us da ho gia si,

pher hai mere kiun kol,

jaanda jaanda dil, uhdi

sardal te dhar jawanga main

lakkh yatan bhawen karanga

ki na odhar munh karan,

rah uhde ghar da hi hou

par jidhar jawanga main

apne rahan te nahin

ikk sul sahi sakia kadi,

osde rahan te par

suli wi jar jawanga main

lok wekhaNge tamasha

jo kade na wekhia,

lash apni hi uTha ke

jad guzar jawanga main
