muddat ton baad

ajj uh aa.e baḌī muddat toñ bāad,

koī shāhzādī jiven,jādūgrāñ de jaal 'choñ,

TūNi.āñ de des 'choñ,

dekh ke velā achānak dauḌ aa.e.

dhaḌakdā dil sahimī-sahimī kujh avāz,

zarad chiharā kambdā saarā sarīr,

is tarhāñ aa.e ne mere sāhmaNe—

muddat toñ baaad .

ajj uh aa.e baḌī muddat toñ bāad,

jis tarhāñ sunghī hoī chakkhī hoī shai dā svād,

yaad aa jaa.e umar guzran toñ bāad,

giit aa jaa.e koī bachchpan dā yaad;

is tarhāñ aa.e te uh muddat toñ baaad .

dil cha kujh,par jiibh te koī savāl,

kahi nahīñ sakdā koī siine dā haal,

maare jānde ne ḳhi.āl,

gal 'cha aḌde ne muhbat de shabad,

kambdī e do javānāñ dī zamīr,

muddtāñ dī ih ġhulāmī dā asar .

ilam de pairāñ 'cha huN tak beḌī.āñ,

raushanī de pair vichch kaḌī.āñ ka.ii,

ruuh samājāñ dī hanerī kaid vichch,

milaN vaale ajj ikk muddat toñ bāad,

gal vī lagg sakde nahīñ,

kandh ikk be-rūp na-disdā faulād,

chāhe aa jaa.e koī muddat toñ bāad;

ih rahī hai darami.ān .

dekh sakkde ne javānī nuuñ galī bazār vichch,

ruldī pa.ī,miTdī pa.ii,

par ijāzat mel dī hundī nahīñ,

ḳhuun vichch ghull-ghull ke lakkhāñ hī javān,

toḌde ne bandhnāñ de raah te jaan .

jā rahe ne muḌke apNe des nuuñ

aauN vaale ih baḌī muddat toñ bāad,

khulī.āñ rahī.āñ ne bāhvāñ dūr-dūr,

sippī.āñ vichch taḌapde motī rahe,

ḳhabre kad tak pher ikk ḳhāmosh yaad ?

pher aa.e gī koī muddat toñ baaad !

ajj uh aae baDi muddat ton baad,

koi shahzadi jiwen,jadugran de jal 'chon,

TuNian de des 'chon,

dekh ke wela achanak dauD aae

dhaDakda dil sahimi-sahimi kujh awaz,

zarad chihara kambda sara sarir,

is tarhan aae ne mere sahmaNe—

muddat ton baad

ajj uh aae baDi muddat ton baad,

jis tarhan sunghi hoi chakkhi hoi shai da swad,

yaad aa jae umar guzran ton baad,

git aa jae koi bachchpan da yaad;

is tarhan aae te uh muddat ton baad

dil cha kujh,par jibh te koi sawal,

kahi nahin sakda koi sine da haal,

mare jaande ne KHial,

gal 'cha aDde ne muhbat de shabad,

kambdi e do jawanan di zamir,

muddtan di ih ghulami da asar

ilam de pairan 'cha huN tak beDian,

raushani de pair wichch kaDian kai,

ruh samajaan di haneri kaid wichch,

milaN wale ajj ikk muddat ton baad,

gal wi lagg sakde nahin,

kandh ikk be-rup na-disda faulad,

chahe aa jae koi muddat ton baad;

ih rahi hai daramian

dekh sakkde ne jawani nun gali bazar wichch,

ruldi pai,miTdi pai,

par ijazat mel di hundi nahin,

KHun wichch ghull-ghull ke lakkhan hi jawan,

toDde ne bandhnan de rah te jaan

ja rahe ne muDke apNe des nun

aauN wale ih baDi muddat ton baad,

khulian rahian ne bahwan dur-dur,

sippian wichch taDapde moti rahe,

KHabre kad tak pher ikk KHamosh yaad ?

pher aae gi koi muddat ton baad !
