Kab se hoon kya bataaoon
Jahaan-e-kharaab mein
Kab se hoon kya bataaoon
Jahaan-e-kharaab mein
Shab haaye hizr ko bhi
Rakhoon gar hisaab mein
Taakhir na intezaar mein
Neend aaye umr bhar
Taakhir na intezaar mein
Neend aaye umr bhar
Aane ka ehed kar gaye
Aaye jo khwaab mein
Kab se hoon kya bataaoon
Jahaan-e-kharaab mein
Qaasid ke aate aate khat
Ik aur likh rakhoon
Qaasid ke aate aate khat
Ik aur likh rakhoon
Main jaanta hoon jo
Wo likhenge jawaab mein
Kab se hoon kya bataaoon
Jahaan-e-kharaab mein.
