in shandar mahlon ko kya karun main le kar
lagta nahin hai mera dil aah in mein dam bhar

in mein nahin hai meri dil-bastagi ka manzar
dil kash kahin hai is se ujda hua mera ghar

mil jae kash mujh ko ghar aah! mera pyara
ghurbat mein mujh ko rahna dam bhar nahin gawara

hain barkaten utarti jis ghar mein aasman se
pyara hai aah wo ghar mere liye jahan se

ai ghar siwa hai dil-kash to rauza-e-jinan se
han tu aziz-tar hai mujh ko hazar jaan se

mil jae kash mujh ko ghar aah! mera pyara
ghurbat mein mujh ko rahna dam bhar nahin gawara

aawara-e-watan hun gum-karda-khanuman hun
sahra mein muddaton se mein gard-e-karwan hun

ro ro ke aah karta misl-e-jaras fughan hun
ghurbat mein main ragadta barson se ediyan hun

mil jae kash mujh ko ghar aah! mera pyara
ghurbat mein mujh ko rahna dam bhar nahin gawara

tha chhoti chhoti chidiyon ko main jahan bulata
aur git tha khushi ke maqdam mein un ke gata

wo ghar mein thin chahakti main ghar mein gungunata
tanen sunati thin wo main loriyan sunata

mil jae kash mujh ko ghar aah! mera pyara
ghurbat mein mujh ko rahna dam bhar nahin gawara
