| nikal-kar jū-e naġhmah ḳhuld-zār-e māh-o-anjam se
| faẓā kī vusʿatoñ meñ hai ravāñ āhistah āhistah
| bah sū-e nauḥah-ābād-e jahāñ āhistah āhistah
| nikal-kar ā rahī hai ik gulistān-e tarannum se!
| sitāre apne mīṭhe mad bhare halke tabassum se
| kiye jāte haiñ fit̤rat ko javāñ āhistah āhistah
| sunāte haiñ use ik dāstāñ āhistah āhistah
| diyār-e zindagī mad-hosh hai un ke takallum se
| yihī ʿādat hai roz-e avvalīñ se un sitāroñ kī
| chamakte haiñ kih dunyā meñ masarrat kī ḥukūmat ho
| chamakte haiñ kih insāñ fikr-e hastī ko bhulā ḍāle
| liye hai yih tamannā har kiran un nūr pāroñ kī
| kabhī yih ḳhāk-dāñ gahvārah-e ḥusn-o-lat̤āfat ho
| kabhī insān apnī gum-shudah jannat ko phir pā le!

.. admonition:: I Too Have Some Dreams: N. M. Rashed and Modernism in Urdu Poetry

  A translation of this Urdu poem by N. M. Rashed as well as this transliteration appears in the
  appendix of *I Too Have Some Dreams*. The transliteration is intended for
  people who can understand Urdu/Hindi or related languages. I hope to soon 
  add performances of these poems as well.
