aaj ik aur baras biit gayā us ke baġhair
jis ke hote hue hote the zamāne mere
kahūñ kis se maiñ ki kyā hai shab-e-ġham burī balā hai
mujhe kyā burā thā marnā agar ek baar hotā
of gloomy nights alone and sad, to whom should I complain?
Dying just once would not be bad, but each evening again?
kahun kis se main ki kya hai shab-e-gham buri bala hai
mujhe kya bura tha marna agar ek bar hota
lafz o manzar meñ ma.ānī ko TaTolā na karo
hosh vaale ho to har baat ko samjhā na karo
lafz o manzar mein maani ko TaTola na karo
hosh wale ho to har baat ko samjha na karo
ek ik baat meñ sachchā.ī hai us kī lekin
apne va.adoñ se mukar jaane ko jī chāhtā hai
ek ek baat mein sachchai hai us ki lekin
apne wadon se mukar jaane ko ji chahta hai
'hafīz' apnī bolī mohabbat kī bolī
na urdu na hindī na hindostānī
'hafiz' apni boli mohabbat ki boli
na urdu na hindi na hindostani
inhīñ pattharoñ pe chal kar agar aa sako to aao
mire ghar ke rāste meñ koī kahkashāñ nahīñ hai
inhin pattharon pe chal kar agar aa sako to aao
mere ghar ke raste mein koi kahkashan nahin hai
