aaj ik aur baras biit gayā us ke baġhair
jis ke hote hue hote the zamāne mere
DhūñD ujḌe hue logoñ meñ vafā ke motī
ye ḳhazāne tujhe mumkin hai ḳharāboñ meñ mileñ
seek ye pearls of faithfulness in those lost and drowned
it well could be these treasures in wastelands do abound
DhunD ujDe hue logon mein wafa ke moti
ye KHazane tujhe mumkin hai KHarabon mein milen
sitāroñ se aage jahāñ aur bhī haiñ
abhī ishq ke imtihāñ aur bhī haiñ
sitaron se aage jahan aur bhi hain
abhi ishq ke imtihan aur bhi hain
kahte haiñ umr-e-rafta kabhī lauTtī nahīñ
jā mai-kade se merī javānī uThā ke lā
tis said this fleeting life once gone never returns
go to the tavern and bring back my youth again
kahte hain umr-e-rafta kabhi lauTti nahin
ja mai-kade se meri jawani uTha ke la
yād-e-māzī azaab hai yā-rab
chhīn le mujh se hāfiza merā
yaad-e-mazi azab hai ya-rab
chhin le mujh se hafiza mera
ek ho jaa.eñ to ban sakte haiñ ḳhurshīd-e-mubīñ
varna in bikhre hue tāroñ se kyā kaam bane
ek ho jaen to ban sakte hain KHurshid-e-mubin
warna in bikhre hue taron se kya kaam bane
