aaj ik aur baras biit gayā us ke baġhair
jis ke hote hue hote the zamāne mere
dekh raftār-e-inqalāb 'firāq'
kitnī āhista aur kitnī tez
dekh raftar-e-inqalab 'firaq'
kitni aahista aur kitni tez
zindagī kyā hai aaj ise ai dost
soch leñ aur udaas ho jaa.eñ
zindagi kya hai aaj ise ai dost
soch len aur udas ho jaen
umr-e-darāz maañg ke laa.ī thī chaar din
do aarzū meñ kaT ga.e do intizār meñ
a long life, four days in all, I did negotiate
two were spent in hope and two were spent in wait
umr-e-daraaz mang ke lai thi chaar din
do aarzu mein kaT gae do intizar mein
maiñ akelā hī chalā thā jānib-e-manzil magar
log saath aate ga.e aur kārvāñ bantā gayā
main akela hi chala tha jaanib-e-manzil magar
log sath aate gae aur karwan banta gaya
na paak hogā kabhī husn o ishq kā jhagḌā
vo qissa hai ye ki jis kā koī gavāh nahīñ
na pak hoga kabhi husn o ishq ka jhagDa
wo qissa hai ye ki jis ka koi gawah nahin
