aaj ik aur baras biit gayā us ke baġhair
jis ke hote hue hote the zamāne mere
ik raat vo gayā thā jahāñ baat rok ke
ab tak rukā huā huuñ vahīñ raat rok ke
ek raat wo gaya tha jahan baat rok ke
ab tak ruka hua hun wahin raat rok ke
har nafas umr-e-guzishta kī hai mayyat 'fānī'
zindagī naam hai mar mar ke jiye jaane kā
har nafas umr-e-guzishta ki hai mayyat 'fani'
zindagi nam hai mar mar ke jiye jaane ka
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
ḳhudā ke vāste is ko na Toko
yahī ik shahr meñ qātil rahā hai
KHuda ke waste is ko na Toko
yahi ek shahr mein qatil raha hai
kab lauTā hai bahtā paanī bichhḌā sājan rūThā dost
ham ne us ko apnā jaanā jab tak haath meñ dāmāñ thā
kab lauTa hai bahta pani bichhDa sajan ruTha dost
hum ne us ko apna jaana jab tak hath mein daman tha
