aaj ik aur baras biit gayā us ke baġhair
jis ke hote hue hote the zamāne mere
yā vo the ḳhafā ham se yā ham haiñ ḳhafā un se
kal un kā zamāna thā aaj apnā zamānā hai
ya wo the KHafa hum se ya hum hain KHafa un se
kal un ka zamana tha aaj apna zamana hai
saḌak pe baiTh ga.e dekhte hue duniyā
aur aise tark huī ek ḳhud-kushī ham se
saDak pe baiTh gae dekhte hue duniya
aur aise tark hui ek KHud-kushi hum se
siyah-baḳhtī meñ kab koī kisī kā saath detā hai
ki tārīkī meñ saayā bhī judā rahtā hai insāñ se
siyah-baKHti mein kab koi kisi ka sath deta hai
ki tariki mein saya bhi juda rahta hai insan se
sham-e-ḳhema koī zanjīr nahīñ ham-safarāñ
jis ko jaanā hai chalā jaa.e ijāzat kaisī
sham-e-KHema koi zanjir nahin ham-safaran
jis ko jaana hai chala jae ijazat kaisi
kitne dinoñ ke pyāse hoñge yaaro socho to
shabnam kā qatra bhī jin ko dariyā lagtā hai
those people have been parched for many many years
to whom even a drop of dew an ocean appears
kitne dinon ke pyase honge yaro socho to
shabnam ka qatra bhi jin ko dariya lagta hai
