aaj ik aur baras biit gayā us ke baġhair
jis ke hote hue hote the zamāne mere
kachche makān jitne the bārish meñ bah ga.e
varna jo merā dukh thā vo dukh umr bhar kā thā
kachche makan jitne the barish mein bah gae
warna jo mera dukh tha wo dukh umr bhar ka tha
pyāso raho na dasht meñ bārish ke muntazir
maaro zamīñ pe paañv ki paanī nikal paḌe
pyaso raho na dasht mein barish ke muntazir
maro zamin pe panw ki pani nikal paDe
ek hī shahr meñ rahnā hai magar milnā nahīñ
dekhte haiñ ye aziyyat bhī gavāra kar ke
ek hi shahr mein rahna hai magar milna nahin
dekhte hain ye aziyyat bhi gawara kar ke
dil ābād kahāñ rah paa.e us kī yaad bhulā dene se
kamra vīrāñ ho jaatā hai ik tasvīr haTā dene se
dil aabaad kahan rah pae us ki yaad bhula dene se
kamra viran ho jata hai ek taswir haTa dene se
ḳhushk bātoñ meñ kahāñ hai shaiḳh kaif-e-zindagī
vo to pī kar hī milegā jo mazā piine meñ hai
o priest where is the pleasure in this world when dry and sere
tis only when one drinks will then the joy truly appear
KHushk baaton mein kahan hai shaiKH kaif-e-zindagi
wo to pi kar hi milega jo maza pine mein hai
