aaj bhi mushkilat kam to nahin

aaj bhī mushkilāt kam to nahīñ

bārish-e-hādsāt kam to nahīñ

ek sūraj ġhurūb hone se

raunaq-e-kā.enāt kam to nahīñ

kyuuñ shikāyat hai mausam-e-gul se

shāḳh par phūl-pāt kam to nahīñ

umr bhar kī rafāqatoñ ke ba.ad

hijr kī ek raat kam to nahīñ

us kī marzī se chaar din jiinā

is qadar bhī hayāt kam to nahīñ

maiñ tirī zaat hī kā hissa huuñ

mujh meñ terī sifāt kam to nahīñ

vaqt se kyā gila karūñ 'shāhid'

vaqt kā iltifāt kam to nahīñ

aaj bhi mushkilat kam to nahin

barish-e-hadsat kam to nahin

ek suraj ghurub hone se

raunaq-e-kaenat kam to nahin

kyun shikayat hai mausam-e-gul se

shaKH par phul-pat kam to nahin

umr bhar ki rafaqaton ke baad

hijr ki ek raat kam to nahin

us ki marzi se chaar din jina

is qadar bhi hayat kam to nahin

main teri zat hi ka hissa hun

mujh mein teri sifat kam to nahin

waqt se kya gila karun 'shahid'

waqt ka iltifat kam to nahin
