bujhi jati hai sham-e-zindagi aahista aahista

bujhī jaatī hai sham-e-zindagī āhista āhista

miTī jaatī hai dil kī raushnī āhista āhista

sar-e-dār-o-rasan bhī zindagī ke giit gaatā huuñ

yahāñ tak aa ga.ī dīvāngī āhista āhista

tasavvur meñ hazāroñ mai-kade bante bigaḌte haiñ

musībat ban ga.ī hai tishnagī āhista āhista

maiñ Dartā huuñ kahīñ tauhīn-e-zabt-e-ġham na ho jaa.e

zabāñ banñe lagī hai ḳhāmushī āhista āhista

jamāl-e-dost kī ra.anā.iyāñ añgḌā.ī letī haiñ

nikhartī jā rahī hai chāñdnī āhista āhista

kuchh is andāz se 'faizī' bahāreñ raqs-farmā haiñ

chaman banñe lagī har ik kalī āhista āhista

bujhi jati hai sham-e-zindagi aahista aahista

miTi jati hai dil ki raushni aahista aahista

sar-e-dar-o-rasan bhi zindagi ke git gata hun

yahan tak aa gai diwangi aahista aahista

tasawwur mein hazaron mai-kade bante bigaDte hain

musibat ban gai hai tishnagi aahista aahista

main Darta hun kahin tauhin-e-zabt-e-gham na ho jae

zaban banne lagi hai KHamushi aahista aahista

jamal-e-dost ki ranaiyan angDai leti hain

nikharti ja rahi hai chandni aahista aahista

kuchh is andaz se 'faizi' bahaaren raqs-farma hain

chaman banne lagi har ek kali aahista aahista
