har ujala nai sahar to nahin
har ujālā na.ī sahar to nahīñ
raat kī umr rāt-bhar to nahīñ
aadmī chand gaam baḌh na sake
zindagī itnī muḳhtasar to nahīñ
ik ujālā sā saath rahtā hai
sochtā huuñ tirī nazar to nahīñ
ek hañgām hai bayābāñ meñ
koī āmāda-e-safar to nahīñ
vaqt be-shak aziim hai lekin
mujh se tujh se azīm-tar to nahīñ
duur kuchh saa.e se haiñ sahrā meñ
rāh-e-gum-karda ham-safar to nahīñ
aap jo bhī kaheñ vo sach 'ajmal'
aap ab itne mo'atabar to nahīñ
har ujala nai sahar to nahin
raat ki umr raat-bhar to nahin
aadmi chand gam baDh na sake
zindagi itni muKHtasar to nahin
ek ujala sa sath rahta hai
sochta hun teri nazar to nahin
ek hangam hai bayaban mein
koi aamada-e-safar to nahin
waqt be-shak azim hai lekin
mujh se tujh se azim-tar to nahin
dur kuchh sae se hain sahra mein
rah-e-gum-karda ham-safar to nahin
aap jo bhi kahen wo sach 'ajmal'
aap ab itne mo'atabar to nahin
