qafas se chhuTne ki kab hawas hai
qafas se chhūTne kī kab havas hai
tasavvur bhī chaman kā ham ko bas hai
bajā.e raḳhna-e-dīvār-e-gulshan
hameñ sayyād ab chāk-e-qafas hai
fuġhāñ kartā hī rahtā hai ye din raat
ilāhī dil hai merā yā jaras hai
kaTeñge umr ke din kab ke be-yār
mujhe ik ik ghaḌī sau sau baras hai
hamārī daad ke ta.iiñ kaun pahuñche
na kui mūnis na kui fariyād-ras hai
galī meñ yaar kī ho jā.iye ḳhaak
mire dil meñ ye muddat se havas hai
safar duniyā se karnā kyā hai 'tābāñ'
adam hastī se rāh-e-yak-nafas hai
qafas se chhuTne ki kab hawas hai
tasawwur bhi chaman ka hum ko bas hai
bajae raKHna-e-diwar-e-gulshan
hamein sayyaad ab chaak-e-qafas hai
fughan karta hi rahta hai ye din raat
ilahi dil hai mera ya jaras hai
kaTenge umr ke din kab ke be-yar
mujhe ek ek ghaDi sau sau baras hai
hamari dad ke tain kaun pahunche
na kui munis na kui fariyaad-ras hai
gali mein yar ki ho jaiye KHak
mere dil mein ye muddat se hawas hai
safar duniya se karna kya hai 'taban'
adam hasti se rah-e-yak-nafas hai
