sukun talash na kar aarzu ke diwane

sukūñ talāsh na kar aarzū ke dīvāne

jo zindagī ne diyā hai vo zindagī jaane

is ehtimām se aksar uThe haiñ paimāne

ki buuñd buuñd ko maiñ jānoñ yā ḳhudā jaane

dukhe hue dil-e-ādam meñ hai umiid kī dhuum

haiñ ek baat se paidā hazār afsāne

charāġh-e-rah se ġharaz hai na naqsh-e-pā kī talāsh

ye rah-ravī koī nā-karda-rāh kyā jaane

kidhar ko ruḳh kare yārab mirā mazāq-e-sujūd

ki aaj qibla-e-dil ka.aba hai na but-ḳhāne

maiñ intihā-e-masarrat ko zindagī kar duuñ

agar nizām-e-tamannā mirā kahā maane

sañbhal ai hosh zarā kal kī fikr kar saaqī

chhalak na jaa.eñ kahīñ bhar chuke haiñ paimāne

sukun talash na kar aarzu ke diwane

jo zindagi ne diya hai wo zindagi jaane

is ehtimam se aksar uThe hain paimane

ki bund bund ko main jaanon ya KHuda jaane

dukhe hue dil-e-adam mein hai umid ki dhum

hain ek baat se paida hazar afsane

charagh-e-rah se gharaz hai na naqsh-e-pa ki talash

ye rah-rawi koi na-karda-rah kya jaane

kidhar ko ruKH kare yarab mera mazaq-e-sujud

ki aaj qibla-e-dil kaba hai na but-KHane

main intiha-e-masarrat ko zindagi kar dun

agar nizam-e-tamanna mera kaha mane

sanbhal ai hosh zara kal ki fikr kar saqi

chhalak na jaen kahin bhar chuke hain paimane
