umr ki is naw ka chalna bhi kya rukna bhi kya

umr kī is naav kā chalnā bhī kyā ruknā bhī kyā

kirmak-e-shab huuñ mirā jalnā bhī kyā bujhnā bhī kyā

ik nazar us chashm-e-tar kā merī jānib dekhnā

āb-shār-e-nūr kā phir ḳhaak par girnā bhī kyā

zaḳhm kā lagnā hameñ darkār thā so is ke ba.ad

zaḳhm kā risnā bhī kyā aur zaḳhm kā bharnā bhī kyā

tere ghar tak aa chukī hai duur ke jañgal kī aag

ab tirā is aag se Darnā bhī kyā laḌnā bhī kyā

dar darīche vā magar bāzār-e-galiyāñ mohr-band

aise zālim shahr meñ jiinā bhī kyā marnā bhī kyā

tujh se ai sañg-e-sadā is reza reza daur meñ

ik zarā se dil kī ḳhātir dostī karnā bhī kyā

umr ki is naw ka chalna bhi kya rukna bhi kya

kirmak-e-shab hun mera jalna bhi kya bujhna bhi kya

ek nazar us chashm-e-tar ka meri jaanib dekhna

aab-shaar-e-nur ka phir KHak par girna bhi kya

zaKHm ka lagna hamein darkar tha so is ke baad

zaKHm ka risna bhi kya aur zaKHm ka bharna bhi kya

tere ghar tak aa chuki hai dur ke jangal ki aag

ab tera is aag se Darna bhi kya laDna bhi kya

dar dariche wa magar bazar-e-galiyan mohr-band

aise zalim shahr mein jina bhi kya marna bhi kya

tujh se ai sang-e-sada is reza reza daur mein

ek zara se dil ki KHatir dosti karna bhi kya
