azāb-e-zindagī āḳhir azāb-e-āḳhirat niklā

hazāroñ baar mar-mar ke yahāñ jiinā paḌā mujh ko

azab-e-zindagi aaKHir azab-e-aKHirat nikla

hazaron bar mar-mar ke yahan jina paDa mujh ko

kiyā ishq-e-majāzī ne haqīqat āshnā mujh ko

butoñ ne zulm vo Dhāyā ki yaad aaya ḳhudā mujh ko

kiya ishq-e-majazi ne haqiqat aashna mujh ko

buton ne zulm wo Dhaya ki yaad aaya KHuda mujh ko

na rakhnā thā kahīñ kā bhī na rakkhā zauq-e-hastī ne

tamāshā karnā thā āḳhir tamāshā kar diyā mujh ko

na rakhna tha kahin ka bhi na rakkha zauq-e-hasti ne

tamasha karna tha aaKHir tamasha kar diya mujh ko
