umr-e-darāz maañg ke laa.ī thī chaar din

do aarzū meñ kaT ga.e do intizār meñ

umr-e-daraaz mang ke lai thi chaar din

do aarzu mein kaT gae do intizar mein

dil kī bisāt kyā thī nigāh-e-jamāl meñ

ik ā.īna thā TuuT gayā dekh-bhāl meñ

dil ki bisat kya thi nigah-e-jamal mein

ek aaina tha TuT gaya dekh-bhaal mein

māzī-e-marhūm kī nākāmiyoñ kā zikr chhoḌ

zindagī kī fursat-e-bāqī se koī kaam le

mazi-e-marhum ki nakaamiyon ka zikr chhoD

zindagi ki fursat-e-baqi se koi kaam le

roz kahtā huuñ ki ab un ko na dekhūñgā kabhī

rose us kūche meñ ik kaam nikal aatā hai

roz kahta hun ki ab un ko na dekhunga kabhi

rose us kuche mein ek kaam nikal aata hai

pareshāñ hone vāloñ ko sukūñ kuchh mil bhī jaatā hai

pareshāñ karne vāloñ kī pareshānī nahīñ jaatī

pareshan hone walon ko sukun kuchh mil bhi jata hai

pareshan karne walon ki pareshani nahin jati
