hamare waste hai ek jina aur mar jaana

hamāre vāste hai ek jiinā aur mar jaanā

ki ham ne zindagī ko jāda-e-rāh-e-safar jaanā

yakāyak manzil-e-āfāt-e-ālam se guzar jaanā

Dareñ kyuuñ maut se jab hai isī kā naam mar jaanā

tirī nazroñ se gir jaanā tire dil se utar jaanā

ye vo uftād hai jis se bahut achchhā hai mar jaanā

javāb-e-abr-e-naisāñ tujh ko ham ne chashm-e-tar jaanā

ki har ik qatra-e-ashk-e-chakīda ko guhar jaanā

talātum aarzū meñ hai na tūfāñ justujū meñ hai

javānī kā guzar jaanā hai dariyā kā utar jaanā

ham apne rahzan o rahbar the lekin sāda-lauhī se

kisī ko rāhzan samjhe kisī ko rāhbar jaanā

maiñ aise rāh-rau kī justujū meñ mar miTā jis ne

tan-e-ḳhākī ko rāh-e-ishq meñ gard-e-safar jaanā

lab-e-bām aa.e tum aur un ke chehre ho ga.e phīke

qamar ne tum ko ḳhurshīd aur sitāroñ ne qamar jaanā

na bhūlegā hameñ 'mahrūm' sub.h-e-roz-e-mahshar tak

kisī kā maut ke āġhosh meñ vaqt-e-sahar jaanā

hamare waste hai ek jina aur mar jaana

ki hum ne zindagi ko jada-e-rah-e-safar jaana

yakayak manzil-e-afat-e-alam se guzar jaana

Daren kyun maut se jab hai isi ka nam mar jaana

teri nazron se gir jaana tere dil se utar jaana

ye wo uftad hai jis se bahut achchha hai mar jaana

jawab-e-abr-e-naisan tujh ko hum ne chashm-e-tar jaana

ki har ek qatra-e-ashk-e-chakida ko guhar jaana

talatum aarzu mein hai na tufan justuju mein hai

jawani ka guzar jaana hai dariya ka utar jaana

hum apne rahzan o rahbar the lekin sada-lauhi se

kisi ko rahzan samjhe kisi ko rahbar jaana

main aise rah-rau ki justuju mein mar miTa jis ne

tan-e-KHaki ko rah-e-ishq mein gard-e-safar jaana

lab-e-baam aae tum aur un ke chehre ho gae phike

qamar ne tum ko KHurshid aur sitaron ne qamar jaana

na bhulega hamein 'mahrum' subh-e-roz-e-mahshar tak

kisi ka maut ke aaghosh mein waqt-e-sahar jaana
