hum ko miTa sake ye zamane mein dam nahin
ham ko miTā sake ye zamāne meñ dam nahīñ
ham se zamāna ḳhud hai zamāne se ham nahīñ
be-fā.eda alam nahīñ be-kār ġham nahīñ
taufīq de ḳhudā to ye nemat bhī kam nahīñ
merī zabāñ pe shikva-e-ahl-e-sitam nahīñ
mujh ko jagā diyā yahī ehsān kam nahīñ
yā rab hujūm-e-dard ko de aur vus.ateñ
dāman to kyā abhī mirī āñkheñ bhī nam nahīñ
shikva to ek chheḌ hai lekin haqīqatan
terā sitam bhī terī ināyat se kam nahīñ
ab ishq us maqām pe hai justujū-navard
saaya nahīñ jahāñ koī naqsh-e-qadam nahīñ
miltā hai kyuuñ maza sitam-e-rozgār meñ
terā karam bhī ḳhud jo sharīk-e-sitam nahīñ
marg-e-'jigar' pe kyuuñ tirī āñkheñ haiñ ashk-rez
ik sāneha sahī magar itnā aham nahīñ
hum ko miTa sake ye zamane mein dam nahin
hum se zamana KHud hai zamane se hum nahin
be-faeda alam nahin be-kar gham nahin
taufiq de KHuda to ye nemat bhi kam nahin
meri zaban pe shikwa-e-ahl-e-sitam nahin
mujh ko jaga diya yahi ehsan kam nahin
ya rab hujum-e-dard ko de aur wusaten
daman to kya abhi meri aankhen bhi nam nahin
shikwa to ek chheD hai lekin haqiqatan
tera sitam bhi teri inayat se kam nahin
ab ishq us maqam pe hai justuju-naward
saya nahin jahan koi naqsh-e-qadam nahin
milta hai kyun maza sitam-e-rozgar mein
tera karam bhi KHud jo sharik-e-sitam nahin
marg-e-'jigar' pe kyun teri aankhen hain ashk-rez
ek saneha sahi magar itna aham nahin
