KHushk dariya paDa hai KHwahish ka

ḳhushk dariyā paḌā hai ḳhvāhish kā

ḳhvāb dekhā thā ham ne bārish kā

mustaqil dil jalā.e rakhtā hai

hai ye mausam havā kī sāzish kā

us se kahne ko to bahut kuchh hai

vaqt miltā nahīñ guzārish kā

koī us se to kuchh nahīñ kahtā

bo rahā hai jo beach ranjish kā

pā-ba-zanjīr chal rahe haiñ jo ham

ye bhī pahlū hai ik numā.ish kā

phuul kal the to aaj patthar haiñ

ye bhī andāz hai satā.ish kā

maiñ ne āñkhoñ se guftugū kar lī

ye hunar hai zabāñ kī bandish kā

khil rahe haiñ gulāb zaḳhmoñ ke

shukriya aap kī navāzish kā

jaarī mashq-e-suḳhan rahe 'ejāz'

kuchh sila to milegā kāvish kā

KHushk dariya paDa hai KHwahish ka

KHwab dekha tha hum ne barish ka

mustaqil dil jalae rakhta hai

hai ye mausam hawa ki sazish ka

us se kahne ko to bahut kuchh hai

waqt milta nahin guzarish ka

koi us se to kuchh nahin kahta

bo raha hai jo beach ranjish ka

pa-ba-zanjir chal rahe hain jo hum

ye bhi pahlu hai ek numaish ka

phul kal the to aaj patthar hain

ye bhi andaz hai sataish ka

main ne aankhon se guftugu kar li

ye hunar hai zaban ki bandish ka

khil rahe hain gulab zaKHmon ke

shukriya aap ki nawazish ka

jari mashq-e-suKHan rahe 'ejaz'

kuchh sila to milega kawish ka
