jahan ahd-e-tamanna KHatm ho jae
jahāñ ahd-e-tamannā ḳhatm ho jaa.e
azāb-e-jāvedānī zindagī hai
rulātī hai mujhe kyuuñ chāñdnī raat
yahī ik raaz merī zindagī hai
ḳhalish ho dard ho kāhish ho kuchh ho
faqat jiinā bhī koī zindagī hai
halāk-anjām takmīl-e-tamannā
baqā-e-ārzū hī zindagī hai
jigar meñ Tiis lab hañsne pe majbūr
kuchh aisī hī hamārī zindagī hai
vo chāhe jis qadar bhī muḳhtasar ho
mohabbat kī javānī zindagī hai
umīdeñ mar chukīñ maiñ jī rahā huuñ
ajab be-iḳhtiyārī zindagī hai
javānī aur hañgāmoñ se ḳhālī
ye jiinā hai ye koī zindagī hai
guzārī thiiñ ḳhushī kī chand ghaḌiyāñ
unhīñ kī yaad merī zindagī hai
mohabbat donoñ jānib se mohabbat
na pūchho aah kaisī zindagī hai
jahan ahd-e-tamanna KHatm ho jae
azab-e-jawedani zindagi hai
rulati hai mujhe kyun chandni raat
yahi ek raaz meri zindagi hai
KHalish ho dard ho kahish ho kuchh ho
faqat jina bhi koi zindagi hai
halak-anjam takmil-e-tamanna
baqa-e-arzu hi zindagi hai
jigar mein Tis lab hansne pe majbur
kuchh aisi hi hamari zindagi hai
wo chahe jis qadar bhi muKHtasar ho
mohabbat ki jawani zindagi hai
umiden mar chukin main ji raha hun
ajab be-iKHtiyari zindagi hai
jawani aur hangamon se KHali
ye jina hai ye koi zindagi hai
guzari thin KHushi ki chand ghaDiyan
unhin ki yaad meri zindagi hai
mohabbat donon jaanib se mohabbat
na puchho aah kaisi zindagi hai
