zindagi dard ki kahani hai
zindagī dard kī kahānī hai
chashm-e-anjum meñ bhī to paanī hai
be-niyāzāna sun liyā ġham-e-dil
mehrbānī hai mehrbānī hai
vo bhalā merī baat kyā maane
us ne apnī bhī baat maanī hai
shola-e-dil hai ye ki sho.ala-sāz
yā tirā shola-e-javānī hai
vo kabhī rañg vo kabhī ḳhushbū
gaah gul gaah rāt-rānī hai
ban ke ma.asūm sab ko taaḌ ga.ī
aañkh us kī baḌī siyānī hai
āp-bītī kaho ki jag-bītī
har kahānī mirī kahānī hai
donoñ aalam haiñ jis ke zer-e-nagīñ
dil usī ġham kī rājdhānī hai
ham to ḳhush haiñ tirī jafā par bhī
be-sabab terī sargirānī hai
sar-ba-sar ye farāz-e-mahr-o-qamar
terī uThtī huī javānī hai
aaj bhī sun rahe haiñ qissa-e-ishq
go kahānī bahut purānī hai
zabt kiije to dil hai añgārā
aur agar roiye to paanī hai
hai Thikānā ye dar hī us kā bhī
dil bhī terā hī āstānī hai
un se aise meñ jo na ho jaa.e
nau-javānī hai nau-javānī hai
dil mirā aur ye ġham-e-duniyā
kyā tire ġham kī pāsbānī hai
gardish-e-chashm-e-sāqī-e-daurāñ
daur-e-aflāk kī bhī paanī hai
ai lab-e-nāz kyā haiñ vo asrār
ḳhāmushī jin kī tarjumānī hai
mai-kadoñ ke bhī hosh uḌne lage
kyā tirī aañkh kī javānī hai
ḳhud-kushī par hai aaj āmāda
are duniyā baḌī divānī hai
koī iz.hār-e-nā-ḳhushī bhī nahīñ
bad-gumānī sī bad-gumānī hai
mujh se kahtā thā kal farishta-e-ishq
zindagī hijr kī kahānī hai
bahr-e-hastī bhī jis meñ kho jaa.e
buuñd meñ bhī vo be-karānī hai
mil ga.e ḳhaak meñ tire ushshāq
ye bhī ik amr-e-āsmānī hai
zindagī intizār hai terā
ham ne ik baat aaj jaanī hai
kyuuñ na ho ġham se hī qimāsh us kā
husn tasvīr-e-shādmānī hai
suunī duniyā meñ ab to maiñ huuñ aur
mātam-e-ishq-e-āñ-jahānī hai
kuchh na pūchho 'firāq' ahd-e-shabāb
raat hai niiñd hai kahānī hai
zindagi dard ki kahani hai
chashm-e-anjum mein bhi to pani hai
be-niyazana sun liya gham-e-dil
mehrbani hai mehrbani hai
wo bhala meri baat kya mane
us ne apni bhi baat mani hai
shola-e-dil hai ye ki shoala-saz
ya tera shola-e-jawani hai
wo kabhi rang wo kabhi KHushbu
gah gul gah raat-rani hai
ban ke masum sab ko taD gai
aankh us ki baDi siyani hai
aap-biti kaho ki jag-biti
har kahani meri kahani hai
donon aalam hain jis ke zer-e-nagin
dil usi gham ki rajdhani hai
hum to KHush hain teri jafa par bhi
be-sabab teri sargirani hai
sar-ba-sar ye faraaz-e-mahr-o-qamar
teri uThti hui jawani hai
aaj bhi sun rahe hain qissa-e-ishq
go kahani bahut purani hai
zabt kije to dil hai angara
aur agar roiye to pani hai
hai Thikana ye dar hi us ka bhi
dil bhi tera hi aastani hai
un se aise mein jo na ho jae
nau-jawani hai nau-jawani hai
dil mera aur ye gham-e-duniya
kya tere gham ki pasbani hai
gardish-e-chashm-e-saqi-e-dauran
daur-e-aflak ki bhi pani hai
ai lab-e-naz kya hain wo asrar
KHamushi jin ki tarjumani hai
mai-kadon ke bhi hosh uDne lage
kya teri aankh ki jawani hai
KHud-kushi par hai aaj aamada
are duniya baDi diwani hai
koi izhaar-e-na-KHushi bhi nahin
bad-gumani si bad-gumani hai
mujh se kahta tha kal farishta-e-ishq
zindagi hijr ki kahani hai
bahr-e-hasti bhi jis mein kho jae
bund mein bhi wo be-karani hai
mil gae KHak mein tere ushshaq
ye bhi ek amr-e-asmani hai
zindagi intizar hai tera
hum ne ek baat aaj jaani hai
kyun na ho gham se hi qimash us ka
husn taswir-e-shadmani hai
suni duniya mein ab to main hun aur
matam-e-ishq-e-an-jahani hai
kuchh na puchho 'firaq' ahd-e-shabab
raat hai nind hai kahani hai
