sair kar duniyā kī ġhāfil zindagānī phir kahāñ

zindagī gar kuchh rahī to ye javānī phir kahāñ

sair kar duniya ki ghafil zindagani phir kahan

zindagi gar kuchh rahi to ye jawani phir kahan

nahīñ shikva mujhe kuchh bevafā.ī kā tirī hargiz

gilā tab ho agar tū ne kisī se bhī nibhā.ī ho

nahin shikwa mujhe kuchh bewafai ka teri hargiz

gila tab ho agar tu ne kisi se bhi nibhai ho

zindagī hai yā koī tūfān hai!

ham to is jiine ke hāthoñ mar chale

zindagi hai ya koi tufan hai!

hum to is jine ke hathon mar chale

aziyyat musībat malāmat balā.eñ

tire ishq meñ ham ne kyā kyā na dekhā

aziyyat musibat malamat balaen

tere ishq mein hum ne kya kya na dekha

tar-dāmanī pe shaiḳh hamārī na jā.iyo

dāman nichoḌ deñ to farishte vazū kareñ

tar-damani pe shaiKH hamari na jaiyo

daman nichoD den to farishte wazu karen
