apne jalne mein kisi ko nahin karte hain sharik

raat ho jae to hum shama bujha dete hain

samjhegā aadmī ko vahāñ kaun aadmī

banda jahāñ ḳhudā ko ḳhudā māntā nahīñ

samjhega aadmi ko wahan kaun aadmi

banda jahan KHuda ko KHuda manta nahin

ik roz chhīn legī hamīñ se zamīñ hameñ

kabhi wo na samjhe kabhi hum na samjhe

aap ke lab pe aur vafā qasam

kyā qasam khaa.ī hai ḳhudā qasam

kahiye jaltī rahe sham.a bujhā jaa.e

aap aae hain so ab ghar mein ujala hai bahut

kahiye jalti rahe ya shama bujha di jae

kab tak najāt pā.eñge vahm o yaqīñ se ham

uljhe hue haiñ aaj bhī duniyā o diiñ se ham

kab tak najat paenge wahm o yaqin se hum

uljhe hue hain aaj bhi duniya o din se hum

achchhā huā ki sab dar-o-dīvār gir paḌe

ab raushnī to hai mire ghar meñ havā to hai

achchha hua ki sab dar-o-diwar gir paDe

ab raushni to hai mere ghar mein hawa to hai

ā.īna kaisā thā vo shām-e-shakebā.ī

sāmnā kar na sakā apnī bīnā.ī

aaina kaisa tha wo sham-e-shakebai ka

samna kar na saka apni hi binai ka

raushnī ḳhud bhī charāġhoñ se alag rahtī hai

dil meñ jo rahte haiñ vo dil nahīñ hone paate

raushni KHud bhi charaghon se alag rahti hai

dil mein jo rahte hain wo dil nahin hone pate

aisā bhī koī ġham hai jo tum se nahīñ paayā

aisā bhī koī dard hai jo dil meñ nahīñ hai

aisa bhi koi gham hai jo tum se nahin paya

aisa bhi koi dard hai jo dil mein nahin hai

kaam jab tak na paḌā thā ġham-e-jānāñ se hameñ

gham-e-dauran ko baDi chiz samajh rakkha tha

kaam jab tak na paDa tha gham-e-jaanan se hamein

ḳhvāhishoñ ne dil ko tasvīr-e-tamannā kar diyā

ik nazar ne aa.ine meñ aks gahrā kar diyā

KHwahishon ne dil ko taswir-e-tamanna kar diya

ek nazar ne aaine mein aks gahra kar diya

kamāl-e-zabt meñ yuuñ ashk-e-muztar TuuT kar niklā

asīr-e-ġham koī zindāñ se jaise chhūT kar niklā

kamal-e-zabt mein yun ashk-e-muztar TuT kar nikla

ḳharīd laa.e haiñ sastī adāvateñ kyā kyā

gae the naqd-e-giran-maya-e-KHulus ke sath

KHarid lae hain sasti adawaten kya kya

havas-parast adīboñ pe had lage koī

tabāh karte haiñ lafzoñ ismateñ kyā kyā

hawas-parast adibon pe had lage koi

tabah karte hain lafzon ki ismaten kya kya

musāfirān-e-rah-e-shauq sust-e-gām ho kyuuñ

qadam baḌhā.e hue haañ qadam baḌhā.e hue

musafiran-e-rah-e-shauq sust-e-gam ho kyun

qadam baDhae hue han qadam baDhae hue

TukḌe hue the dāman-e-hastī ke jis qadar

dalq-e-gadā-e-ishq ke paivand ho ga.e

TukDe hue the daman-e-hasti ke jis qadar

dalq-e-gada-e-ishq ke paiwand ho gae

ā.īne se fursat ho to tasvīr-e-'sabā' dekh

is shan ka aashufta-o-hairan na milega

aaine se fursat ho to taswir-e-'saba' dekh
