jab pursish-e-haal wo farmate hain jaaniye kya ho jata hai

jab pursish-e-hāl vo farmāte haiñ jāniye kyā ho jaatā hai

kuchh yuuñ bhī zabāñ nahīñ khultī kuchh dard sivā ho jaatā hai

ab ḳhair se un kī bazm kā itnā rañg to badlā mere ba.ad

jab naam mirā aa jaatā hai kuchh zikr-e-vafā ho jaatā hai

yaktā-e-zamāna hone par sāhab ye ġhurūr ḳhudā.ī kā

sab kuchh ho magar ḳhākam-ba-dahan kyā koī ḳhudā ho jaatā hai

qatra qatra rahtā hai dariyā se judā rah sakne tak

jo tāb-e-judā.ī lā na sake vo qatra fanā ho jaatā hai

phir dil se 'fānī' saare ke saare naqsh-e-jafā miT jaate haiñ

jis vaqt vo zālim sāmne aa kar jān-e-hayā ho jaatā hai

jab pursish-e-haal wo farmate hain jaaniye kya ho jata hai

kuchh yun bhi zaban nahin khulti kuchh dard siwa ho jata hai

ab KHair se un ki bazm ka itna rang to badla mere baad

jab nam mera aa jata hai kuchh zikr-e-wafa ho jata hai

yakta-e-zamana hone par sahab ye ghurur KHudai ka

sab kuchh ho magar KHakam-ba-dahan kya koi KHuda ho jata hai

qatra qatra rahta hai dariya se juda rah sakne tak

jo tab-e-judai la na sake wo qatra fana ho jata hai

phir dil se 'fani' sare ke sare naqsh-e-jafa miT jate hain

jis waqt wo zalim samne aa kar jaan-e-haya ho jata hai
