aaj ik aur baras biit gayā us ke baġhair
jis ke hote hue hote the zamāne mere
zehn meñ yaad ke ghar TūTne lagte haiñ 'shahāb'
log ho jaate haiñ jī jī ke purāne kitne
zehn mein yaad ke ghar TuTne lagte hain 'shahab'
log ho jate hain ji ji ke purane kitne
umr-e-darāz maañg ke laa.ī thī chaar din
do aarzū meñ kaT ga.e do intizār meñ
a long life, four days in all, I did negotiate
two were spent in hope and two were spent in wait
umr-e-daraaz mang ke lai thi chaar din
do aarzu mein kaT gae do intizar mein
jab aa jaatī hai duniyā ghuum phir kar apne markaz par
to vāpas lauT kar guzre zamāne kyuuñ nahīñ aate
jab aa jati hai duniya ghum phir kar apne markaz par
to wapas lauT kar guzre zamane kyun nahin aate
ḳhud-kushī jurm bhī hai sabr kī tauhīn bhī hai
is liye ishq meñ mar mar ke jiyā jaatā hai
KHud-kushi jurm bhi hai sabr ki tauhin bhi hai
is liye ishq mein mar mar ke jiya jata hai
pahle is meñ ik adā thī naaz thā andāz thā
rūThnā ab to tirī aadat meñ shāmil ho gayā
pahle is mein ek ada thi naz tha andaz tha
ruThna ab to teri aadat mein shamil ho gaya
