ab aur der na kar hashr barpā karne meñ

mirī nazar tire dīdār ko tarastī hai

ab aur der na kar hashr barpa karne mein

meri nazar tere didar ko tarasti hai

chale the jis kī taraf vo nishān ḳhatm huā

safar adhūrā rahā āsmān ḳhatm huā

chale the jis ki taraf wo nishan KHatm hua

safar adhura raha aasman KHatm hua

kaisā insāñ taras rahā hai jiine ko

kaise sāhil par ik machhlī zinda hai

kaisa insan taras raha hai jine ko

kaise sahil par ek machhli zinda hai

har ek saañs mujhe khīñchtī hai us kī taraf

ye kaun mere liye be-qarār rahtā hai

har ek sans mujhe khinchti hai us ki taraf

ye kaun mere liye be-qarar rahta hai

aatā thā jis ko dekh ke tasvīr kā ḳhayāl

ab to vo kiil bhī mirī dīvār meñ nahīñ

aata tha jis ko dekh ke taswir ka KHayal

ab to wo kil bhi meri diwar mein nahin
