ye jabr bhī dekhā hai tārīḳh kī nazroñ ne

lamhoñ ne ḳhatā kī thī sadiyoñ ne sazā paa.ī

ye jabr bhi dekha hai tariKH ki nazron ne

lamhon ne KHata ki thi sadiyon ne saza pai

ḳhud pukāregī jo manzil to Thahar jā.ūñgā

varna ḳhuddār musāfir huuñ guzar jā.ūñgā

KHud pukaregi jo manzil to Thahar jaunga

warna KHuddar musafir hun guzar jaunga

qarīb aao to shāyad samajh meñ aa jaa.e

ki fāsle to ġhalat-fahmiyāñ baḌhāte haiñ

qarib aao to shayad samajh mein aa jae

ki fasle to ghalat-fahmiyan baDhate hain

mujh ko hālāt meñ uljhā huā rahne de yūñhī

maiñ tirī zulf nahīñ huuñ jo sañvar jā.ūñgā

mujh ko haalat mein uljha hua rahne de yunhi

main teri zulf nahin hun jo sanwar jaunga

mere dāman meñ agar kuchh na rahegā baaqī

aglī nasloñ ko duā de ke chalā jā.ūñgā

mere daman mein agar kuchh na rahega baqi

agli naslon ko dua de ke chala jaunga
