azal se ta-ba-abad ek hi kahani hai
azal se tā-ba-abad ek hī kahānī hai
isī se ham ko na.ī dāstāñ banānī hai
ujaḌ to saktā hai lekin badal nahīñ saktā
vo haq-shanās jo ik ahd kī nishānī hai
ḳhirad kī bāteñ kahāñ tak karoge dīvāno
ḳhirad ke naam pe kuchh ḳhaak bhī uḌānī hai
tumhāre rañg-e-jafā ko bhī hai qayām kahīñ
hamāre ishq kī manzil to kāmrānī hai
faqat samajhne ke andāz haiñ qadīm o jadīd
fasāna-go ke to lab par vahī kahānī hai
hayāt laakh ho faanī magar ye sun rakhiye
hayāt se jo hai maqsūd ġhair-fānī hai
sunī-sunā.ī pe tarjīh laakh baar us ko
kitāb-e-dil kī 'razā' baat āsmānī hai
azal se ta-ba-abad ek hi kahani hai
isi se hum ko nai dastan banani hai
ujaD to sakta hai lekin badal nahin sakta
wo haq-shanas jo ek ahd ki nishani hai
KHirad ki baaten kahan tak karoge diwano
KHirad ke nam pe kuchh KHak bhi uDani hai
tumhaare rang-e-jafa ko bhi hai qayam kahin
hamare ishq ki manzil to kaamrani hai
faqat samajhne ke andaz hain qadim o jadid
fasana-go ke to lab par wahi kahani hai
hayat lakh ho fani magar ye sun rakhiye
hayat se jo hai maqsud ghair-fani hai
suni-sunai pe tarjih lakh bar us ko
kitab-e-dil ki 'raza' baat aasmani hai
