ek inqalab-e-musalsal hai zindagi meri

ik inqalāb-e-musalsal hai zindagī merī

ik iztirāb-e-mukammal hai ḳhāmushī merī

ye kis maqām pe pahuñchī ḳhud-āgahī merī

ki aaj aap ne mahsūs kī kamī merī

mizāj-e-husn ko bhaa.ī na bandagī merī

niyāz-e-ishq meñ shāmil rahī ḳhudī merī

muhīt-e-kaun-o-makāñ hai jamāl-e-parda-nashīñ

vo sāmne the jahāñ tak nazar ga.ī merī

hadīs-e-dil ba-zabān-e-nazar bhī kah na sakā

huzūr-e-husn baḌhī aur bebasī merī

guloñ kā zikr hī kyā gul to ḳhair gul hī haiñ

chaman ke ḳhaar uḌāte haiñ ab hañsī merī

pilā pilā ke nigāhoñ se bāda-e-taskīñ

baḌhā rahā hai koī aur tishnagī merī

rulā rulā ke zamāne ne intiqām liyā

mujhe to raas na aa.ī kabhī hañsī merī

tirī nigāh ne kyā de ke shād-kām kiyā

ki be-niyāz-e-tamannā hai zindagī merī

rulā.egī mirī yaad un ko muddatoñ 'zauqī'

kareñge bazm meñ mahsūs jab kamī merī

ek inqalab-e-musalsal hai zindagi meri

ek iztirab-e-mukammal hai KHamushi meri

ye kis maqam pe pahunchi KHud-agahi meri

ki aaj aap ne mahsus ki kami meri

mizaj-e-husn ko bhai na bandagi meri

niyaz-e-ishq mein shamil rahi KHudi meri

muhit-e-kaun-o-makan hai jamal-e-parda-nashin

wo samne the jahan tak nazar gai meri

hadis-e-dil ba-zaban-e-nazar bhi kah na saka

huzur-e-husn baDhi aur bebasi meri

gulon ka zikr hi kya gul to KHair gul hi hain

chaman ke KHar uDate hain ab hansi meri

pila pila ke nigahon se baada-e-taskin

baDha raha hai koi aur tishnagi meri

rula rula ke zamane ne intiqam liya

mujhe to ras na aai kabhi hansi meri

teri nigah ne kya de ke shad-kaam kiya

ki be-niyaz-e-tamanna hai zindagi meri

rulaegi meri yaad un ko muddaton 'zauqi'

karenge bazm mein mahsus jab kami meri
