jaane wale itna bata do phir tum kab tak aaoge

jaane vaale itnā batā do phir tum kab tak aaoge

phuul bhī ab murjhāne lage haiñ, bolo kab apnāoge

dil ke is album meñ to ab bas tasvīr tumhārī hai

man mandir ke dvaar pe apne tum bhī kuchh laTkāoge

raat kī tanhā.ī meñ jab bhī yaad hamārī aa.egī

niiñd tumhārī uḌ jā.egī aur bahut ghabrāoge

pairoñ kī zanjīreñ kaaTo aur himmat se kaam bhī lo

varna qaid meñ rah kar yuuñ hī jīvan bhar pachhtāoge

duniyā kī ik riit purānī, milnā aur bichhaḌnā hai

ek zamāna biit gayā hai tum kab milne aaoge

ab nahīñ aatā hai sandesa koī tumhārī nagrī se

kis ko thā ma.alūm ki tum begāne se ho jāoge

phūloñ ke din biit na jaa.eñ aao aao aa bhī jaao

kab tak jhūTe va.adoñ se tum 'āzam' ko bahlāoge

jaane wale itna bata do phir tum kab tak aaoge

phul bhi ab murjhane lage hain, bolo kab apnaoge

dil ke is album mein to ab bas taswir tumhaari hai

man mandir ke dwar pe apne tum bhi kuchh laTkaoge

raat ki tanhai mein jab bhi yaad hamari aaegi

nind tumhaari uD jaegi aur bahut ghabraoge

pairon ki zanjiren kaTo aur himmat se kaam bhi lo

warna qaid mein rah kar yun hi jiwan bhar pachhtaoge

duniya ki ek rit purani, milna aur bichhaDna hai

ek zamana bit gaya hai tum kab milne aaoge

ab nahin aata hai sandesa koi tumhaari nagri se

kis ko tha malum ki tum begane se ho jaoge

phulon ke din bit na jaen aao aao aa bhi jao

kab tak jhuTe wadon se tum 'azam' ko bahlaoge
