meri taqdir shikwa-sanj daur-e-asman kyun ho
mirī taqdīr shikva-sanj daur-e-āsmāñ kyuuñ ho
mile jab dard meñ lazzat talāsh-e-mehrbāñ kyuuñ ho
sharīk-e-lazzat-e-āzād koī ham-zabāñ kyuuñ ho
tumhīñ batlāo ma.anī-ḳhez merī dāstāñ kyuuñ ho
vahī dil hai vahī ḳhvāhish vahī tum ho vahī maiñ huuñ
mirī duniyā meñ āḳhir inqilāb-e-āsmāñ kyuuñ ho
vo mere ba.ad rote haiñ ab un se koī kyā pūchhe
ki pahle kis liye nārāz the ab mehrbāñ kyuuñ ho
bagūloñ meñ uḌe jab ḳhaak mere āshiyāne kī
qafas kī samt hī yārab havā-e-gulsitāñ kyuuñ ho
tumheñ fariyād-ras kahte haiñ maiñ fariyād kartā huuñ
tumheñ āḳhir batāo phir ye koshish rā.egāñ kyuuñ ho
satānā hī agar manzūr hai kah do satāte haiñ
mirī taqdīr ke parde meñ merā imtihāñ kyuuñ ho
hameñ ma.alūm hai 'tālib' haqīqat rāz-e-hastī kī
magar is be-haqīqat kī haqīqat hī ayaañ kyuuñ ho
meri taqdir shikwa-sanj daur-e-asman kyun ho
mile jab dard mein lazzat talash-e-mehrban kyun ho
sharik-e-lazzat-e-azad koi ham-zaban kyun ho
tumhin batlao mani-KHez meri dastan kyun ho
wahi dil hai wahi KHwahish wahi tum ho wahi main hun
meri duniya mein aaKHir inqilab-e-asman kyun ho
wo mere baad rote hain ab un se koi kya puchhe
ki pahle kis liye naraaz the ab mehrban kyun ho
bagulon mein uDe jab KHak mere aashiyane ki
qafas ki samt hi yarab hawa-e-gulsitan kyun ho
tumhein fariyaad-ras kahte hain main fariyaad karta hun
tumhein aaKHir batao phir ye koshish raegan kyun ho
satana hi agar manzur hai kah do satate hain
meri taqdir ke parde mein mera imtihan kyun ho
hamein malum hai 'talib' haqiqat raaz-e-hasti ki
magar is be-haqiqat ki haqiqat hi ayan kyun ho
