sar-e-īzā-rasānī chal rahī hai

tabī.at meñ girānī chal rahī hai

isī dil ke hazāroñ vasvasoñ meñ

vahī dhaḌkan purānī chal rahī hai

chalā jaatā hai har ik chal-chalāv

jo shai hai ānī-jānī chal rahī hai

maiñ barg-e-ḳhushk huuñ hamrāh mere

huā kī bad-gumānī chal rahī hai

badan meñ saañs kī sūrat yaqīnan

koī naql-e-makānī chal rahī hai

bahut hī muḳhtasar sī zindagī meñ

baḌī lambī kahānī chal rahī hai

abhī vo saath hai mere so mujh par

ḳhudā kī mehrbānī chal rahī hai

sabhī kirdār thak kar so ga.e haiñ

magar ab tak kahānī chal rahī hai

ḳhayāl aatā thā us kā jis ravish par

ab us par be-ḳhayālī chal rahī hai

sar-e-iza-rasani chal rahi hai

tabiat mein girani chal rahi hai

isi dil ke hazaron waswason mein

wahi dhaDkan purani chal rahi hai

chala jata hai har ek chal-chalaw

jo shai hai aani-jaani chal rahi hai

main barg-e-KHushk hun hamrah mere

hua ki bad-gumani chal rahi hai

badan mein sans ki surat yaqinan

koi naql-e-makani chal rahi hai

bahut hi muKHtasar si zindagi mein

baDi lambi kahani chal rahi hai

abhi wo sath hai mere so mujh par

KHuda ki mehrbani chal rahi hai

sabhi kirdar thak kar so gae hain

magar ab tak kahani chal rahi hai

KHayal aata tha us ka jis rawish par

ab us par be-KHayali chal rahi hai
