zindagi ek KHwab hai ye KHwab ki tabir hai
zindagī ik ḳhvāb hai ye ḳhvāb kī tābīr hai
halqa-e-gesu-e-duniyā paañv kī zanjīr hai
kuchh nahīñ is ke sivā mere tasarruf meñ yahāñ
dil kā bas jitnā ilāqa dard kī jāgīr hai
putliyāñ āñkhoñ kī sākit ho ga.iiñ paḌhte hue
āsmāñ par kis zabāñ meñ jaane kyā tahrīr hai
mujh ko goyā.ī pe uksāyā thā dil ne ek baar
aaj tak hoñToñ pe qaa.em lazzat-e-taqrīr hai
ab na jaane kis taraf le jaa.eñ vahshī āñdhiyāñ
shāḳh se TuuTā huā pattā bahut dil-gīr hai
sab bahādur haiñ yahāñ zikr-e-ajal hone talak
buz-dilī is ko kahūñ yā ḳhuun kī tāsīr hai
zindagi ek KHwab hai ye KHwab ki tabir hai
halqa-e-gesu-e-duniya panw ki zanjir hai
kuchh nahin is ke siwa mere tasarruf mein yahan
dil ka bas jitna ilaqa dard ki jagir hai
putliyan aankhon ki sakit ho gain paDhte hue
aasman par kis zaban mein jaane kya tahrir hai
mujh ko goyai pe uksaya tha dil ne ek bar
aaj tak honTon pe qaem lazzat-e-taqrir hai
ab na jaane kis taraf le jaen wahshi aandhiyan
shaKH se TuTa hua patta bahut dil-gir hai
sab bahadur hain yahan zikr-e-ajal hone talak
buz-dili is ko kahun ya KHun ki tasir hai
