aaj-kal ke shabab dekhe hain
āj-kal ke shabāb dekhe haiñ
saare ḳhāna-ḳharāb dekhe haiñ
phuul jaise husain chehre bhī
haa.e sahte azaab dekhe haiñ
ishq kī raah meñ vo luTte hue
ham ne lākhoñ janāb dekhe haiñ
hai ye ulfat bhī kyā balā sāhab
is meñ jhukte navāb dekhe haiñ
ek ik pal ko yaad rakhte the
vo tumhāre hisāb dekhe haiñ
tum haTā do ye apne chehre se
ham ne kaafī naqāb dekhe haiñ
pahle mohsin the phir bane zālim
log aise itaab dekhe haiñ
jis pe mahtāb tum rahe marte
ab vo hote sarāb dekhe haiñ
aaj-kal ke shabab dekhe hain
sare KHana-KHarab dekhe hain
phul jaise husain chehre bhi
hae sahte azab dekhe hain
ishq ki rah mein wo luTte hue
hum ne lakhon janab dekhe hain
hai ye ulfat bhi kya bala sahab
is mein jhukte nawab dekhe hain
ek ek pal ko yaad rakhte the
wo tumhaare hisab dekhe hain
tum haTa do ye apne chehre se
hum ne kafi naqab dekhe hain
pahle mohsin the phir bane zalim
log aise itab dekhe hain
jis pe mahtab tum rahe marte
ab wo hote sarab dekhe hain
