ab aa gaya hai jahan mein to muskuraata ja
ab aa gayā hai jahāñ meñ to muskurātā jā
chaman ke phuul diloñ ke kañval khilātā jā
adam hayāt se pahle adam hayāt ke ba.ad
ye ek pal hai use jāvedāñ banātā jā
bhaTak rahī hai añdhere meñ zindagī kī barāt
koī charāġh sar-e-rahguzar jalātā jā
guzar chaman se misāl-e-nasīm-e-sub.h-e-bahār
guloñ ko chheḌ ke kāñToñ ko gudgudātā jā
rah-e-darāz hai aur duur shauq kī manzil
garāñ hai marhala-e-umr giit gaatā jā
balā se bazm meñ gar zauq-e-naġhmagī kam hai
navā-e-talḳh ko kuchh talḳh-tar banātā jā
jo ho sake to badal zindagī ko ḳhud varna
nazhād-e-nau ko tarīq-e-junūñ sikhātā jā
dikhā ke jalva-e-fardā banā de dīvāna
na.e zamāne ke ruḳh se naqāb uThātā jā
bahut dinoñ se dil-o-jāñ kī mahfileñ haiñ udaas
koī tarāna koī dāstāñ sunātā jā
ab aa gaya hai jahan mein to muskuraata ja
chaman ke phul dilon ke kanwal khilata ja
adam hayat se pahle adam hayat ke baad
ye ek pal hai use jawedan banata ja
bhaTak rahi hai andhere mein zindagi ki baraat
koi charagh sar-e-rahguzar jalata ja
guzar chaman se misal-e-nasim-e-subh-e-bahaar
gulon ko chheD ke kanTon ko gudgudata ja
rah-e-daraaz hai aur dur shauq ki manzil
garan hai marhala-e-umr git gata ja
bala se bazm mein gar zauq-e-naghmagi kam hai
nawa-e-talKH ko kuchh talKH-tar banata ja
jo ho sake to badal zindagi ko KHud warna
nazhad-e-nau ko tariq-e-junun sikhata ja
dikha ke jalwa-e-farda bana de diwana
nae zamane ke ruKH se naqab uThata ja
bahut dinon se dil-o-jaan ki mahfilen hain udas
koi tarana koi dastan sunata ja
