baat jitni tawil hoti hai

baat jitnī tavīl hotī hai

vo barā.e-dalīl hotī hai

kaun samjhā hai un ishāroñ ko

jin se nafrat qatīl hotī hai

rab kā tohfa hai fahm-e-insānī

ziist kī vo fasīl hotī hai

hai vo ḳhush-hāl insāñ duniyā meñ

jis kī aadat jamīl hotī hai

e'timād-o-yaqīn rab par ho

zindagī ḳhud-kafīl hotī hai

sirf bāham yaqīñ na hone par

dahr behad zalīl hotī hai

log zar par nisār haiñ jis meñ

dār-e-fānī daḳhīl hotī hai

dām-e-sayyād se nikalne kī

mehr-e-rab hī sabīl hotī hai

ek ehsās hī kī daulat se

'faiz' duniyā ḳhalīl hotī hai

baat jitni tawil hoti hai

wo barae-dalil hoti hai

kaun samjha hai un ishaaron ko

jin se nafrat qatil hoti hai

rab ka tohfa hai fahm-e-insani

zist ki wo fasil hoti hai

hai wo KHush-haal insan duniya mein

jis ki aadat jamil hoti hai

e'timad-o-yaqin rab par ho

zindagi KHud-kafil hoti hai

sirf baham yaqin na hone par

dahr behad zalil hoti hai

log zar par nisar hain jis mein

dar-e-fani daKHil hoti hai

dam-e-sayyaad se nikalne ki

mehr-e-rab hi sabil hoti hai

ek ehsas hi ki daulat se

'faiz' duniya KHalil hoti hai
