bahr-e-hasti koi sarab nahin
bahr-e-hastī koī sarāb nahīñ
zindagī zindagī hai ḳhvāb nahīñ
aah insān jis kī āñkhoñ par
apnā anjām be-naqāb nahīñ
ek ḳhurshīd-ruḳh kī zulfoñ kā
raat ke paas kuchh javāb nahīñ
zindagī dard se huī mahrūm
mai-kadā hai magar sharāb nahīñ
mutrib-e-vaqt tere hāthoñ meñ
kyoñ hai talvār aur rabāb nahīñ
aadmī aadmī kā rāziq hai
nazm-e-ālam magar ḳharāb nahīñ
haa.e 'altāf' vo hazīñ rāteñ
jin kī qismat meñ māhtāb nahīñ
bahr-e-hasti koi sarab nahin
zindagi zindagi hai KHwab nahin
aah insan jis ki aankhon par
apna anjam be-naqab nahin
ek KHurshid-ruKH ki zulfon ka
raat ke pas kuchh jawab nahin
zindagi dard se hui mahrum
mai-kada hai magar sharab nahin
mutrib-e-waqt tere hathon mein
kyon hai talwar aur rabab nahin
aadmi aadmi ka raaziq hai
nazm-e-alam magar KHarab nahin
hae 'altaf' wo hazin raaten
jin ki qismat mein mahtab nahin
