be-KHudi pe tha fani kuchh na iKHtiyar apna
be-ḳhudī pe thā 'fānī' kuchh na iḳhtiyār apnā
umr bhar kiyā nāhaq ham ne intizār apnā
tāb-e-zabt-e-ġham ne bhī de diyā javāb āḳhir
un ke dil se uThtā hai aaj e'tibār apnā
ishq zindagī Thahrā lekin ab ye mushkil hai
zindagī se hotā hai ahd ustuvār apnā
shikva barmalā karte ḳhair ye to kyā karte
haañ magar jo ban paḌtā shikva ek baar apnā
ġham hī jī kā dushman thā ġham se duur rahte the
ġham hī rah gayā āḳhir ek ġham-gusār apnā
le gayā chaman ko bhī mausam-e-bahār aa kar
ab qafas kā gosha hai hāsil-e-bahār apnā
jhuuT hī sahī vaada kyuuñ yaqīñ na kar lete
baat dil-fareb un kī dil umīd-vār apnā
inqilāb-e-ālam meñ varna der hī kyā thī
un ke āstāñ tak thā ḳhair se ġhubār apnā
dil hai muztarib 'fānī' aañkh mahv-e-hairat hai
dil ne de diyā shāyad aañkh ko qarār apnā
be-KHudi pe tha 'fani' kuchh na iKHtiyar apna
umr bhar kiya nahaq hum ne intizar apna
tab-e-zabt-e-gham ne bhi de diya jawab aaKHir
un ke dil se uThta hai aaj e'tibar apna
ishq zindagi Thahra lekin ab ye mushkil hai
zindagi se hota hai ahd ustuwar apna
shikwa barmala karte KHair ye to kya karte
han magar jo ban paDta shikwa ek bar apna
gham hi ji ka dushman tha gham se dur rahte the
gham hi rah gaya aaKHir ek gham-gusar apna
le gaya chaman ko bhi mausam-e-bahaar aa kar
ab qafas ka gosha hai hasil-e-bahaar apna
jhuT hi sahi wada kyun yaqin na kar lete
baat dil-fareb un ki dil umid-war apna
inqilab-e-alam mein warna der hi kya thi
un ke aastan tak tha KHair se ghubar apna
dil hai muztarib 'fani' aankh mahw-e-hairat hai
dil ne de diya shayad aankh ko qarar apna
