faqat qayam ka matlab guzar-basar koi hai
faqat qayām kā matlab guzar-basar koī hai
maiñ rah rahā huuñ jahāñ par, vo merā ghar koī hai
javān lau pe na jaa, nau-damīda zau pe na jā
charāġh-e-va.ada hai, jaltā ye umr bhar koī hai
vo paas baiTh bhī jaa.e to kyā kahūñ us se
jo dāstān sunānī hai, muḳhtasar koī hai
kahīñ se shauq-e-tamāshā meñ aa gayā hogā
jo dil ko dekhne aayā hai, chāra-gar koī hai
jo kaT rahī hai tirī chashm-e-be-nihāyat meñ
rah-e-hayāt hai sārī, rah-e-safar koī hai
faqat qayam ka matlab guzar-basar koi hai
main rah raha hun jahan par, wo mera ghar koi hai
jawan lau pe na ja, nau-damida zau pe na ja
charagh-e-wada hai, jalta ye umr bhar koi hai
wo pas baiTh bhi jae to kya kahun us se
jo dastan sunani hai, muKHtasar koi hai
kahin se shauq-e-tamasha mein aa gaya hoga
jo dil ko dekhne aaya hai, chaara-gar koi hai
jo kaT rahi hai teri chashm-e-be-nihayat mein
rah-e-hayat hai sari, rah-e-safar koi hai
