gham-zada hain mubtala-e-dard hain nashad hain
ġham-zada haiñ mubtalā-e-dard haiñ nāshād haiñ
ham kisī afsāna-e-ġhamnāk ke afrād haiñ
gardish-e-aflāk ke hāthoñ bahut barbād haiñ
ham lab-e-ayyām par ik dukh bharī fariyād haiñ
hāfize par ishratoñ ke naqsh baaqī haiñ abhī
tū ne jo sadme sahe ai dil tujhe bhī yaad haiñ
raat bhar kahte haiñ taare dil se rūdād-e-shabāb
in ko merī vo shabāb-afroz rāteñ yaad haiñ
aḳhtar'-e-nā-shād kī parchhā.īñ se bachte raheñ
jo zamāne meñ shagufta-ḳhātir o dil-e-shād haiñ
gham-zada hain mubtala-e-dard hain nashad hain
hum kisi afsana-e-ghamnak ke afrad hain
gardish-e-aflak ke hathon bahut barbaad hain
hum lab-e-ayyam par ek dukh bhari fariyaad hain
hafize par ishraton ke naqsh baqi hain abhi
tu ne jo sadme sahe ai dil tujhe bhi yaad hain
raat bhar kahte hain tare dil se rudad-e-shabab
in ko meri wo shabab-afroz raaten yaad hain
aKHtar'-e-na-shad ki parchhain se bachte rahen
jo zamane mein shagufta-KHatir o dil-e-shad hain
