halak-e-kashmakash-e-raegan bahut se hain

halāk-e-kashmakash-e-rā.egāñ bahut se haiñ

ki zindagī hai to kār-e-ziyāñ bahut se haiñ

maiñ is havā meñ bahut der raushnī dūñgā

abhī diye sar-e-mehrāb-e-jāñ bahut se haiñ

use bhī apne sañvarne kā kab ḳhayāl aayā

jab ahl-e-ishq ko kār-e-jahāñ bahut se haiñ

is ek baat pe hairāñ hai vaqt kā munsif

ki is meñ kaun sā sach hai bayāñ bahut se haiñ

ajab ye ḳhitta-e-zinda-dilāñ huā ābād

ki ghar kahīñ bhī nahīñ aur makāñ bahut se haiñ

halak-e-kashmakash-e-raegan bahut se hain

ki zindagi hai to kar-e-ziyan bahut se hain

main is hawa mein bahut der raushni dunga

abhi diye sar-e-mehrab-e-jaan bahut se hain

use bhi apne sanwarne ka kab KHayal aaya

jab ahl-e-ishq ko kar-e-jahan bahut se hain

is ek baat pe hairan hai waqt ka munsif

ki is mein kaun sa sach hai bayan bahut se hain

ajab ye KHitta-e-zinda-dilan hua aabaad

ki ghar kahin bhi nahin aur makan bahut se hain
