hum ek KHwab liye mah o sal se guzre
ham ek ḳhvāb liye maah o saal se guzre
hazāroñ rañj hazāroñ malāl se guzre
hameñ milā jo koī āsmāñ to sūrat-e-māh
na jaane kitne uruuj o zavāl se guzre
kabhī ġharīboñ kī aahoñ meñ kī basar ham ne
kabhī amīroñ ke jāh-o-jalāl se guzre
vo be-sahārā se kuchh log jaan se bezār
ḳhabar milī hai ki auj-e-kamāl se guzre
ye zindagī bhī ajab raah thī ki ham jis se
qadam baḌhāte jhijakte niDhāl se guzre
haqīqateñ to nigāhoñ ke sāmne thiiñ magar
ham ek umr fareb-e-ḳhayāl se guzre
hikāyat-e-gul-o-bulbul pe ḳhanda-zan haiñ vahī
jo shām-e-hijr na sub.h-e-visāl se guzre
gale lagātī hai manzil unheñ bhī ai 'jazbī'
qadam qadam pe jo ḳhauf-e-ma.āl se guzre
hum ek KHwab liye mah o sal se guzre
hazaron ranj hazaron malal se guzre
hamein mila jo koi aasman to surat-e-mah
na jaane kitne uruj o zawal se guzre
kabhi gharibon ki aahon mein ki basar hum ne
kabhi amiron ke jah-o-jalal se guzre
wo be-sahaara se kuchh log jaan se bezar
KHabar mili hai ki auj-e-kamal se guzre
ye zindagi bhi ajab rah thi ki hum jis se
qadam baDhate jhijakte niDhaal se guzre
haqiqaten to nigahon ke samne thin magar
hum ek umr fareb-e-KHayal se guzre
hikayat-e-gul-o-bulbul pe KHanda-zan hain wahi
jo sham-e-hijr na subh-e-visal se guzre
gale lagati hai manzil unhen bhi ai 'jazbi'
qadam qadam pe jo KHauf-e-maal se guzre
