hum kahan aur dil-e-KHarab kahan
ham kahāñ aur dil-e-ḳharāb kahāñ
ai shab-e-ġham tirā javāb kahāñ
zindagī ke shu.ūr se baḌh kar
zindagī meñ koī azaab kahāñ
koī chehra ho ġhaur se paḌhiye
is se jāme.a koī kitāb kahāñ
dard-o-ġham kī udaas āñkhoñ meñ
aarzū ke hasīn ḳhvāb kahāñ
aao apnī sahar se pūchh to leñ
chhoḌ aa.ī hai āftāb kahāñ
ruuh jab ho ga.ī hai ḳhud ghāyal
dil ke zaḳhmoñ kā phir hisāb kahāñ
dil dhaḌakte haiñ ab magar dil meñ
vo mahakte hue gulāb kahāñ
kyā pata vaqt ke añdheroñ meñ
chhap ga.e fan ke māhtāb kahāñ
vaqt Thahrā huā sā lagtā hai
ruk gayā aa ke inqalāb kahāñ
ai 'ra.īs' aarzū ke chehre par
ab vo aglī sī āb-o-tāb kahāñ
hum kahan aur dil-e-KHarab kahan
ai shab-e-gham tera jawab kahan
zindagi ke shuur se baDh kar
zindagi mein koi azab kahan
koi chehra ho ghaur se paDhiye
is se jamea koi kitab kahan
dard-o-gham ki udas aankhon mein
aarzu ke hasin KHwab kahan
aao apni sahar se puchh to len
chhoD aai hai aaftab kahan
ruh jab ho gai hai KHud ghayal
dil ke zaKHmon ka phir hisab kahan
dil dhaDakte hain ab magar dil mein
wo mahakte hue gulab kahan
kya pata waqt ke andheron mein
chhap gae fan ke mahtab kahan
waqt Thahra hua sa lagta hai
ruk gaya aa ke inqalab kahan
ai 'rais' aarzu ke chehre par
ab wo agli si aab-o-tab kahan
