ek daman mein phul bhare hain ek daman mein aag hi aag

ik dāman meñ phuul bhare haiñ ik dāman meñ aag hī aag

ye hai apnī apnī qismat ye haiñ apne apne bhaag

raah kaThin hai duur hai manzil vaqt bachā hai thoḌā sā

ab to sūraj aa gayā sar par sone vaale ab to jaag

piirī meñ to ye sab bāteñ zāhid achchhī lagtī haiñ

zikr-e-ibādat bharī javānī meñ jaise be-vaqt kā raag

auroñ par ilzām-tarāshī fitrat hai ham logoñ kī

sach pūchho to paal rakhe haiñ ham ne ḳhud zahrīle naag

yahīñ paḌe rah jā.eñge sab maal ḳhazāne dhan-daulat

maut paḌī hai tere pīchhe bhaag sake tū jitnā bhaag

hirs-o-havā kī is duniyā se bach ke raho to achchhā hai

behtar hai shīrāz kī dāvat se bas rūkhī roTī saag

ek daman mein phul bhare hain ek daman mein aag hi aag

ye hai apni apni qismat ye hain apne apne bhag

rah kaThin hai dur hai manzil waqt bacha hai thoDa sa

ab to suraj aa gaya sar par sone wale ab to jag

piri mein to ye sab baaten zahid achchhi lagti hain

zikr-e-ibaadat bhari jawani mein jaise be-waqt ka rag

auron par ilzam-tarashi fitrat hai hum logon ki

sach puchho to pal rakhe hain hum ne KHud zahrile nag

yahin paDe rah jaenge sab mal KHazane dhan-daulat

maut paDi hai tere pichhe bhag sake tu jitna bhag

hirs-o-hawa ki is duniya se bach ke raho to achchha hai

behtar hai shiraaz ki dawat se bas rukhi roTi sag
