ek fana ke ghaT utra ek pagal ho gaya

ik fanā ke ghaaT utrā ek pāgal ho gayā

ya.anī mansūba zamāne kā mukammal ho gayā

jism ke barfāb meñ āñkheñ chamaktī haiñ abhī

kaun kahtā hai ki us kā hausla shal ho gayā

zehn par be-samtiyoñ kī bārisheñ itnī huiiñ

ye ilāqa to ghane rastoñ kā jañgal ho gayā

is kalīd-e-ism-e-nā-ma.alūm se kaise khule

dil kā darvāza ki andar se muqaffal ho gayā

sho.ala-zār-e-gul se guzre to sar-e-āġhāz hī

ik sharar āñkhoñ se utrā ḳhuun meñ hal ho gayā

shahr-e-ā.inda kā dariyā hai giraft-e-reg meñ

bas ki jo honā hai us kā faisla kal ho gayā

mausam-e-tāḳhīr-e-gul aatā hai kis ke naam par

kaun hai jis kā lahū is ḳhaak meñ hal ho gayā

is qadar ḳhvāboñ ko maslā pā-e-āhan-posh ne

shauq kā aa.iin bil-āḳhir mo.attal ho gayā

ek fana ke ghaT utra ek pagal ho gaya

yani mansuba zamane ka mukammal ho gaya

jism ke barfab mein aankhen chamakti hain abhi

kaun kahta hai ki us ka hausla shal ho gaya

zehn par be-samtiyon ki barishen itni huin

ye ilaqa to ghane raston ka jangal ho gaya

is kalid-e-ism-e-na-malum se kaise khule

dil ka darwaza ki andar se muqaffal ho gaya

shoala-zar-e-gul se guzre to sar-e-aghaz hi

ek sharar aankhon se utra KHun mein hal ho gaya

shahr-e-ainda ka dariya hai giraft-e-reg mein

bas ki jo hona hai us ka faisla kal ho gaya

mausam-e-taKHir-e-gul aata hai kis ke nam par

kaun hai jis ka lahu is KHak mein hal ho gaya

is qadar KHwabon ko masla pa-e-ahan-posh ne

shauq ka aain bil-aKHir moattal ho gaya
