jidhar se wadi-e-hairat mein hum guzarte hain

jidhar se vādī-e-hairat meñ ham guzarte haiñ

udhar to ahl-e-tamannā bhī kam guzarte haiñ

tire huzūr jo anfās-e-ġham guzarte haiñ

ajab hayāt ke aalam se ham guzarte haiñ

ravāñ hai barq kā sho.ala sahāb-e-rahmat meñ

naqāb Daal ke ahl-e-sitam guzarte haiñ

hayāt rok rahī hai koī qadam na baḌhā.e

ki aaj manzil-e-hastī se ham guzarte haiñ

lalak baḌhā ke faqat chand buuñd barsā ke

ravāñ-davāñ se sahāb-e-karam guzarte haiñ

ta.ajjub un ke liye marg-e-nā-gahānī kā

jo zindagī ke marāhil se kam guzarte haiñ

muḳhālifat hai khulī ab na dostī 'ahsan'

ghuTī ghuTī sī fazāoñ se ham guzarte haiñ

jidhar se wadi-e-hairat mein hum guzarte hain

udhar to ahl-e-tamanna bhi kam guzarte hain

tere huzur jo anfas-e-gham guzarte hain

ajab hayat ke aalam se hum guzarte hain

rawan hai barq ka shoala sahab-e-rahmat mein

naqab Dal ke ahl-e-sitam guzarte hain

hayat rok rahi hai koi qadam na baDhae

ki aaj manzil-e-hasti se hum guzarte hain

lalak baDha ke faqat chand bund barsa ke

rawan-dawan se sahab-e-karam guzarte hain

tajjub un ke liye marg-e-na-gahani ka

jo zindagi ke marahil se kam guzarte hain

muKHalifat hai khuli ab na dosti 'ahsan'

ghuTi ghuTi si fazaon se hum guzarte hain
