jo charagh sare bujha chuke unhen intizar kahan raha
jo charāġh saare bujhā chuke unheñ intizār kahāñ rahā
ye sukūñ kā daur-e-shadīd hai koī be-qarār kahāñ rahā
jo duā ko haath uThā.e bhī to murād yaad na aa sakī
kisī kārvāñ kā jo zikr thā vo pas-e-ġhubār kahāñ rahā
ye tulū-e-roz-e-malāl hai so gila bhī kis se kareñge ham
koī dilrubā koī dil-shikan koī dil-figār kahāñ rahā
koī baat ḳhvāb-o-ḳhayāl kī jo karo to vaqt kaTegā ab
hameñ mausamoñ ke mizāj par koī e'tibār kahāñ rahā
hameñ kū-ba-kū jo liye phirī kisī naqsh-e-pā kī talāsh thī
koī āftāb thā zau-fagan sar-e-rahguzār kahāñ rahā
magar ek dhun to lagī rahī na ye dil dukhā na gila huā
ki nigah ko rañg-e-bahār par koī iḳhtiyār kahāñ rahā
sar-e-dasht hī rahā tishna-lab jise zindagī kī talāsh thī
jise zindagī kī talāsh thī lab-e-jūebār kahāñ rahā
jo charagh sare bujha chuke unhen intizar kahan raha
ye sukun ka daur-e-shadid hai koi be-qarar kahan raha
jo dua ko hath uThae bhi to murad yaad na aa saki
kisi karwan ka jo zikr tha wo pas-e-ghubar kahan raha
ye tulu-e-roz-e-malal hai so gila bhi kis se karenge hum
koi dilruba koi dil-shikan koi dil-figar kahan raha
koi baat KHwab-o-KHayal ki jo karo to waqt kaTega ab
hamein mausamon ke mizaj par koi e'tibar kahan raha
hamein ku-ba-ku jo liye phiri kisi naqsh-e-pa ki talash thi
koi aaftab tha zau-fagan sar-e-rahguzar kahan raha
magar ek dhun to lagi rahi na ye dil dukha na gila hua
ki nigah ko rang-e-bahaar par koi iKHtiyar kahan raha
sar-e-dasht hi raha tishna-lab jise zindagi ki talash thi
jise zindagi ki talash thi lab-e-juebar kahan raha
