jo ye kahte the ki mar jaana hai

jo ye kahte the ki mar jaanā hai

un se jiine kā hunar jaanā hai

kis ne sochā thā ki ḳhud se mil kar

apnī āvāz se Dar jaanā hai

hadisā maut nahīñ insāñ kī

hādisa ḳhvāb kā mar jaanā hai

hazrat-e-dil ko manānā hogā

aaj phir us kī Dagar jaanā hai

kuchh havā, aag, zamīñ, aab, falak

phir mujhe lauT ke ghar jaanā hai

ek bālisht nahīñ jis kī chhāñv

tum ne us ko bhī shajar jaanā hai

saath rakh mujh ko baḌhā le qīmat

go mujhe tū ne sifar jaanā hai

aaj phir tum ko nahīñ DhūñDh sakā

dil ko sahrā meñ pasar jaanā hai

aap bhī suniye kahā hai dil ne

''aaj har had se guzar jaanā hai''

silsila toḌ rahe ho kyūñkar

silsila ḳhud hī bikhar jaanā hai

yaad kī ghaas to giilī hai bahut

ab dhuāñ dil pe pasar jaanā hai

dil ko sairāb kiyā ashkoñ se

ham ne rone kā hunar jaanā hai

apnā jo bhī thā vo sab chhūT gayā

ye magar vaqt-e-safar jaanā hai

jo ye kahte the ki mar jaana hai

un se jine ka hunar jaana hai

kis ne socha tha ki KHud se mil kar

apni aawaz se Dar jaana hai

hadisa maut nahin insan ki

hadisa KHwab ka mar jaana hai

hazrat-e-dil ko manana hoga

aaj phir us ki Dagar jaana hai

kuchh hawa, aag, zamin, aab, falak

phir mujhe lauT ke ghar jaana hai

ek baalisht nahin jis ki chhanw

tum ne us ko bhi shajar jaana hai

sath rakh mujh ko baDha le qimat

go mujhe tu ne sifar jaana hai

aaj phir tum ko nahin DhunDh saka

dil ko sahra mein pasar jaana hai

aap bhi suniye kaha hai dil ne

aaj har had se guzar jaana hai

silsila toD rahe ho kyunkar

silsila KHud hi bikhar jaana hai

yaad ki ghas to gili hai bahut

ab dhuan dil pe pasar jaana hai

dil ko sairab kiya ashkon se

hum ne rone ka hunar jaana hai

apna jo bhi tha wo sab chhuT gaya

ye magar waqt-e-safar jaana hai
