josh hai aur na wo kahani hai
josh hai aur na vo kahānī hai
kitnī māyūs-kun javānī hai
ek qaul-o-qarār hai ḳhud se
zindagī varna be-ma'ānī hai
ham buzurgoñ se sunte aa.e haiñ
maut ke baa'd zindagānī hai
sirf zāhir nahīñ hukūmat kā
us kā bātin bhī zā'frānī hai
ḳhush-kalāmī kā daur jaatā rahā
bad-zabānī hī bad-zabānī hai
qalb pe haath rakh ke kahiye zarā
kyā yahāñ koī ḳhāndānī hai
josh hai aur na wo kahani hai
kitni mayus-kun jawani hai
ek qaul-o-qarar hai KHud se
zindagi warna be-ma'ani hai
hum buzurgon se sunte aae hain
maut ke ba'd zindagani hai
sirf zahir nahin hukumat ka
us ka baatin bhi za'frani hai
KHush-kalami ka daur jata raha
bad-zabani hi bad-zabani hai
qalb pe hath rakh ke kahiye zara
kya yahan koi KHandani hai
