KHarab-haal hun har haal mein KHarab raha
ḳharāb-hāl huuñ har haal meñ ḳharāb rahā
ḳhushī meñ bhī ġham-e-dil kā sā iztirāb rahā
nazāra-e-ruḳh-e-zebā kī yaañ kise fursat
naqāb ruḳh pe rahī yā vo be-naqāb rahā
tarab kī bazm meñ jā kar karegā kyā koī
na vo piyāla na vo mai na vo shabāb rahā
navā-e-shauq nikaltī hai ab bhī dil se magar
na vo upaj na vo mahfil na vo rabāb rahā
har ek chiiz kī duniyā meñ had muqarrar hai
magar ye rañj zamāna kā be-hisāb rahā
ḳhayāl-o-ḳhvāb masarrat kī ik tavaqqo.a par
tamām-umr mujhe intizār-e-ḳhvāb rahā
KHarab-haal hun har haal mein KHarab raha
KHushi mein bhi gham-e-dil ka sa iztirab raha
nazara-e-ruKH-e-zeba ki yan kise fursat
naqab ruKH pe rahi ya wo be-naqab raha
tarab ki bazm mein ja kar karega kya koi
na wo piyala na wo mai na wo shabab raha
nawa-e-shauq nikalti hai ab bhi dil se magar
na wo upaj na wo mahfil na wo rabab raha
har ek chiz ki duniya mein had muqarrar hai
magar ye ranj zamana ka be-hisab raha
KHayal-o-KHwab masarrat ki ek tawaqqoa par
tamam-umr mujhe intizar-e-KHwab raha
