kis liye gardish-e-haalat ka rona hai miyan

kis liye gardish-e-hālāt kā ronā hai miyāñ

vo to ho kar hī rahegā ki jo honā hai miyāñ

faisla kar na sakī aql ki is duniyā meñ

aadmī ḳhud koī quvvat ki khilaunā hai miyāñ

maiñ kisī chiiz ko pā kar bhī kabhī ḳhush na huā

jāntā huuñ ki har ik chiiz ko khonā hai miyāñ

is kā kyā zikr ki mahrūm-e-samar haiñ ham log

nasl-e-fardā ke liye biij to bonā hai miyāñ

hai to ik chiiz qalandar kī hathelī pe 'sharīf'

ab ḳhudā jaane vo miTTī hai ki sonā hai miyāñ

kis liye gardish-e-haalat ka rona hai miyan

wo to ho kar hi rahega ki jo hona hai miyan

faisla kar na saki aql ki is duniya mein

aadmi KHud koi quwwat ki khilauna hai miyan

main kisi chiz ko pa kar bhi kabhi KHush na hua

jaanta hun ki har ek chiz ko khona hai miyan

is ka kya zikr ki mahrum-e-samar hain hum log

nasl-e-farda ke liye bij to bona hai miyan

hai to ek chiz qalandar ki hatheli pe 'sharif'

ab KHuda jaane wo miTTi hai ki sona hai miyan
