mujhe utni hi qadr-e-zindagani hoti jati hai

mujhe utnī hī qadr-e-zindagānī hotī jaatī hai

kisī kī jitnī mujh par mehrbānī hotī jaatī hai

ḳhudā ma.alūm ye kaisā zamāna aatā jaatā hai

ki har har saañs ab to imtihānī hotī jaatī hai

mohabbat karne vaalā sū-e-manzil baḌhtā jaatā hai

jo mushkil aatī jaatī hai vo paanī hotī jaatī hai

jidhar jaao musībat hai jidhar dekho musībat hai

musībat ab to juzv-e-zindagānī hotī jaatī hai

ḳhudā kā shukr dil rāh-e-vafā meñ miTtā jaatā hai

jo faanī chiiz hai vo jāvedānī hotī jaatī hai

ham apnā daur-e-māzī bhūlte jaate haiñ ai 'shārib'

qayāmat hai haqīqat bhī kahānī hotī jaatī hai

mujhe utni hi qadr-e-zindagani hoti jati hai

kisi ki jitni mujh par mehrbani hoti jati hai

KHuda malum ye kaisa zamana aata jata hai

ki har har sans ab to imtihani hoti jati hai

mohabbat karne wala su-e-manzil baDhta jata hai

jo mushkil aati jati hai wo pani hoti jati hai

jidhar jao musibat hai jidhar dekho musibat hai

musibat ab to juzw-e-zindagani hoti jati hai

KHuda ka shukr dil rah-e-wafa mein miTta jata hai

jo fani chiz hai wo jawedani hoti jati hai

hum apna daur-e-mazi bhulte jate hain ai 'shaarib'

qayamat hai haqiqat bhi kahani hoti jati hai
