muzmahil hone pe bhi KHud ko jawan rakhte hain hum
muzmahil hone pe bhī ḳhud ko javāñ rakhte haiñ ham
ek sar hai jis pe sātoñ āsmāñ rakhte haiñ ham
ham garebāñ-chāk logoñ ko tahī-dāman na jaan
le qimār-e-āshiqī meñ naqd-e-jāñ rakhte haiñ ham
koī to āḳhir chalā aa.egā pursish ke liye
tū na aa.egā to marg-e-nā-gahāñ rakhte haiñ ham
ehtirām-e-ġham se haiñ sūkhe jazīroñ kī tarah
varna in āñkhoñ meñ bahr-e-be-karāñ rakhte haiñ ham
ishq meñ zauq-e-takallum hai halākat-āfrīñ
aarzū bhī ehtiyātan be-zabāñ rakhte haiñ ham
mah-vashoñ ke ārizoñ meñ dekhte haiñ apnā aks
allāh allāh apnā saaya bhī kahāñ rakhte haiñ ham
laakh hoñ phailī huī manzil-ba-manzil zulmateñ
saath apne mash.al-e-husn-e-butāñ rakhte haiñ ham
muzmahil hone pe bhi KHud ko jawan rakhte hain hum
ek sar hai jis pe saton aasman rakhte hain hum
hum gareban-chaak logon ko tahi-daman na jaan
le qimar-e-ashiqi mein naqd-e-jaan rakhte hain hum
koi to aaKHir chala aaega pursish ke liye
tu na aaega to marg-e-na-gahan rakhte hain hum
ehtiram-e-gham se hain sukhe jaziron ki tarah
warna in aankhon mein bahr-e-be-karan rakhte hain hum
ishq mein zauq-e-takallum hai halakat-afrin
aarzu bhi ehtiyatan be-zaban rakhte hain hum
mah-washon ke aarizon mein dekhte hain apna aks
allah allah apna saya bhi kahan rakhte hain hum
lakh hon phaili hui manzil-ba-manzil zulmaten
sath apne mashal-e-husn-e-butan rakhte hain hum
