na hi zindagani kamal hai na hi maut mera zawal hai
na hī zindagānī kamāl hai na hī maut merā zavāl hai
ki javāb jis kā na mil sakā mire zehn meñ vo savāl hai
jise ham samajhte haiñ marg hai vo to ik taġhayyur-e-hāl hai
jiye jis ke hijr meñ umr-bhar vo hī ek lamha visāl hai
faqat ik sarāb hai zindagī ki hasīñ sā ḳhvāb hai zindagī
mire ḳhvāb āñkhoñ se chhin ga.e to ye zindagī bhī muhāl hai
hai azal se yuuñ hī tū juuñ kā tuuñ mujhe rafta rafta guzār kar
ye hī silsila shab-o-roz kā ye jo gardish-e-mah-o-sāl hai
jo ho band aañkh to kyā ḳhabar hameñ saaf aane lage nazar
jise ham samajhte haiñ zindagī faqat ek ḳhvāb-o-ḳhayāl hai
na hi zindagani kamal hai na hi maut mera zawal hai
ki jawab jis ka na mil saka mere zehn mein wo sawal hai
jise hum samajhte hain marg hai wo to ek taghayyur-e-haal hai
jiye jis ke hijr mein umr-bhar wo hi ek lamha visal hai
faqat ek sarab hai zindagi ki hasin sa KHwab hai zindagi
mere KHwab aankhon se chhin gae to ye zindagi bhi muhaal hai
hai azal se yun hi tu jun ka tun mujhe rafta rafta guzar kar
ye hi silsila shab-o-roz ka ye jo gardish-e-mah-o-sal hai
jo ho band aankh to kya KHabar hamein saf aane lage nazar
jise hum samajhte hain zindagi faqat ek KHwab-o-KHayal hai
