na manzil hai na manzil ka nishan hai
na manzil hai na manzil kā nishāñ hai
hamārā kārvāñ phir bhī ravāñ hai
usī Daalī pe apnā āshiyāñ hai
taḌaptī jis jagah barq-e-tapāñ hai
huī haiñ kārgar ġhairoñ kī chāleñ
tire lab par nahīñ hai ab na haañ hai
rahe sayyād har dam jis chaman meñ
vahāñ ġham kī hikāyat jāvedāñ hai
surūr-o-naġhma haiñ ab kal kī bāteñ
yahāñ to ab faqat āh-o-fuġhāñ hai
unheñ kyuuñ rañj ho jaur-o-sitam par
sitamrānī to ḳhū-e-mahveshāñ hai
nahīñ insāñ kī qīmat koī 'rif.at'
purāne daur kī baat ab kahāñ hai
na manzil hai na manzil ka nishan hai
hamara karwan phir bhi rawan hai
usi Dali pe apna aashiyan hai
taDapti jis jagah barq-e-tapan hai
hui hain kargar ghairon ki chaalen
tere lab par nahin hai ab na han hai
rahe sayyaad har dam jis chaman mein
wahan gham ki hikayat jawedan hai
surur-o-naghma hain ab kal ki baaten
yahan to ab faqat aah-o-fughan hai
unhen kyun ranj ho jaur-o-sitam par
sitamrani to KHu-e-mahweshan hai
nahin insan ki qimat koi 'rifat'
purane daur ki baat ab kahan hai
