pate rahe ye faiz teri be-ruKHi se hum
paate rahe ye faiz tirī be-ruḳhī se ham
goyā ki duur hote rahe zindagī se ham
ġham dā.imī hai aur ḳhushī aarzī sī chiiz
is vāste qarīb nahīñ haiñ ḳhushī se ham
mahsūs tum se mil ke huā ham ko pahlī baar
haiñ ham-kanār aaj mujassam ḳhushī se ham
ik daur thā likhā thā mire dil pe terā naam
haiñ aaj terī bazm meñ ik ajnabī se ham
jalne se āshiyāñ ke charāġhāñ sā ho gayā
mahrūm ho chuke the na.ī raushnī se ham
hai zindagī kī shaam nahīñ ham-navā koī
har samt dekhte haiñ ajab bekasī se ham
taḳhrīb-e-kā.enāt hai insān-dushmanī
'sartāj' kah rahe haiñ ye har aadmī se ham
pate rahe ye faiz teri be-ruKHi se hum
goya ki dur hote rahe zindagi se hum
gham daimi hai aur KHushi aarzi si chiz
is waste qarib nahin hain KHushi se hum
mahsus tum se mil ke hua hum ko pahli bar
hain ham-kanar aaj mujassam KHushi se hum
ek daur tha likha tha mere dil pe tera nam
hain aaj teri bazm mein ek ajnabi se hum
jalne se aashiyan ke charaghan sa ho gaya
mahrum ho chuke the nai raushni se hum
hai zindagi ki sham nahin ham-nawa koi
har samt dekhte hain ajab bekasi se hum
taKHrib-e-kaenat hai insan-dushmani
'sartaj' kah rahe hain ye har aadmi se hum
