rahega aql ke sine pe ta-abad ye dagh
rahegā aql ke siine pe tā-abad ye daaġh
ki zindagī ne bhī paayā na zindagī kā surāġh
ajiib tarah guzārā hai daur-e-tīra-shabī
jalā jalā ke bujhā.e haiñ maiñ ne kitne charāġh
hai jiine vāloñ kī ḳhātir ye kaisī majbūrī
na zindagī kā farāġh aur na zindagī se farāġh
ye kuchh hamāre hī qalb-e-tapīda ko hai ḳhabar
faroġh-e-nūr se kyā kyā na jal bujhe haiñ charāġh
hai raushnī ke liye raushnī payām-e-ajal
sahar qarīb hai aur jhilmilā rahe haiñ charāġh
mujhe batā ki hai us mai meñ kaif-e-mai kitnā
maiñ jāntā huuñ ki ḳhālī nahīñ kisī kā ayāġh
kisī tarah sahī badle to rasm-e-pārīna
ugaa.e jaao bayābāñ ujāḌte chalo baaġh
dikhā rahā huuñ maiñ duniyā ko dil kā ā.īna
ba-īñ yaqīñ ki nahīñ māhtāb bhī be-dāġh
ye raat mahfil-e-ādam pe hai garāñ 'hurmat'
bhaḌak uThe haiñ ḳhud apnī hī raushnī se charāġh
rahega aql ke sine pe ta-abad ye dagh
ki zindagi ne bhi paya na zindagi ka suragh
ajib tarah guzara hai daur-e-tira-shabi
jala jala ke bujhae hain main ne kitne charagh
hai jine walon ki KHatir ye kaisi majburi
na zindagi ka faragh aur na zindagi se faragh
ye kuchh hamare hi qalb-e-tapida ko hai KHabar
farogh-e-nur se kya kya na jal bujhe hain charagh
hai raushni ke liye raushni payam-e-ajal
sahar qarib hai aur jhilmila rahe hain charagh
mujhe bata ki hai us mai mein kaif-e-mai kitna
main jaanta hun ki KHali nahin kisi ka ayagh
kisi tarah sahi badle to rasm-e-parina
ugae jao bayaban ujaDte chalo bagh
dikha raha hun main duniya ko dil ka aaina
ba-in yaqin ki nahin mahtab bhi be-dagh
ye raat mahfil-e-adam pe hai garan 'hurmat'
bhaDak uThe hain KHud apni hi raushni se charagh
