umr guzregi imtihan mein kya

umr guzregī imtihān meñ kyā

daaġh hī deñge mujh ko daan meñ kyā

merī har baat be-asar hī rahī

nuqs hai kuchh mire bayān meñ kyā

mujh ko to koī Toktā bhī nahīñ

yahī hotā hai ḳhāndān meñ kyā

apnī mahrūmiyāñ chhupāte haiñ

ham ġharīboñ kī ān-bān meñ kyā

ḳhud ko jaanā judā zamāne se

aa gayā thā mire gumān meñ kyā

shaam hī se dukān-e-dīd hai band

nahīñ nuqsān tak dukān meñ kyā

ai mire sub.h-o-shām-e-dil kī shafaq

tū nahātī hai ab bhī baan meñ kyā

bolte kyuuñ nahīñ mire haq meñ

aable paḌ ga.e zabān meñ kyā

ḳhāmushī kah rahī hai kaan meñ kyā

aa rahā hai mire gumān meñ kyā

dil ki aate haiñ jis ko dhyān bahut

ḳhud bhī aatā hai apne dhyān meñ kyā

vo mile to ye pūchhnā hai mujhe

ab bhī huuñ maiñ tirī amaan meñ kyā

yuuñ jo taktā hai āsmān ko tū

koī rahtā hai āsmān meñ kyā

hai nasīm-e-bahār gard-ālūd

ḳhaak uḌtī hai us makān meñ kyā

ye mujhe chain kyuuñ nahīñ paḌtā

ek hī shaḳhs thā jahān meñ kyā

umr guzregi imtihan mein kya

dagh hi denge mujh ko dan mein kya

meri har baat be-asar hi rahi

nuqs hai kuchh mere bayan mein kya

mujh ko to koi Tokta bhi nahin

yahi hota hai KHandan mein kya

apni mahrumiyan chhupate hain

hum gharibon ki aan-ban mein kya

KHud ko jaana juda zamane se

aa gaya tha mere guman mein kya

sham hi se dukan-e-did hai band

nahin nuqsan tak dukan mein kya

ai mere subh-o-sham-e-dil ki shafaq

tu nahati hai ab bhi ban mein kya

bolte kyun nahin mere haq mein

aable paD gae zaban mein kya

KHamushi kah rahi hai kan mein kya

aa raha hai mere guman mein kya

dil ki aate hain jis ko dhyan bahut

KHud bhi aata hai apne dhyan mein kya

wo mile to ye puchhna hai mujhe

ab bhi hun main teri aman mein kya

yun jo takta hai aasman ko tu

koi rahta hai aasman mein kya

hai nasim-e-bahaar gard-alud

KHak uDti hai us makan mein kya

ye mujhe chain kyun nahin paDta

ek hi shaKHs tha jahan mein kya
