samne us but ke jab jaana paDa
sāmne us but ke jab jaanā paḌā
kufr par īmāñ mujhe laanā paḌā
bahar-e-darmāñ un ko jab aanā paḌā
dard-e-dil ko aur baḌh jaanā paḌā
phir bhī kab samjhā fareb-e-husn ko
dil ko lākhoñ baar samjhānā paḌā
jiite jī dīdār-e-jānāñ thā muhāl
zindagī meñ mujh ko mar jaanā paḌā
kū-e-jānāñ kūcha-e-jānāñ thā phir
jannat-e-vā.iz ko Thukrānā paḌā
ho chukā nazrāna jab dil husn kā
phir jigar ko sāmne laanā paḌā
zindagī meñ jab na 'afqar' aa.e vo
zindagī ko maut ban jaanā paḌā
samne us but ke jab jaana paDa
kufr par iman mujhe lana paDa
bahar-e-darman un ko jab aana paDa
dard-e-dil ko aur baDh jaana paDa
phir bhi kab samjha fareb-e-husn ko
dil ko lakhon bar samjhana paDa
jite ji didar-e-jaanan tha muhaal
zindagi mein mujh ko mar jaana paDa
ku-e-jaanan kucha-e-jaanan tha phir
jannat-e-waiz ko Thukrana paDa
ho chuka nazrana jab dil husn ka
phir jigar ko samne lana paDa
zindagi mein jab na 'afqar' aae wo
zindagi ko maut ban jaana paDa
