sabr-o-taslim ki sipar bhi nahin

sabr-o-taslīm kī sipar bhī nahīñ

aur tadbīr kār-gar bhī nahīñ

tujh se tark-e-ta.alluqāt bhī hai

aur tirī yaad se mafar bhī nahīñ

ab ye kam-himmatī kā aalam hai

e'timād apne-āp par bhī nahīñ

ġham kī tīra-shabī ma.āz-allāh

ab to andāza-e-sahar bhī nahīñ

manziloñ kā surāġh DhūñDhte haiñ

jo sazā-vār-e-rahguzar bhī nahīñ

dil nahīñ mo'atabar na ho lekin

mo'atabar kyā tirī nazar bhī nahīñ

ham pe kyuuñ charḳh kī nigāh paḌī

ham to kuchh aise nāmvar bhī nahīñ

sabr-o-taslim ki sipar bhi nahin

aur tadbir kar-gar bhi nahin

tujh se tark-e-talluqat bhi hai

aur teri yaad se mafar bhi nahin

ab ye kam-himmati ka aalam hai

e'timad apne-ap par bhi nahin

gham ki tira-shabi maaz-allah

ab to andaza-e-sahar bhi nahin

manzilon ka suragh DhunDhte hain

jo saza-war-e-rahguzar bhi nahin

dil nahin mo'atabar na ho lekin

mo'atabar kya teri nazar bhi nahin

hum pe kyun charKH ki nigah paDi

hum to kuchh aise namwar bhi nahin
