sham-e-gham uske ham-rikab nahin
shām-e-ġham us ke ham-rikāb nahīñ
sāġhar-e-mai hai āftāb nahīñ
māne’-e-dīd shauq-e-behad hai
is se baḌh kar koī hijāb nahīñ
jo qayāmat na ho javānī kyā
yā qayāmat hai yā shabāb nahīñ
ik yahī hai haqīqat-e-sābit
bazm-e-hastī ḳhayāl-o-ḳhvāb nahīñ
maut kitnī hī shāndār sahī
zindagī kā magar javāb nahīñ
'vajd' shāhid hai raunaq-e-‘ālam
har junūñ ḳhānumāñ-ḳharāb nahīñ
sham-e-gham us ke ham-rikab nahin
saghar-e-mai hai aaftab nahin
mane’-e-did shauq-e-behad hai
is se baDh kar koi hijab nahin
jo qayamat na ho jawani kya
ya qayamat hai ya shabab nahin
ek yahi hai haqiqat-e-sabit
bazm-e-hasti KHayal-o-KHwab nahin
maut kitni hi shandar sahi
zindagi ka magar jawab nahin
'wajd' shahid hai raunaq-e-‘alam
har junun KHanuman-KHarab nahin
