marhale saḳht the magar ham log

chand lamhe ḳhayāl-o-ḳhvāb sahī

chand lamhe anīs-e-jāñ guzre

kitne ḳhāmosh hādse 'jāved'

dil hī dil meñ nihāñ nihāñ guzre

talKH guzre ki shadman guzre

zindagi ho to kyun garan guzre

tha jahan muddaton se sannaTa

mere hi dil ki dhaDkanen hongi

tum mere pas se kahan guzre

kyun na Dhal jae mere naghmon mein

kyun tera husn raegan guzre

chand lamhe KHayal-o-KHwab sahi

chand lamhe anis-e-jaan guzre

kitne KHamosh hadse 'jawed'

dil hi dil mein nihan nihan guzre
