tham zara waqt-e-ajal didar-e-jaan hone laga
tham zarā vaqt-e-ajal dīdār-e-jāñ hone lagā
āḳhirī hichkī pe koī mehrbāñ hone lagā
kis sitamgar ne uḌā lī yād-e-māzī kī bayāz
har galī har moḌ par qissa bayāñ hone lagā
jaane kis gul ne chaman kī hurmateñ pāmāl kiiñ
mausam-e-fasl-e-bahārāñ bhī ḳhizāñ hone lagā
dafn kar ke qabr meñ jab jā chuke ahbāb dost
jo kabhī sochā na thā vo imtihāñ hone lagā
dast-o-pā shal ho ga.e haiñ quvvateñ zaa.il huiiñ
zindagānī kā safar aage ravāñ hone lagā
ḳhvāhishoñ kī chaah meñ ḳhusrān ke saude kiye
manfa.at samjhā jise āḳhir ziyāñ hone lagā
koī va.ada aaj tak iifā nahīñ tum ne kiyā
baat sachchī thī magar vo bad-gumāñ hone lagā
paañv kī aahaT ne mujh ko gor meñ chauñkā diyā
hichkiyoñ kā saaz dil kā tarjumāñ hone lagā
kaisī ḳhush-fahmī tumheñ kis baat kā ġharra 'umīd'
aa ga.e haiñ aqrabā vaqt-e-azāñ hone lagā
tham zara waqt-e-ajal didar-e-jaan hone laga
aaKHiri hichki pe koi mehrban hone laga
kis sitamgar ne uDa li yaad-e-mazi ki bayaz
har gali har moD par qissa bayan hone laga
jaane kis gul ne chaman ki hurmaten pamal kin
mausam-e-fasl-e-bahaaran bhi KHizan hone laga
dafn kar ke qabr mein jab ja chuke ahbab dost
jo kabhi socha na tha wo imtihan hone laga
dast-o-pa shal ho gae hain quwwaten zail huin
zindagani ka safar aage rawan hone laga
KHwahishon ki chah mein KHusran ke saude kiye
manfat samjha jise aaKHir ziyan hone laga
koi wada aaj tak ifa nahin tum ne kiya
baat sachchi thi magar wo bad-guman hone laga
panw ki aahaT ne mujh ko gor mein chaunka diya
hichkiyon ka saz dil ka tarjuman hone laga
kaisi KHush-fahmi tumhein kis baat ka gharra 'umid'
aa gae hain aqraba waqt-e-azan hone laga
