ufuq ufuq nae suraj nikalte rahte hain
ufuq ufuq na.e sūraj nikalte rahte haiñ
diye jaleñ na jaleñ daaġh jalte rahte haiñ
mirī galī ke makīñ ye mire rafīq-e-safar
ye log vo haiñ jo chehre badalte rahte haiñ
zamāne ko to hamesha safar meñ rahnā hai
jo qāfile na chaleñ raste chalte rahte haiñ
hazār sañg-e-girāñ ho hazār jabr-e-zamāñ
magar hayāt ke chashme ubalte rahte haiñ
ye aur baat ki ham meñ hī sabr-o-zabt nahīñ
ye aur baat ki lamhāt Talte rahte haiñ
ye vaqt-e-shām hai yā rab dil o nazar kī ho ḳhair
ki is samay meñ to saa.e bhī Dhalte rahte haiñ
kabhī vo din the zamāne se āshnā.ī thī
aur ā.īne se ab 'aḳhtar' bahalte rahte haiñ
ufuq ufuq nae suraj nikalte rahte hain
diye jalen na jalen dagh jalte rahte hain
meri gali ke makin ye mere rafiq-e-safar
ye log wo hain jo chehre badalte rahte hain
zamane ko to hamesha safar mein rahna hai
jo qafile na chalen raste chalte rahte hain
hazar sang-e-giran ho hazar jabr-e-zaman
magar hayat ke chashme ubalte rahte hain
ye aur baat ki hum mein hi sabr-o-zabt nahin
ye aur baat ki lamhat Talte rahte hain
ye waqt-e-sham hai ya rab dil o nazar ki ho KHair
ki is samay mein to sae bhi Dhalte rahte hain
kabhi wo din the zamane se aashnai thi
aur aaine se ab 'aKHtar' bahalte rahte hain
