umr guzri hai kaamrani se
umr guzrī hai kāmrānī se
koī shikva nahīñ javānī se
misl-e-ādam hai be-gharī apnī
kaun Dartā hai be-makānī se
yuuñ musalsal azaab jhelā hai
ashk lagne lage haiñ paanī se
ham hī kirdār the kahānī ke
ham hī bāhar hue kahānī se
sach chhupānā muhāl hai sāhab
jhuuT se yā ki lan-tarānī se
kyā vo pariyāñ qamar-asīr huiiñ
sunte aa.e the ham jo naanī se
zulmatoñ meñ bhī hans ke khul jaanā
us ne sīkhā hai rāt-rānī se
bāñjh āñkheñ huiiñ magar 'zākir'
ḳhvāb aate rahe ravānī se
umr guzri hai kaamrani se
koi shikwa nahin jawani se
misl-e-adam hai be-ghari apni
kaun Darta hai be-makani se
yun musalsal azab jhela hai
ashk lagne lage hain pani se
hum hi kirdar the kahani ke
hum hi bahar hue kahani se
sach chhupana muhaal hai sahab
jhuT se ya ki lan-tarani se
kya wo pariyan qamar-asir huin
sunte aae the hum jo nani se
zulmaton mein bhi hans ke khul jaana
us ne sikha hai raat-rani se
banjh aankhen huin magar 'zakir'
KHwab aate rahe rawani se
