wo mar gaya sada-e-nauha-gar mein kitni der hai
vo mar gayā sadā-e-nauha-gar meñ kitnī der hai
ki sāneha to ho chukā ḳhabar meñ kitnī der hai
hamāre shahr kī rivāyatoñ meñ ek ye bhī thā
duā se qabl pūchhnā asar meñ kitnī der hai
muqābla hai raqs kā bagūlā kab kā aa chukā
magar patā nahīñ abhī bhañvar meñ kitnī der hai
ḳhudā-e-mahr āsmāñ ujaal de ki yuuñ na ho
diye ko pūchhnā paḌe sahar meñ kitnī der hai
hazār kuufa o halab guzar rahe haiñ roz o shab
maiñ jis taraf chalā huuñ us nagar meñ kitnī der hai
ḳhirad kī tez dhuup meñ junūñ kā sā.ebāñ khilā
maiñ biij bo chukā so ab shajar meñ kitnī der hai
abhī hameñ guzārnī hai ek umr-e-muḳhtasar
magar hamārī umr-e-muḳhtasar meñ kitnī der hai
wo mar gaya sada-e-nauha-gar mein kitni der hai
ki saneha to ho chuka KHabar mein kitni der hai
hamare shahr ki riwayaton mein ek ye bhi tha
dua se qabl puchhna asar mein kitni der hai
muqabla hai raqs ka bagula kab ka aa chuka
magar pata nahin abhi bhanwar mein kitni der hai
KHuda-e-mahr aasman ujal de ki yun na ho
diye ko puchhna paDe sahar mein kitni der hai
hazar kufa o halab guzar rahe hain roz o shab
main jis taraf chala hun us nagar mein kitni der hai
KHirad ki tez dhup mein junun ka saeban khila
main bij bo chuka so ab shajar mein kitni der hai
abhi hamein guzarni hai ek umr-e-muKHtasar
magar hamari umr-e-muKHtasar mein kitni der hai
