zindagi hum pe mehrban na hui
zindagī ham pe mehrbāñ na huī
phir bhī ummīd bad-gumāñ na huī
pañkh TuuTe haiñ go uḌānoñ meñ
chashm mahrūm-e-āsmāñ na huī
dil pe garche sukūt chhāyā thā
aatmā apnī be zabāñ na huī
jaarī thā yuuñ safar havādis meñ
sust raftār-e-kārvāñ na huī
paañv chhalnī hue magar 'bismil'
daulat-e-azm nā-tavāñ na huī
zindagi hum pe mehrban na hui
phir bhi ummid bad-guman na hui
pankh TuTe hain go uDanon mein
chashm mahrum-e-asman na hui
dil pe garche sukut chhaya tha
aatma apni be zaban na hui
jari tha yun safar hawadis mein
sust raftar-e-karwan na hui
panw chhalni hue magar 'bismil'
daulat-e-azm na-tawan na hui
