zindagi KHatm bhi hone pe kasak baqi hai

zindagī ḳhatm bhī hone pe kasak baaqī hai

ujḌe ghar meñ tirī sāñsoñ kī mahak baaqī hai

mere hamdam mujhe bedād se mahrūm na kar

dāman-e-rūh meñ zaḳhmoñ kī tapak baaqī hai

mujh ko do chaar ghaḌī aur bhī jiine diije

siskiyoñ kī abhī zaḳhmoñ meñ sanak baaqī hai

aas kī sham.a pighalne ko hai ab to aa jā

raat baaqī hai sitāroñ meñ chamak baaqī hai

maiñ kisī va.ada-farāmosh kā ā.īna huuñ

merī āñkhoñ meñ abhī us kī jhalak baaqī hai

dil-e-zaḳhmī liye baiThā huuñ azīzān-e-kirām

aao kuchh aur chhiḌak do jo namak baaqī hai

zindagi KHatm bhi hone pe kasak baqi hai

ujDe ghar mein teri sanson ki mahak baqi hai

mere hamdam mujhe bedad se mahrum na kar

daman-e-ruh mein zaKHmon ki tapak baqi hai

mujh ko do chaar ghaDi aur bhi jine dije

siskiyon ki abhi zaKHmon mein sanak baqi hai

aas ki shama pighalne ko hai ab to aa ja

raat baqi hai sitaron mein chamak baqi hai

main kisi wada-faramosh ka aaina hun

meri aankhon mein abhi us ki jhalak baqi hai

dil-e-zaKHmi liye baiTha hun azizan-e-kiram

aao kuchh aur chhiDak do jo namak baqi hai
