zindagi ko hum wafa tak wo jafa tak le gae
zindagī ko ham vafā tak vo jafā tak le ga.e
apne apne fan ko donoñ intihā tak le ga.e
laġhzishoñ meñ kyā muāfī kī tavaqqo ho ki jab
be-gunāhī ko bhī merī vo sazā tak le ga.e
sāhiloñ par aur bhī ḳhush-zauq the lekin mujhe
pāniyoñ ke rañg har mauj-e-balā tak le ga.e
jī rahī hai ab to bastī ek sannāTe ke saath
jabr ke mausam faqīroñ kī sadā tak le ga.e
ik zabūñ-hālī to thī par tum mirī tārīḳh ko
chand hī barsoñ meñ daur-e-ibtilā tak le ga.e
āsmāñ kī dushmanī itnī bhī yak-tarfā nahīñ
ham bhī dhartī kī balāoñ ko ḳhalā tak le ga.e
ham ne ḳhud apnī duāoñ ko kiyā hai be-asar
ham jo chhoTī chhoTī bāteñ bhī ḳhudā tak le ga.e
kho chuke the vaqt kī pahchān bhī 'shahzād' ham
ajnabī lamhe magar ik āshnā tak le ga.e
zindagi ko hum wafa tak wo jafa tak le gae
apne apne fan ko donon intiha tak le gae
laghzishon mein kya muafi ki tawaqqo ho ki jab
be-gunahi ko bhi meri wo saza tak le gae
sahilon par aur bhi KHush-zauq the lekin mujhe
paniyon ke rang har mauj-e-bala tak le gae
ji rahi hai ab to basti ek sannaTe ke sath
jabr ke mausam faqiron ki sada tak le gae
ek zabun-haali to thi par tum meri tariKH ko
chand hi barson mein daur-e-ibtila tak le gae
aasman ki dushmani itni bhi yak-tarfa nahin
hum bhi dharti ki balaon ko KHala tak le gae
hum ne KHud apni duaon ko kiya hai be-asar
hum jo chhoTi chhoTi baaten bhi KHuda tak le gae
kho chuke the waqt ki pahchan bhi 'shahzad' hum
ajnabi lamhe magar ek aashna tak le gae
