zindagi se meri is tarah mulaqat hui

zindagī se mirī is tarah mulāqāt huī

lab hile aañkh milī aur na koī baat huī

dard kī dhuup nahīñ yaad kā saaya bhī nahīñ

ab to qismat merī be-rañgī-e-hālāt huī

sirf kal hī nahīñ is daur meñ bhī dīda-varī

nazr-e-auhām huī said-e-rivāyāt huī

kal to mehvar the mirī zaat ke ye kaun-o-makāñ

kā.enāt aaj jo simTī to mirī zaat huī

sar ko phoḌā kiye patthar se samundar se laḌe

sub.h yuuñ shaam huī shaam se yuuñ raat huī

ghar mirā dekh liyā sail-e-balā ne 'shiblī'

āgahī kyā huī ik dard kī sauġhāt huī

zindagi se meri is tarah mulaqat hui

lab hile aankh mili aur na koi baat hui

dard ki dhup nahin yaad ka saya bhi nahin

ab to qismat meri be-rangi-e-haalat hui

sirf kal hi nahin is daur mein bhi dida-wari

nazr-e-auham hui said-e-riwayat hui

kal to mehwar the meri zat ke ye kaun-o-makan

kaenat aaj jo simTi to meri zat hui

sar ko phoDa kiye patthar se samundar se laDe

subh yun sham hui sham se yun raat hui

ghar mera dekh liya sail-e-bala ne 'shibli'

aagahi kya hui ek dard ki saughat hui
