aaKHiri bus

āḳhirī bus bhī lo ab guzar hī ga.ī

raat añdherī

havā tez

bārish bhī thamtī nahīñ

aur manzil tumhārī bahut duur hai

aise meñ ab kahāñ jāogī

aao

yādoñ kī dahlīz par baiTh kar

bāda-e-ahd-e-rafta ke sāġhar meñ ham

talḳhiyāñ haal kī ghol deñ

aaj ko bhuul kar

kal ko āvāz deñ

aa.ina to salāmat nahīñ hogā ab

tum ne sargoshiyoñ meñ diyā yuuñ javāb

aa.ina mere tum ho salāmat raho

aaj ye aa.ina bhī shikasta hai ḳhud dekh lo

zindagī pā-barahna hai ḳhud dekh lo

aaKHiri bus bhi lo ab guzar hi gai

raat andheri

hawa tez

barish bhi thamti nahin

aur manzil tumhaari bahut dur hai

aise mein ab kahan jaogi

aao

yaadon ki dahliz par baiTh kar

baada-e-ahd-e-rafta ke saghar mein hum

talKHiyan haal ki ghol den

aaj ko bhul kar

kal ko aawaz den

aaina to salamat nahin hoga ab

tum ne sargoshiyon mein diya yun jawab

aaina mere tum ho salamat raho

aaj ye aaina bhi shikasta hai KHud dekh lo

zindagi pa-barahna hai KHud dekh lo
