    kar chukā huuñ aaj azm-e-āḳhirī

    shaam se pahle kar detā thā maiñ

    chaaT kar dīvār ko nok-e-zabāñ se nā-tavāñ

    sub.h hone tak vo ho jaatī thī dobāra buland,

    raat ko jab ghar ruḳh kartā thā maiñ

    tīrgī ko dekhtā thā sar-nigūñ

    muñh basore rahguzāroñ se lipaTte, sogvār

    ghar pahuñchtā thā maiñ insānoñ se uktāyā huā

    merā azm-e-āḳhirī ye hai ke maiñ

    kuud jā.ūñ sātvīñ manzil se aaj!

    aaj maiñ ne liyā hai zindagī ko be-naqāb,

    aatā jaatā thā baḌī muddat se maiñ

    ek ishva-sāz o harzah-kār mahbūba ke paas

    us ke Taḳht-e-ḳhvāb ke nīche magar

    aaj maiñ ne dekh paayā hai lahū

    taaza o raḳhshāñ lahū,

    bū-e-mai meñ bū-e-ḳhūñ uljhī huii!

    vo abhī tak ḳhvāb-gah meñ lauT kar aa.ī nahīñ

    aur maiñ kar bhī chukā huuñ apnā azm-e-āḳhirī!

    meñ aa.ī hai lagā duuñ ek bebākāna jast

    us darīche meñ se jo

    jhāñktā hai sātvīñ manzil se kū-e-bām ko!

    shaam se pahle kar detā thā maiñ

    chaaT kar dīvār ko nok-e-zabāñ se nā-tavāñ

    sub.h hone tak vo ho jaatī thī dobāra buland

    aaj to āḳhir ham-āġhosh-e-zamīñ ho jā.egī!

    kar chuka hun aaj azm-e-aKHiri

    sham se pahle hi kar deta tha main

    chaT kar diwar ko nok-e-zaban se na-tawan

    subh hone tak wo ho jati thi dobara buland,

    raat ko jab ghar ka ruKH karta tha main

    tirgi ko dekhta tha sar-nigun

    munh basore rahguzaron se lipaTte, sogwar

    ghar pahunchta tha main insanon se uktaya hua

    mera azm-e-aKHiri ye hai ke main

    kud jaun satwin manzil se aaj!

    aaj main ne pa liya hai zindagi ko be-naqab,

    aata jata tha baDi muddat se main

    ek ishwa-saz o harzah-kar mahbuba ke pas

    us ke TaKHt-e-KHwab ke niche magar

    aaj main ne dekh paya hai lahu

    taza o raKHshan lahu,

    bu-e-mai mein bu-e-KHun uljhi hui!

    wo abhi tak KHwab-gah mein lauT kar aai nahin

    aur main kar bhi chuka hun apna azm-e-aKHiri!

    ji mein aai hai laga dun ek bebakana jast

    us dariche mein se jo

    jhankta hai satwin manzil se ku-e-baam ko!

    sham se pahle hi kar deta tha main

    chaT kar diwar ko nok-e-zaban se na-tawan

    subh hone tak wo ho jati thi dobara buland

    aaj to aaKHir ham-aghosh-e-zamin ho jaegi!
