    chehre rūhoñ be-mā.egī

    zehn tīrgī ke siyah aa.ine

    sard ā.ankhoñ ke tārīk rauzan meñ dubkā huā ik ḳhalā

    ek sannāTā hoñToñ ke basta makāñ meñ hai soyā huā

    ruuh ko jehd-e-tahsīl-e-zar khā ga.ī

    zehn raushnī nā-ummīdī zulmat meñ dhundlā ga.ī

    āñkheñ nākāmiyoñ ke khañDar meñ makāñ ke tasavvur se aarī huiiñ

    hoñT kashkol daryūza-gar ban ke lafzoñ ke ismat dūkāñ bane

    aur ab kuchh nahīñ

    aur ab kuchh nahīñ

    ek dīvāna gar ḳhvāhish-e-zīst hai

    ḳhāl-o-ḳhat dast-o-pā

    sīna-o-sar shikam aur zer-e-shikam

    ek dīvāna gar ḳhvāhish-e-zīst a.azā meñ dauḌī huī

    ek be-ma.anī bekār apāhij havas-e-jism ke tāne-bāne ko thāme hue

    sirf us ek lamhe aamad hai intizār

    jab ki zehnoñ ke rūhoñ ke aa.ine

    ā.ankhoñ meñ dubkā ḳhat

    aur hoñToñ se lipTā sukūt

    ek baar ḳhvāhish-e-zīst se kah sakeñ

    ziist ham par hamesha se ilzām hai

    ham na zinda rahe haiñ kabhī aur na zinda haiñ ab

    ek dīvāna-gar ḳhvāhish-e-marg thī hamāre liye zindagī

    chehre ruhon ki be-maegi

    zehn ki tirgi ke siyah aaine

    sard aaankhon ke tarik rauzan mein dubka hua ek KHala

    ek sannaTa honTon ke basta makan mein hai soya hua

    ruh ko jehd-e-tahsil-e-zar kha gai

    zehn ki raushni na-ummidi ki zulmat mein dhundla gai

    aankhen nakaamiyon ke khanDar mein makan ke tasawwur se aari huin

    honT kashkol daryuza-gar ban ke lafzon ke ismat ki dukan bane

    aur ab kuchh nahin

    aur ab kuchh nahin

    ek diwana gar KHwahish-e-zist hai

    KHal-o-KHat dast-o-pa

    sina-o-sar shikam aur zer-e-shikam

    ek diwana gar KHwahish-e-zist aaza mein dauDi hui

    ek be-mani bekar apahij hawas-e-jism ke tane-bane ko thame hue

    sirf us ek lamhe ki aamad ka hai intizar

    jab ki zehnon ke ruhon ke aaine

    aaankhon mein dubka KHat

    aur honTon se lipTa sukut

    ek bar KHwahish-e-zist se kah saken

    zist hum par hamesha se ilzam hai

    hum na zinda rahe hain kabhi aur na zinda hain ab

    ek diwana-gar KHwahish-e-marg hi thi hamare liye zindagi
