jaane is vaqt kahāñ phone paḌā ho us kā

jaane is vaqt vo kis shaḳhs kī āġhosh meñ ho

jaane is waqt kahan phone paDa ho us ka

jaane is waqt wo kis shaKHs ki aaghosh mein ho

safar nigal ga.e ham ko vagarna ham ne bhī

kahīñ pahuñch ke kisī ko gale lagānā thā

safar nigal gae hum ko wagarna hum ne bhi

kahin pahunch ke kisi ko gale lagana tha

ḳhudā ko ḳhat likhūñgā ḳhud-kushī kā

likhūñgā maiñ resign kar rahā huuñ

KHuda ko KHat likhunga KHud-kushi ka

likhunga main resign kar raha hun

paanī kī pesh-raft ne sūkhā bhagā diyā

bārish ke baa'd ghaas kī TukḌī lahak uThī

pani ki pesh-raft ne sukha bhaga diya

barish ke ba'd ghas ki TukDi lahak uThi

us kī āñkhoñ pe mire paas koī she'r nahīñ

ek mazmūn hai mazmūn bhī tafsīlī hai

us ki aankhon pe mere pas koi she'r nahin

ek mazmun hai mazmun bhi tafsili hai
