aaj ik aur baras biit gayā us ke baġhair
jis ke hote hue hote the zamāne mere
ye hamīñ haiñ ki tirā dard chhupā kar dil meñ
kaam duniyā ke ba-dastūr kiye jaate haiñ
tis only I who with your ache, in my heart replete
silently the tasks assigned, do sincerely complete
ye hamin hain ki tera dard chhupa kar dil mein
kaam duniya ke ba-dastur kiye jate hain
dekh raftār-e-inqalāb 'firāq'
kitnī āhista aur kitnī tez
dekh raftar-e-inqalab 'firaq'
kitni aahista aur kitni tez
yā to jo nā-fahm haiñ vo bolte haiñ in dinoñ
yā jinheñ ḳhāmosh rahne kī sazā ma.alūm hai
ya to jo na-fahm hain wo bolte hain in dinon
ya jinhen KHamosh rahne ki saza malum hai
rote phirte haiñ saarī saarī raat
ab yahī rozgār hai apnā
rote phirte hain sari sari raat
ab yahi rozgar hai apna
āgāh apnī maut se koī bashar nahīñ
sāmān sau baras kā hai pal kī ḳhabar nahīñ
the time of his death, man cannot foresee
uncertain of the morrow yet, plans for a century
aagah apni maut se koi bashar nahin
saman sau baras ka hai pal ki KHabar nahin
