aaj ik aur baras biit gayā us ke baġhair
jis ke hote hue hote the zamāne mere
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
kaise ākāsh meñ sūrāḳh nahīñ ho saktā
ek patthar to tabī.at se uchhālo yaaro
kaise aakash mein suraKH nahin ho sakta
ek patthar to tabiat se uchhaalo yaro
na pūchh haal mirā chob-e-ḳhushk-e-sahrā huuñ
lagā ke aag mujhe kārvāñ ravāna huā
na puchh haal mera chob-e-KHushk-e-sahra hun
laga ke aag mujhe karwan rawana hua
ulTī ho ga.iiñ sab tadbīreñ kuchh na davā ne kaam kiyā
dekhā is bīmāri-e-dil ne āḳhir kaam tamām kiyā
ulTi ho gain sab tadbiren kuchh na dawa ne kaam kiya
dekha is bimari-e-dil ne aaKHir kaam tamam kiya
donoñ jahān terī mohabbat meñ haar ke
vo jā rahā hai koī shab-e-ġham guzār ke
donon jahan teri mohabbat mein haar ke
wo ja raha hai koi shab-e-gham guzar ke
