aaj ik aur baras biit gayā us ke baġhair
jis ke hote hue hote the zamāne mere
zarā visāl ke ba.ad aa.ina to dekh ai dost
tire jamāl kī doshīzgī nikhar aa.ī
zara visal ke baad aaina to dekh ai dost
tere jamal ki doshizgi nikhar aai
chand tasvīr-e-butāñ chand hasīnoñ ke ḳhutūt
ba.ad marne ke mire ghar se ye sāmāñ niklā
chand taswir-e-butan chand hasinon ke KHutut
baad marne ke mere ghar se ye saman nikla
kahte haiñ umr-e-rafta kabhī lauTtī nahīñ
jā mai-kade se merī javānī uThā ke lā
tis said this fleeting life once gone never returns
go to the tavern and bring back my youth again
kahte hain umr-e-rafta kabhi lauTti nahin
ja mai-kade se meri jawani uTha ke la
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
uTho ye manzar-e-shab-tāb dekhne ke liye
ki niiñd shart nahīñ ḳhvāb dekhne ke liye
uTho ye manzar-e-shab-tab dekhne ke liye
ki nind shart nahin KHwab dekhne ke liye
