aaj ik aur baras biit gayā us ke baġhair
jis ke hote hue hote the zamāne mere
ik raat vo gayā thā jahāñ baat rok ke
ab tak rukā huā huuñ vahīñ raat rok ke
ek raat wo gaya tha jahan baat rok ke
ab tak ruka hua hun wahin raat rok ke
aks kis chiiz kā ā.īna-e-hairat meñ nahīñ
terī sūrat meñ hai kyā jo merī sūrat meñ nahīñ
aks kis chiz ka aaina-e-hairat mein nahin
teri surat mein hai kya jo meri surat mein nahin
ai dost maiñ ḳhāmosh kisī Dar se nahīñ thā
qaa.il hī tirī baat kā andar se nahīñ thā
ai dost main KHamosh kisi Dar se nahin tha
qail hi teri baat ka andar se nahin tha
bichhaḌne kā irāda hai to mujh se mashvara kar lo
mohabbat meñ koī bhī faisla zaatī nahīñ hotā
bichhaDne ka irada hai to mujh se mashwara kar lo
mohabbat mein koi bhi faisla zati nahin hota
DhūñD ujḌe hue logoñ meñ vafā ke motī
ye ḳhazāne tujhe mumkin hai ḳharāboñ meñ mileñ
seek ye pearls of faithfulness in those lost and drowned
it well could be these treasures in wastelands do abound
DhunD ujDe hue logon mein wafa ke moti
ye KHazane tujhe mumkin hai KHarabon mein milen
