aaj ik aur baras biit gayā us ke baġhair
jis ke hote hue hote the zamāne mere
baare duniyā meñ raho ġham-zada yā shaad raho
aisā kuchh kar ke chalo yaañ ki bahut yaad raho
bare duniya mein raho gham-zada ya shad raho
aisa kuchh kar ke chalo yan ki bahut yaad raho
pūchho na araq ruḳhsāroñ se rañgīnī-e-husn ko baḌhne do
sunte haiñ ki shabnam ke qatre phūloñ ko nikhārā karte haiñ
wipe not the droplets from your face, let beauty's lustre grow
drops of dew when flowers grace, enhance their freshness so
puchho na araq ruKHsaron se rangini-e-husn ko baDhne do
sunte hain ki shabnam ke qatre phulon ko nikhaara karte hain
hosh vāloñ ko ḳhabar kyā be-ḳhudī kyā chiiz hai
ishq kiije phir samajhiye zindagī kyā chiiz hai
hosh walon ko KHabar kya be-KHudi kya chiz hai
ishq kije phir samajhiye zindagi kya chiz hai
kuchh usūloñ kā nasha thā kuchh muqaddas ḳhvāb the
har zamāne meñ shahādat ke yahī asbāb the
kuchh usulon ka nasha tha kuchh muqaddas KHwab the
har zamane mein shahadat ke yahi asbab the
maut kahte haiñ jis ko ai 'sāġhar'
zindagī kī koī kaḌī hogī
maut kahte hain jis ko ai 'saghar'
zindagi ki koi kaDi hogi
