aaj ik aur baras biit gayā us ke baġhair
jis ke hote hue hote the zamāne mere
justujū karnī har ik amr meñ nādānī hai
jo ki peshānī pe likkhī hai vo pesh aanī hai
justuju karni har ek amr mein nadani hai
jo ki peshani pe likkhi hai wo pesh aani hai
paanī meñ aks aur kisī āsmāñ kā hai
ye naav kaun sī hai ye dariyā kahāñ kā hai
pani mein aks aur kisi aasman ka hai
ye naw kaun si hai ye dariya kahan ka hai
zindagī kyā hai anāsir meñ zuhūr-e-tartīb
maut kyā hai inhīñ ajzā kā pareshāñ honā
zindagi kya hai anasir mein zuhur-e-tartib
maut kya hai inhin ajza ka pareshan hona
kuchh nazar aatā nahīñ us ke tasavvur ke sivā
hasrat-e-dīdār ne āñkhoñ ko andhā kar diyā
save visions of her, nothing comes to mind
the longing for her sight surely turned me blind
kuchh nazar aata nahin us ke tasawwur ke siwa
hasrat-e-didar ne aankhon ko andha kar diya
le mere tajraboñ se sabaq ai mire raqīb
do-chār saal umr meñ tujh se baḌā huuñ maiñ
le mere tajrabon se sabaq ai mere raqib
do-chaar sal umr mein tujh se baDa hun main
