aaj ik aur baras biit gayā us ke baġhair
jis ke hote hue hote the zamāne mere
sadā aish daurāñ dikhātā nahīñ
gayā vaqt phir haath aatā nahīñ
sada aish dauran dikhata nahin
gaya waqt phir hath aata nahin
tar-dāmanī pe shaiḳh hamārī na jā.iyo
dāman nichoḌ deñ to farishte vazū kareñ
do not be deceived by it damp disposition
if I wring my cloak, angels will do ablution
tar-damani pe shaiKH hamari na jaiyo
daman nichoD den to farishte wazu karen
ḳhudā ke vāste is ko na Toko
yahī ik shahr meñ qātil rahā hai
KHuda ke waste is ko na Toko
yahi ek shahr mein qatil raha hai
jab yaar ne uThā kar zulfoñ ke baal bāñdhe
tab maiñ ne apne dil meñ lākhoñ ḳhayāl bāñdhe
jab yar ne uTha kar zulfon ke baal bandhe
tab main ne apne dil mein lakhon KHayal bandhe
zindagī hai yā koī tūfān hai!
ham to is jiine ke hāthoñ mar chale
zindagi hai ya koi tufan hai!
hum to is jine ke hathon mar chale
