ek kahani KHatm hui hai ek kahani baqi hai

ek kahānī ḳhatm huī hai ek kahānī baaqī hai

maiñ be-shak mismār huuñ lekin merā saanī baaqī hai

dasht-e-junūñ kī ḳhaak uḌāne vāloñ kī himmat dekho

TuuT chuke haiñ andar se lekin man-mānī baaqī hai

haath mire patvār bane haiñ aur lahreñ kashtī merī

zor havā kā qaa.em hai dariyā kī ravānī baaqī hai

gaahe gaahe ab bhī chale jaate haiñ ham us kūche meñ

zehn buzurgī oḌh chukā dil kī nādānī baaqī hai

kuchh ġhazleñ un zulfoñ par haiñ kuchh ġhazleñ un āñkhoñ par

jaane vaale dost kī ab ik yahī nishānī baaqī hai

na.ī na.ī āvāzeñ ubhrīñ 'pāshī' aur phir Duub ga.iiñ

shahr-e-suḳhan meñ lekin ik āvāz purānī baaqī hai

ek kahani KHatm hui hai ek kahani baqi hai

main be-shak mismar hun lekin mera sani baqi hai

dasht-e-junun ki KHak uDane walon ki himmat dekho

TuT chuke hain andar se lekin man-mani baqi hai

hath mere patwar bane hain aur lahren kashti meri

zor hawa ka qaem hai dariya ki rawani baqi hai

gahe gahe ab bhi chale jate hain hum us kuche mein

zehn buzurgi oDh chuka dil ki nadani baqi hai

kuchh ghazlen un zulfon par hain kuchh ghazlen un aankhon par

jaane wale dost ki ab ek yahi nishani baqi hai

nai nai aawazen ubhrin 'pashi' aur phir Dub gain

shahr-e-suKHan mein lekin ek aawaz purani baqi hai
