ek din KHud ko apne pas biThaya humne

ik din ḳhud ko apne paas biThāyā ham ne

pahle yaar banāyā phir samjhāyā ham ne

ḳhud bhī āḳhir-kār unhī va.adoñ se bahle

jin se saarī duniyā ko bahlāyā ham ne

bhiiḌ ne yūñhī rahbar maan liyā hai varna

apne alāva kis ko ghar pahuñchāyā ham ne

maut ne saarī raat hamārī nabz TaTolī

aisā marne kā māhaul banāyā ham ne

ghar se nikle chauk ga.e phir park meñ baiThe

tanhā.ī ko jagah jagah bikhrāyā ham ne

in lamhoñ meñ kis ki shirkat kaisī shirkat

use bulā kar apnā kaam baḌhāyā ham ne

duniyā ke kachche rañgoñ kā ronā royā

phir duniyā par apnā rañg jamāyā ham ne

jab 'shāriq' pahchān ga.e manzil kī haqīqat

phir raste ko raste bhar uljhāyā ham ne

ek din KHud ko apne pas biThaya hum ne

pahle yar banaya phir samjhaya hum ne

KHud bhi aaKHir-kar unhi wadon se bahle

jin se sari duniya ko bahlaya hum ne

bhiD ne yunhi rahbar man liya hai warna

apne alawa kis ko ghar pahunchaya hum ne

maut ne sari raat hamari nabz TaToli

aisa marne ka mahaul banaya hum ne

ghar se nikle chauk gae phir park mein baiThe

tanhai ko jagah jagah bikhraya hum ne

in lamhon mein kis ki shirkat kaisi shirkat

use bula kar apna kaam baDhaya hum ne

duniya ke kachche rangon ka rona roya

phir duniya par apna rang jamaya hum ne

jab 'shaariq' pahchan gae manzil ki haqiqat

phir raste ko raste bhar uljhaya hum ne
