ik fasāna sun ga.e ik kah ga.e
maiñ jo royā muskurā kar rah ga.e

yā tire mohtāj haiñ ai ḳhūn-e-dil
yā inhīñ āñkhoñ se dariyā bah ga.e

maut un kā muñh hī taktī rah ga.ī
jo tirī furqat ke sadme sah ga.e

tū salāmat hai to ham ai dard-e-dil
mar hī jā.eñge jo jiite rah ga.e

phir kisī kī yaad ne taḌpā diyā
phir kaleja thaam kar ham rah ga.e

uTh ga.e duniyā se 'fānī' ahl-e-zauq
ek ham marne ko zinda rah ga.e

ek fasana sun gae ek kah gae
main jo roya muskura kar rah gae

ya tere mohtaj hain ai KHun-e-dil
ya inhin aankhon se dariya bah gae

maut un ka munh hi takti rah gai
jo teri furqat ke sadme sah gae

tu salamat hai to hum ai dard-e-dil
mar hi jaenge jo jite rah gae

phir kisi ki yaad ne taDpa diya
phir kaleja tham kar hum rah gae

uTh gae duniya se 'fani' ahl-e-zauq
ek hum marne ko zinda rah gae
