muddat kī tishnagī kā in.aam chāhtā huuñ
mastī bharī nazar se ik jaam chāhtā huuñ

ai gardish-e-zamāna zahmat to hogī tujh ko
kuchh der ke liye maiñ ārām chāhtā huuñ

kal ham se kah rahā thā shohrat-talab zamāna
tum kaam chāhte ho maiñ naam chāhtā huuñ

sub.h-e-hayāt le le ai zulf-e-yār lekin
maiñ tujh se is ke badle ik shaam chāhtā huuñ

bād-e-sabā se kah do merī taraf bhī aa.e
maiñ bhī 'hafīz' un kā paiġhām chāhtā huuñ

muddat ki tishnagi ka inam chahta hun
masti bhari nazar se ek jam chahta hun

ai gardish-e-zamana zahmat to hogi tujh ko
kuchh der ke liye main aaram chahta hun

kal hum se kah raha tha shohrat-talab zamana
tum kaam chahte ho main nam chahta hun

subh-e-hayat le le ai zulf-e-yar lekin
main tujh se is ke badle ek sham chahta hun

baad-e-saba se kah do meri taraf bhi aae
main bhi 'hafiz' un ka paigham chahta hun
