aane vaale jaane vaale har zamāne ke liye
aadmī mazdūr hai rāheñ banāne ke liye

zindagī firdaus-e-gum-gashta ko pā saktī nahīñ
maut hī aatī hai ye manzil dikhāne ke liye

merī peshānī pe ik sajda to hai likkhā huā
ye nahīñ ma.alūm hai kis āstāne ke liye

un kā va.ada aur mujhe us par yaqīñ ai ham-nashīñ
ik bahāna hai taḌapne tilmilāne ke liye

jab se pahra zabt kā hai āñ.suoñ kī fasl par
ho ga.iiñ muhtāj āñkheñ daane daane ke liye

āḳhirī ummīd vaqt-e-naza.a un kī diid thī
maut ko bhī mil gayā fiqara na aane ke liye

allāh allāh dost ko merī tabāhī par ye naaz
sū-e-dushman dekhtā hai daad paane ke liye

ne.amat-e-ġham merā hissa mujh ko de de ai ḳhudā
jama.a rakh merī ḳhushī saare zamāne ke liye

nusḳha-e-hastī meñ ibrat ke sivā kyā thā 'hafīz'
surḳhiyāñ kuchh mil ga.iiñ apne fasāne ke liye

aane wale jaane wale har zamane ke liye
aadmi mazdur hai rahen banane ke liye

zindagi firdaus-e-gum-gashta ko pa sakti nahin
maut hi aati hai ye manzil dikhane ke liye

meri peshani pe ek sajda to hai likkha hua
ye nahin malum hai kis aastane ke liye

un ka wada aur mujhe us par yaqin ai ham-nashin
ek bahana hai taDapne tilmilane ke liye

jab se pahra zabt ka hai aansuon ki fasl par
ho gain muhtaj aankhen dane dane ke liye

aaKHiri ummid waqt-e-naza un ki did thi
maut ko bhi mil gaya fiqara na aane ke liye

allah allah dost ko meri tabahi par ye naz
su-e-dushman dekhta hai dad pane ke liye

neamat-e-gham mera hissa mujh ko de de ai KHuda
jama rakh meri KHushi sare zamane ke liye

nusKHa-e-hasti mein ibrat ke siwa kya tha 'hafiz'
surKHiyan kuchh mil gain apne fasane ke liye
