guzarnā hai jī se guzar jā.iye
liye dīda-e-tar kidhar jā.iye
khule dil se miltā nahīñ ab koī
use bhūlne kis ke ghar jā.iye
subuk-rau hai mauj-e-ġham-e-dil abhī
abhī vaqt hai paar utar jā.iye
ulaT to diyā parda-e-shab magar
nahīñ sūjhtā ab kidhar jā.iye
ilāj-e-ġham-e-dil na sahrā na ghar
vahī hū kā aalam jidhar jā.iye
isī moḌ par ham hue the judā
mile haiñ to dam bhar Thahar jā.iye
kaThin haiñ bahut hijr ke marhale
taqāzā hai hañs kar guzar jā.iye
ab us dar kī 'aḳhtar' havā aur hai
liye apne shām-o-sahar jā.iye
