umr baDhti ja rahi hai zist ghaTti jae hai

bhaTak ke rah se hum sab ko aazma aae

aarzu tadbir ho kar rah gai

koi ummid na bar aai shakebai ki

dil ki rakhna dekh bhaal ai dil-bar-e-rangin-jamal

mila ek guna sukun hamein jo tumhaare hijr mein ro liye

hum to ab jati ruten hain humse ye ighmaz kyun

junun irfan ban kar rah gaya hai

nala-e-subh ke baghair giriya-e-sham ke baghair

zindagi ke aaKHiri lamhe KHushi se bhar gaya

wo kya zindagi jis mein joshish nahin

makan andar se KHasta ho gaya hai

taras raha hun adam aarmida KHushbu ko
