dasht-e-be-āb kī tarah guzrī
zindagī ḳhvāb kī tarah guzrī
chashm-e-pur-āb se tirī ḳhvāhish
raqs-e-mahtāb kī tarah guzrī
ek sūrat ko DhūñDte har shab
chashm-e-be-ḳhvāb kī tarah guzrī
hijr kī anjuman se har saa.at
ashk-e-be-tāb kī tarah guzrī
dāstāñ merī is kahānī ke
an-paḌhe baab kī tarah guzrī
dil ke dariyā se har ḳhushī 'amjad'
ek girdāb kī tarah guzrī
