naqd-e-jāñ kī mire sauġhāt abhī baaqī hai
shab-e-hijrāñ kī mudārāt abhī baaqī hai
dhuup meñ tark-e-marāsim kī jhulasne vaale
āḳhirī shām-e-mulāqāt abhī baaqī hai
ḳhāliq-e-kaun-o-makāñ ham se nahīñ hai nārāz
gardish-e-arz-o-samāvāt abhī baaqī hai
vaqt kī dhuup meñ kho.e mire nashshe kitne
ik tirī chashm-e-ḳharābāt abhī baaqī hai
roz-e-avval se ajal khel rahī hai shatranj
mujh ko shah ho bhī chukī maat abhī baaqī hai
chāñdnī par hai tumheñ rañg-e-sahar kā dhokā
gul na kar denā diye raat abhī baaqī hai
har ġhazal kī mujhe takmīl pe mahsūs huā
dil meñ kahne ko koī baat abhī baaqī hai
