itanaa to zi.ndagiii me.n kisii kii Kalal pa.De
ha.Nsane se ho sukuun naa rone se kal pa.De

jis tarah ha.Ns rahaa huu.N mai.n pii-pii ke ashk-e-Gam
yuu.N duusaraa ha.Nse to kalejaa nikal pa.De

ek tum ke tum ko fikr-e-nasheb-o-faraaz hai
ek ham ke chal pa.De to baharahaal chal pa.De

%[nasheb = descent; faraaz = ascent]

muddat ke baad us ne jo kii lutf kii nigaah
jii Kush to ho gayaa magar aa.Nsuu nikal pa.De

saaqii sabhii ko hai Gam-e-tashnaalabii magar
may hai usii ke naam pe jis ke ubal pa.De
