pi pi ke jagmagae zamane guzar gae
raaton ko din banae zamane guzar gae

jaan-e-bahaar phul nahin aadmi hun main
aa ja ki muskurae zamane guzar gae

kya laiq-e-sitam bhi nahin ab main dosto
patthar bhi ghar mein aae zamane guzar gae

o jaane wale aa ki tere intizar mein
raste ko ghar banae zamane guzar gae

gham hai na ab khushi hai na ummid hai na yas
sab se najat pae zamane guzar gae

marne se wo daren jo ba-qaid-e-hayat hain
mujh ko to maut aae zamane guzar gae

kya kya tawaqquat thin aahon se ai 'khumar'
ye tir bhi chalae zamane guzar gae
