Ilaahee! kyoN naheeN jaataa yeh mere jee kaa Gham?

Ilaahee! kyoN naheeN jaataa yeh mere jee kaa Gham?
kisee kee yaad, kisee kaa junooN, kisee kaa Gham!

karooN to kyaa karooN maiN teree kaj-rawee kaa Gham
tujh`e Zaraa bh`ee naheeN meree be-kasee kaa Gham!

daleel-e-raah bh`ee, manzil bh`ee aur jaras bh`ee yehee
a'jeeb cheez hai yaaro yeh zindagee kaa Gham!

ham aise meHw-e-tamaashah th`e Zaat meN apnee
milaa nah waqt keh hotaa hameN Khudee kaa Gham

hazaar marHale ik raah-e-zeest meN aaYe
kabh`ee to Gham se Khusee th`ee, kabh`ee Khushee kaa Gham!

yeh SubH-o-shaam kee zeHmat! are ma,a'aZ-Allah!
karooN nah shikwah agar ho kabh`ee kabh`ee kaa Gham!

yeh kis ne kar diyaa sood-o-ziyaaN se begaanah?
nah dostee kee Khalish hai, nah dushmanee kaa Gham

faraaz-e-i'shq-o-wafaa? laa-ilaahah-ill-Allah!
yehee keh aadamee ko ho to aadamee kaa Gham!

sha,o'or-e-Zaat ne waa kar diyaa dar-e-jaanaaN
rahee Khudee kee tamannaa, nah beKhudee kaa Gham

Khudaa-nah-Khwaastah "Sarwar" tujh`e tabaah kare
talaash-e-Zabt^-o-sukooN meN Khud-aagahee kaa Gham!
