waqt raste mein khaDa hai ki nahin
vaqt raste meñ khaḌā hai ki nahīñ
dil se ab pūchh ḳhudā hai ki nahīñ
sohbat-e-shīsha-garāñ hai inkār
sañg ā.īna banā hai ki nahīñ
har kiran vaqt-e-sahar kahtī hai
rauzan-e-dil koī vā hai ki nahīñ
rañg har baat meñ bharne vaalo
qissa kuchh aage baḌhā hai ki nahīñ
zindagī jurm banī jaatī hai
jurm kī koī sazā hai ki nahīñ
dost har aib chhupā lete haiñ
koī dushman bhī tirā hai ki nahīñ
zaḳhm-e-dil manzil-e-jāñ tak aa.e
sañg-e-rah saath chalā hai ki nahīñ
kho ga.e raah ke sannāTe meñ
ab koī dil kī sadā hai ki nahīñ
ham tarasne lage bū-e-gul ko
kahīñ gulshan meñ sabā hai ki nahīñ
hukm-e-hākim hai ki ḳhāmosh raho
bolo ab koī gila hai ki nahīñ
chup to ho jaate haiñ lekin 'bāqī'
is meñ bhī apnā bhalā hai ki nahīñ
waqt raste mein khaDa hai ki nahin
dil se ab puchh KHuda hai ki nahin
sohbat-e-shisha-garan hai inkar
sang aaina bana hai ki nahin
har kiran waqt-e-sahar kahti hai
rauzan-e-dil koi wa hai ki nahin
rang har baat mein bharne walo
qissa kuchh aage baDha hai ki nahin
zindagi jurm bani jati hai
jurm ki koi saza hai ki nahin
dost har aib chhupa lete hain
koi dushman bhi tera hai ki nahin
zaKHm-e-dil manzil-e-jaan tak aae
sang-e-rah sath chala hai ki nahin
kho gae rah ke sannaTe mein
ab koi dil ki sada hai ki nahin
hum tarasne lage bu-e-gul ko
kahin gulshan mein saba hai ki nahin
hukm-e-hakim hai ki KHamosh raho
bolo ab koi gila hai ki nahin
chup to ho jate hain lekin 'baqi'
is mein bhi apna bhala hai ki nahin
