bazm-e-takallufat sajaane mein rah gaya
bazm-e-takallufāt sajāne meñ rah gayā
maiñ zindagī ke naaz uThāne meñ rah gayā
tāsīr ke liye jahāñ tahrīf kī ga.ī
ik jhol bas vahīñ pe fasāne meñ rah gayā
sab mujh pe mohr-e-jurm lagāte chale ga.e
maiñ sab ko apne zaḳhm dikhāne meñ rah gayā
ḳhud hādsa bhī maut pe us kī thā dam-ba-ḳhud
vo dūsroñ kī jaan bachāne meñ rah gayā
ab ahl-e-kārvāñ pe lagātā hai tohmateñ
vo ham-safar jo hiile bahāne meñ rah gayā
maidān-e-kār-zār meñ aa.e vo qaum kyā
jis kā javān ā.īna-ḳhāne meñ rah gayā
vo vaqt kā jahāz thā kartā lihāz kyā
maiñ dostoñ se haath milāne meñ rah gayā
suntā nahīñ hai muft jahāñ baat bhī koī
maiñ ḳhālī haath aise zamāne meñ rah gayā
bāzār-e-zindagī se qazā le ga.ī mujhe
ye daur mere daam lagāne meñ rah gayā
ye bhī hai ek kār-e-numāyāñ 'hafīz' kā
kyā sāda-lauh kaise zamāne meñ rah gayā
bazm-e-takallufat sajaane mein rah gaya
main zindagi ke naz uThane mein rah gaya
tasir ke liye jahan tahrif ki gai
ek jhol bas wahin pe fasane mein rah gaya
sab mujh pe mohr-e-jurm lagate chale gae
main sab ko apne zaKHm dikhane mein rah gaya
KHud hadsa bhi maut pe us ki tha dam-ba-KHud
wo dusron ki jaan bachane mein rah gaya
ab ahl-e-karwan pe lagata hai tohmaten
wo ham-safar jo hile bahane mein rah gaya
maidan-e-kar-zar mein aae wo qaum kya
jis ka jawan aaina-KHane mein rah gaya
wo waqt ka jahaz tha karta lihaz kya
main doston se hath milane mein rah gaya
sunta nahin hai muft jahan baat bhi koi
main KHali hath aise zamane mein rah gaya
bazar-e-zindagi se qaza le gai mujhe
ye daur mere dam lagane mein rah gaya
ye bhi hai ek kar-e-numayan 'hafiz' ka
kya sada-lauh kaise zamane mein rah gaya
