na ibtida ki KHabar hai na intiha malum
na ibtidā kī ḳhabar hai na intihā ma.alūm
rahā ye vahm ki ham haiñ so vo bhī kyā ma.alūm
duā to ḳhair duā se umīd-e-ḳhair bhī hai
ye mudda.ā hai to anjām-e-mudda.ā ma.alūm
huā na rāz-e-razā faash vo to ye kahiye
mire nasīb meñ thī varna sa.ī-e-nā-ma.alūm
mirī vafā ke sivā ġhāyat-e-jafā kyuuñ ho
tirī jafā ke sivā hāsil-e-vafā ma.alūm
kuchh un ke rahm pe thī yuuñ hī zindagī mauqūf
ki un ko rāz-e-mohabbat bhī ho gayā ma.alūm
tire ḳhayāl ke asrār be-ḳhudī meñ khule
hamīñ chhupā na sake varna dil ko kyā ma.alūm
fareb-e-amn meñ kuchh maslahat to hai varna
sukūn-e-kashtī o taufīq-e-nā-ḳhudā ma.alūm
vo iltifāt ki thā us kī intihā bhī hai
ḳhudā kī maar ki dil ko yahī na thā ma.alūm
ye zindagī kī hai rūdād-e-muḳhtasar 'fānī'
vajūd-e-dard musallam ilaaj nā-mālūm
na ibtida ki KHabar hai na intiha malum
raha ye wahm ki hum hain so wo bhi kya malum
dua to KHair dua se umid-e-KHair bhi hai
ye muddaa hai to anjam-e-muddaa malum
hua na raaz-e-raza fash wo to ye kahiye
mere nasib mein thi warna sai-e-na-malum
meri wafa ke siwa ghayat-e-jafa kyun ho
teri jafa ke siwa hasil-e-wafa malum
kuchh un ke rahm pe thi yun hi zindagi mauquf
ki un ko raaz-e-mohabbat bhi ho gaya malum
tere KHayal ke asrar be-KHudi mein khule
hamin chhupa na sake warna dil ko kya malum
fareb-e-amn mein kuchh maslahat to hai warna
sukun-e-kashti o taufiq-e-na-KHuda malum
wo iltifat ki tha us ki intiha bhi hai
KHuda ki mar ki dil ko yahi na tha malum
ye zindagi ki hai rudad-e-muKHtasar 'fani'
wajud-e-dard musallam ilaj na-malum
