زمانے کے سب پیچ و خم جانتے ہیں

Zamane ke sab paich-o-kham jantay hain

Nahi jantay tum, jo hum jantay hain

Tumhein kya khabar, jo guzarti hai hum par

Jo hum par guzarti hai, hum jantay hain

Bandhay se, na hain be-khabar lutf-e-mai se

Yeh sab raaz shaikh-e-haram jantay hain

Na pehchanay mein to ik maslahat hai

Mera naam woh kam se kam jantay hain

Dein maikashi, laakh aghmaaz bartein

Hamein waaiz-e-muhtaram jantay hain

Mal mohabbat takraar kaisi

Tum jantay ho na hum jantay hain

Unhein mere achay buray ki khabar hai

Woh sab kuch Khuda ki qasam jantay hain

Haqeeqat to yeh hai, hum ahl-e-wafa ko

Bohat jaan kar bhi woh kam jantay hain

Ik ik saans hai saut-o-ahang-e-hasti

Hum is saaz ke zer-o-bam jantay hain

Tumharay ishaaray hain maloom hum ko

Tumharay taqazon ko hum jantay hain

Woh kitne hain masoom kitne hain zalim

Naseer! aap kya janein, hum jantay hain
