yar se chhuTe zamana ho gaya

yaar se chhūTe zamāna ho gayā

ab to har 'ālam fasāna ho gayā

ham sukūñ ke naam se vāqif nahīñ

muddateñ guzrīñ zamāna ho gayā

lafz-e-uf lab par merī naala rahā

lab pe bulbul ke tarāna ho gayā

ab nahīñ siine meñ koī dāġh-e-'ishq

gul merā fānūs-e-ḳhāna ho gayā

āfrīñ ai shiddat-e-dard-e-jigar

un se milne kā bahāna ho gayā

kyā use kahte haiñ e’jāz-e-bayāñ

lafz jo niklā fasāna ho gayā

hai yahī 'bahzād' me'arāj-e-hayāt

ek begāna yagāna ho gayā

yar se chhuTe zamana ho gaya

ab to har 'alam fasana ho gaya

hum sukun ke nam se waqif nahin

muddaten guzrin zamana ho gaya

lafz-e-uf lab par meri nala raha

lab pe bulbul ke tarana ho gaya

ab nahin sine mein koi dagh-e-'ishq

gul mera fanus-e-KHana ho gaya

aafrin ai shiddat-e-dard-e-jigar

un se milne ka bahana ho gaya

kya use kahte hain e’jaz-e-bayan

lafz jo nikla fasana ho gaya

hai yahi 'bahzad' me'araj-e-hayat

ek begana yagana ho gaya
