ai maut! unhe.N bhulaaye zamaane guzar gaye

aa jaa ki zahar khaaye zamaane guzar gaye

O jaane vaale aa ki tere intazaar mei.N

raste ko ghar banaaye zamaane guzar gaye

Gham hai na ab Khushii hai na ummiid hai na aas

sab se najaat paaye zamaane guzar gaye

kyaa laayaq-e-sitam bhii nahii ab mai.N dosto.N

patthar bhii ghar mei.N aaye zamaane guzar gaye

jaane bahaar phuul nahii.N aadmii huu.N mai.N

aa jaa ki muskuraaye zamaane guzar gaye

kyaa kyaa tavaqqo_at thii aaho.N se ai 'Khumar'

ye tiir bhii chalaaye zamaane guzar gaye
