ab kaun si mata-e-safar dil ke pas hai
ek raushani-e-subh thi wo bhi udas hai
Aziz Tamannai
ai mauj-e-KHush-KHiram zara tez tez chal
banti hai sath-e-ab kinara kabhi kabhi
Aziz Tamannai
aqi abhi qafas mein hai ahl-e-qafas ki yaad
bikhre paDe hain baal kahin aur par kahin
Aziz Tamannai
dahr mein ek tere siwa kya hai
tu nahin hai to phir bhala kya hai
Aziz Tamannai
ek sannaTa tha aawaz na thi aur na jawab
dil mein itne the sawalat ki hum so na sake
Aziz Tamannai
hum ne jo 'tamannai' bayaban-e-talab mein
ek umr guzari hai to do-chaar baras au
Aziz Tamannai
hamin ne zist ke har rup ko sanwara hai
luTa ke raushani-e-taba jalwa-gahon mein
Aziz Tamannai
hazar bar aazma chuka hai magar abhi aazma raha hai
abhi zamane ko aadmi ka nahin hai kuchh e'tibar shayad
Aziz Tamannai
jis ko chalna hai chale raKHt-e-safar bandhe hue
hum jahan-gasht hain uTThe hain kamar bandhe hue
Aziz Tamannai
