ऐ जान-ए-नग़्मा जहाँ सोगवार कब से है 

तिरे लिए ये ज़मीं बे-क़रार कब से है 

हुजूम-ए-शौक़ सर-ए-रहगुज़ार कब से है 

गुज़र भी जा कि तिरा इंतिज़ार कब से है 

न ताबनाकी-ए-रुख़ है न काकुलों का हुजूम 

है ज़र्रा ज़र्रा परेशाँ कली कली मग़्मूम 

है कुल जहाँ मुतअफ़्फ़िन हवाएँ सब मस्मूम 

गुज़र भी जा कि तिरा इंतिज़ार कब से है 

रुख़-ए-हयात पे काकुल की बरहमी ही नहीं 

निगार-ए-दहर में अंदाज़-ए-मरयामी ही नहीं 

मसीह ओ ख़िज़्र की कहने को कुछ कमी ही नहीं 

गुज़र भी जा कि तिरा इंतिज़ार कब से है 

हयात-बख़्श तराने असीर हैं कब से 

गुलू-ए-ज़ेहरा में पैवस्त तीर हैं कब से है 

क़फ़स में बंद तिरे हम-सफ़ीर हैं कब से 

गुज़र भी जा कि तिरा इंतिज़ार कब से है 

हरम के दोश पे उक़्बा का दाम है अब तक 

सरों में दीन का सौदा-ए-ख़ाम है अब तक 

तवहहुमात का आदम ग़ुलाम है अब तक 

गुज़र भी जा कि तिरा इंतिज़ार कब से है 

अभी दिमाग़ पे क़हबा-ए-सीम-ओ-ज़र है सवार 

अभी रुकी ही नहीं तेशा-ज़न के ख़ून की धार 

शमीम-ए-अदल से महकें ये कूचा ओ बाज़ार 

गुज़र भी जा कि तिरा इंतिज़ार कब से है

O Beloved! How Long Have You Been Absent?

O beloved! How long have you been absent?

For you, this earth has been restless since when?

The crowd of desires has been wandering aimlessly,

Pass by, for how long must we await you?

There is neither brilliance in the faces nor a gathering of flowers,

Every particle is troubled, and every bud is despondent.

The whole world is infected, the air is poisoned,

Pass by, for how long must we await you?

The radiance of life is not just in the nightingale's cry,

Nor is it merely the charm of the beloved in the era.

The words of Christ and Khizr are not lacking,

Pass by, for how long must we await you?

The songs of life have been captive for so long,

They have been attached to the vein of the rose's throat for so long.

We, your companions, are imprisoned in the cage,

Pass by, for how long must we await you?

The trap of the Hereafter is still on the back of the Sanctuary,

The profit of religion is still in the heads.

The human is still enslaved by delusions,

Pass by, for how long must we await you?

The scent of musk and gold is still riding on my brain,

The stream of the sword's blood has not yet stopped.

This street and market are fragrant with justice,

Pass by, for how long must we await you?
