dekheñ qarīb se bhī to achchhā dikhā.ī de

ik aadmī to shahr meñ aisā dikhā.ī de

dekhen qarib se bhi to achchha dikhai de

ek aadmi to shahr mein aisa dikhai de

apne atvār meñ kitnā baḌā shātir hogā

zindagī tujh se kabhī jis ne shikāyat nahīñ kī

apne atwar mein kitna baDa shatir hoga

zindagi tujh se kabhi jis ne shikayat nahin ki

chhat Tapaktī thī agarche phir bhī aa jaatī thī niind

maiñ na.e ghar meñ bahut royā purāne ke liye

chhat Tapakti thi agarche phir bhi aa jati thi nind

main nae ghar mein bahut roya purane ke liye

merī ik chhoTī sī koshish tujh ko paane ke liye

ban ga.ī hai mas.ala saare zamāne ke liye

meri ek chhoTi si koshish tujh ko pane ke liye

ban gai hai masala sare zamane ke liye

kitnī āsānī se mash.hūr kiyā hai ḳhud ko

maiñ ne apne se baḌe shaḳhs ko gaalī de kar

kitni aasani se mashhur kiya hai KHud ko

main ne apne se baDe shaKHs ko gali de kar

man sahrā hai pyaas kā tan zaḳhmoñ kī sej

saarī dhartī karbalā maulā paanī bhej

man sahra hai pyas ka tan zaKHmon ki sej

sari dharti karbala maula pani bhej

bhūkī bheḌ hai jism meñ bas siipī bhar ḳhuun

charvāhe ko duudh de yā tājir ko uun

bhuki bheD hai jism mein bas sipi bhar KHun

charwahe ko dudh de ya tajir ko un

parbat ho to pheñk duuñ kisī tarah ai jaan

kyā chhātī pe hai dharā ḳhud maiñ hī anjān

parbat ho to phenk dun kisi tarah ai jaan

kya chhati pe hai dhara KHud main hi anjaan

kaun yahāñ jo haath meñ saarā yug le thaam

ek sirā jo chhū sake bahut baḌā ye kaam

kaun yahan jo hath mein sara yug le tham

ek sira jo chhu sake bahut baDa ye kaam

sakhī-rī jab ye Thaan lī jaanā hai sājan dvaar

kyā sāñsoñ kī beḌiyāñ kyā tan kī talvār

sakhi-ri jab ye Than li jaana hai sajan dwar

kya sanson ki beDiyan kya tan ki talwar
