band aankhon mein sara tamasha dekh raha tha
band āñkhoñ meñ saarā tamāsha dekh rahā thā
rasta rasta merā rasta dekh rahā thā
kaalī raat aur kaale taare kaalā chandā
dhartī kā nā-bīnā laḌkā dekh rahā thā
TūTī-phūTī qabreñ dhuñdle dhuñdle katbe
har katbe meñ apnā chehra dekh rahā thā
miTTī dene vaale hāthoñ ko ye ḳhabar kyā
kis hasrat se zarra zarra dekh rahā thā
rag rag fart-e-dahshat se sūkhī jaatī thī
parchhā.īñ se ḳhuun ubaltā dekh rahā thā
sūkhe pattoñ par jaltī shabnam ke qatre
ThanDā sūraj sahmā sahmā dekh rahā thā
chupke se haijān uThā kar pyāsā qatra
tuġhyānī par aa.ī nadiyā dekh rahā thā
ehsāsāt kī TūTtī sarhad par maiñ 'ḳhusrav'
ḳhvāb se aage bhī jo kuchh thā dekh rahā thā
band aankhon mein sara tamasha dekh raha tha
rasta rasta mera rasta dekh raha tha
kali raat aur kale tare kala chanda
dharti ka na-bina laDka dekh raha tha
TuTi-phuTi qabren dhundle dhundle katbe
har katbe mein apna chehra dekh raha tha
miTTi dene wale hathon ko ye KHabar kya
kis hasrat se zarra zarra dekh raha tha
rag rag fart-e-dahshat se sukhi jati thi
parchhain se KHun ubalta dekh raha tha
sukhe patton par jalti shabnam ke qatre
ThanDa suraj sahma sahma dekh raha tha
chupke se haijaan uTha kar pyasa qatra
tughyani par aai nadiya dekh raha tha
ehsasat ki TuTti sarhad par main 'KHusraw'
KHwab se aage bhi jo kuchh tha dekh raha tha
