behtar ki gunjaish baqi rah jati hai
behtar kī gunjā.ish baaqī rah jaatī hai
kamī kahīñ poshīda koī rah jaatī hai
man-chāhī tasvīr banāne meñ mujh se
hunar-varī meñ kuchh kotāhī rah jaatī hai
sailāb aa jaane par us bastī kī
saarī puḳhta-kārī kachchī rah jaatī hai
banñe vaalī baat vahī hotī hai vo jo
bante bante yaksar bantī rah jaatī hai
rah jaatī hai aate aate aatī saa.at
honī hote hote hotī rah jaatī hai
vaqt guzar jaatā hai lekin dil kī ranjish
dil meñ baiThī kī baiThī hī rah jaatī hai
chalte rah jaate haiñ roz o shab ke dhande
gañgā ulTī sīdhī bahtī rah jaatī hai
phāñk liye jaane ko ḳhaak masāfat kī
rāhoñ par hī chhānī-phaTkī rah jaatī hai
aa jaatī hai birhā aur dulhniyāñ chhat par
apne giile baal sukhātī rah jaatī hai
behtar ki gunjaish baqi rah jati hai
kami kahin poshida koi rah jati hai
man-chahi taswir banane mein mujh se
hunar-wari mein kuchh kotahi rah jati hai
sailab aa jaane par us basti ki
sari puKHta-kari kachchi rah jati hai
banne wali baat wahi hoti hai wo jo
bante bante yaksar banti rah jati hai
rah jati hai aate aate aati saat
honi hote hote hoti rah jati hai
waqt guzar jata hai lekin dil ki ranjish
dil mein baiThi ki baiThi hi rah jati hai
chalte rah jate hain roz o shab ke dhande
ganga ulTi sidhi bahti rah jati hai
phank liye jaane ko KHak masafat ki
rahon par hi chhani-phaTki rah jati hai
aa jati hai birha aur dulhniyan chhat par
apne gile baal sukhati rah jati hai
