chaDhte dariya se bhi gar par utar jaoge
chaḌhte dariyā se bhī gar paar utar jāoge
paañv rakhte hī kināre pe bikhar jāoge
vaqt har moḌ pe dīvār khaḌī kar degā
vaqt kī qaid se ghabrā ke jidhar jāoge
ḳhāna-barbād samajh kar hameñ Dhaltī huī raat
tanz se pūchhtī hai kaun se ghar jāoge
sach kaho shaam kī āvāra havā ke jhoñko
us kī ḳhushbū ke ta'āqub meñ kidhar jāoge
aage baḌh jā.eñge phir donoñ hī chup chup yuuñ to
maiñ pukārūñgā tumheñ tum bhī Thahar jāoge
zabt-e-ehsās ke zindāñ se kahīñ bhaag chalo
aur kuchh der yahāñ Thahre to mar jāoge
naqsh-e-imroz se aage na nigāheñ dauḌāo
kal kī tasvīr jo dekhoge to Dar jāoge
maiñ bhī saaya huuñ siyah raat meñ kho jā.ūñgā
tum bhī ik ḳhvāb ho pal-bhar meñ bikhar jāoge
rāste shahr ke sab band hue haiñ tum par
ghar se nikloge to 'maḳhmūr' kidhar jāoge
chaDhte dariya se bhi gar par utar jaoge
panw rakhte hi kinare pe bikhar jaoge
waqt har moD pe diwar khaDi kar dega
waqt ki qaid se ghabra ke jidhar jaoge
KHana-barbaad samajh kar hamein Dhalti hui raat
tanz se puchhti hai kaun se ghar jaoge
sach kaho sham ki aawara hawa ke jhonko
us ki KHushbu ke ta'aqub mein kidhar jaoge
aage baDh jaenge phir donon hi chup chup yun to
main pukarunga tumhein tum bhi Thahar jaoge
zabt-e-ehsas ke zindan se kahin bhag chalo
aur kuchh der yahan Thahre to mar jaoge
naqsh-e-imroz se aage na nigahen dauDao
kal ki taswir jo dekhoge to Dar jaoge
main bhi saya hun siyah raat mein kho jaunga
tum bhi ek KHwab ho pal-bhar mein bikhar jaoge
raste shahr ke sab band hue hain tum par
ghar se nikloge to 'maKHmur' kidhar jaoge
