har dam dua-e-ab-o-hawa mangte rahe
har dam duā-e-āb-o-havā māñgte rahe
nañge daraḳht sabz qabā māñgte rahe
yāroñ kā e'tiqād bhī andhā thā is qadar
gūñgī rivāyatoñ se sadā māñgte rahe
kitnī ajiib baat thī jab sard raat se
ham dopahar kī garm havā māñgte rahe
karte rahe jo din ke ujāloñ se ehtirāz
vo bhī añdherī shab meñ ziyā māñgte rahe
kuchh log aise bhī the jo lamhāt-e-karb se
āsūda sā.atoñ kā pata māñgte rahe
har dam dua-e-ab-o-hawa mangte rahe
nange daraKHt sabz qaba mangte rahe
yaron ka e'tiqad bhi andha tha is qadar
gungi riwayaton se sada mangte rahe
kitni ajib baat thi jab sard raat se
hum dopahar ki garm hawa mangte rahe
karte rahe jo din ke ujalon se ehtiraaz
wo bhi andheri shab mein ziya mangte rahe
kuchh log aise bhi the jo lamhat-e-karb se
aasuda saaton ka pata mangte rahe
