har ek gam pe ranj-e-safar uThate hue

har ek gaam pe ranj-e-safar uThāte hue

maiñ aa paḌā huuñ yahāñ tujh se duur jaate hue

ajiib aag thī jis ne mujhe faroġh diyā

ik intizār meñ rakkhe diye jalāte hue

tavīl raat se hotā hai barsar-e-paikār

so chaak tez huā hai mujhe banāte hue

ye tez-gāmi-e-sahrā alag mizāj kī hai

jo mujh se bhaag rahī hai qarīb aate hue

hai ek shor-e-guzishta mire ta.āqub meñ

maiñ sun rahā huuñ jise apne paar aate hue

sharīk-e-ātish o āb-o-havā o ḳhaak rahe

mire anāsir-e-tartīb shakl paate hue

bahut qarīb se guzrī hai vo navā-e-safed

mire havās kā niilā dhuāñ uḌāte hue

maiñ imtizāj-e-qadīm-o-jadīd huuñ 'kāmī'

so ism-e-asr hī paḌhnā mujhe bulāte hue

har ek gam pe ranj-e-safar uThate hue

main aa paDa hun yahan tujh se dur jate hue

ajib aag thi jis ne mujhe farogh diya

ek intizar mein rakkhe diye jalate hue

tawil raat se hota hai barsar-e-paikar

so chaak tez hua hai mujhe banate hue

ye tez-gami-e-sahra alag mizaj ki hai

jo mujh se bhag rahi hai qarib aate hue

hai ek shor-e-guzishta mere taaqub mein

main sun raha hun jise apne par aate hue

sharik-e-atish o aab-o-hawa o KHak rahe

mere anasir-e-tartib shakl pate hue

bahut qarib se guzri hai wo nawa-e-safed

mere hawas ka nila dhuan uDate hue

main imtizaj-e-qadim-o-jadid hun 'kaami'

so ism-e-asr hi paDhna mujhe bulate hue
