ek qissa-e-tawil hai afsana dasht ka
ik qissa-e-tavīl hai afsāna dasht kā
āḳhir kahīñ to ḳhatm ho vīrāna dasht kā
mujh ko bhī ġharq bahr-e-tamāsha meñ kar diyā
ab had se baḌhtā jaatā hai dīvāna dasht kā
tāvīz-e-āb ke sivā chāra nahīñ koī
āseb-e-tishnagī se hai yārāna dasht kā
tū ne shikast khaa.ī mahāz-e-qayām par
ab sikka-e-safar meñ de harjāna dasht kā
hotā nahīñ jo ḳhālī kabhī jām-e-āftāb
din bhar hī garm rahtā hai mai-ḳhāna dasht kā
ab zulmatoñ kā ḳhauf nahīñ ḳhāk-e-shahr kī
raushan hai sham-e-reg se kāshāna dasht kā
ādāb-e-munsifī se maiñ vāqif nahīñ 'hasan'
shahr-e-ḳhatā meñ kartā huuñ jurmāna dasht kā
ek qissa-e-tawil hai afsana dasht ka
aaKHir kahin to KHatm ho virana dasht ka
mujh ko bhi gharq bahr-e-tamasha mein kar diya
ab had se baDhta jata hai diwana dasht ka
tawiz-e-ab ke siwa chaara nahin koi
aaseb-e-tishnagi se hai yarana dasht ka
tu ne shikast khai mahaz-e-qayam par
ab sikka-e-safar mein de harjaana dasht ka
hota nahin jo KHali kabhi jam-e-aftab
din bhar hi garm rahta hai mai-KHana dasht ka
ab zulmaton ka KHauf nahin KHak-e-shahr ki
raushan hai sham-e-reg se kashana dasht ka
aadab-e-munsifi se main waqif nahin 'hasan'
shahr-e-KHata mein karta hun jurmana dasht ka
