KHuda ki kaun si hai rah behtar jaanta hai
ḳhudā kī kaun sī hai raah behtar jāntā hai
maza hai nekiyoñ meñ kyā qalandar jāntā hai
bahut hamdard haiñ mere magar anjān haiñ sab
mire zaḳhmoñ kī hālat ko rafūgar jāntā hai
kisī se maiñ nahīñ kahtā magar merī ġharībī
mirī dīvāroñ kā ukhḌā plastar jāntā hai
kabhī mandir kabhī masjid pe hai is kā baserā
dharam insāniyat kā bas kabūtar jāntā hai
sanam terī judā.ī meñ kaTā hai vaqt mushkil
gine din hijr meñ kitne calendar jāntā hai
kahīñ bhar peT roTī to kahīñ se haath ḳhālī
kisī kī kaisī hai niyyat gadāgar jāntā hai
maiñ pyāsā rah ke bhī minnat nahīñ kartā kisī kī
bahut ḳhuddār huuñ maiñ ye samundar jāntā hai
kisī bhī vaqt ye mazlūm kar deñge baġhāvat
sitam kī ho chukī hai had sitamgar jāntā hai
raheñ arthī se bāhar haath us kā qaul hai ye
na kuchh bhī saath jā.egā sikandar jāntā hai
tumhārī yaad meñ rāteñ kaTī haiñ mushkiloñ se
rahā huuñ kitnā maiñ bechain bistar jāntā hai
na hogā dūsrā paidā jahāñ meñ koī gāñdhī
bahut achchhī tarah se porbandar jāntā hai
yahāñ hai bhiiḌ meñ bhī kis qadar har shaḳhs tanhā
tumhāre shahr kā har ek manzar jāntā hai
'ahad' jiine ko to sab jī rahe haiñ is jahāñ meñ
magar is ziist kā matlab suḳhanvar jāntā hai
KHuda ki kaun si hai rah behtar jaanta hai
maza hai nekiyon mein kya qalandar jaanta hai
bahut hamdard hain mere magar anjaan hain sab
mere zaKHmon ki haalat ko rafugar jaanta hai
kisi se main nahin kahta magar meri gharibi
meri diwaron ka ukhDa plastar jaanta hai
kabhi mandir kabhi masjid pe hai is ka basera
dharam insaniyat ka bas kabutar jaanta hai
sanam teri judai mein kaTa hai waqt mushkil
gine din hijr mein kitne calendar jaanta hai
kahin bhar peT roTi to kahin se hath KHali
kisi ki kaisi hai niyyat gadagar jaanta hai
main pyasa rah ke bhi minnat nahin karta kisi ki
bahut KHuddar hun main ye samundar jaanta hai
kisi bhi waqt ye mazlum kar denge baghawat
sitam ki ho chuki hai had sitamgar jaanta hai
rahen arthi se bahar hath us ka qaul hai ye
na kuchh bhi sath jaega sikandar jaanta hai
tumhaari yaad mein raaten kaTi hain mushkilon se
raha hun kitna main bechain bistar jaanta hai
na hoga dusra paida jahan mein koi gandhi
bahut achchhi tarah se porbandar jaanta hai
yahan hai bhiD mein bhi kis qadar har shaKHs tanha
tumhaare shahr ka har ek manzar jaanta hai
'ahad' jine ko to sab ji rahe hain is jahan mein
magar is zist ka matlab suKHanwar jaanta hai
