silsila KHatm hua jalne jalane wala
silsila ḳhatm huā jalne jalāne vaalā
ab koī ḳhvāb nahīñ niiñd uḌāne vaalā
ye vo sahrā hai sujhā.e na agar tū rasta
ḳhaak ho jaa.e yahāñ ḳhaak uḌāne vaalā
kyā kare aañkh jo pathrāne kī ḳhvāhish na kare
ḳhvāb ho jaa.e agar ḳhvāb dikhāne vaalā
yaad aatā hai ki maiñ ḳhud se yahīñ bichhḌā thā
yahī rasta hai tire shahr ko jaane vaalā
ai havā us se ye kahnā ki salāmat hai abhī
tere phūloñ ko kitāboñ meñ chhupāne vaalā
zindagī apnī añdheroñ meñ basar kartā hai
tere āñchal ko sitāroñ se sajāne vaalā
sabhī apne nazar aate haiñ ba-zāhir lekin
rūThne vaalā hai koī na manāne vaalā
le ga.iiñ duur bahut duur havā.eñ jis ko
vahī bādal thā mirī pyaas bujhāne vaalā
silsila KHatm hua jalne jalane wala
ab koi KHwab nahin nind uDane wala
ye wo sahra hai sujhae na agar tu rasta
KHak ho jae yahan KHak uDane wala
kya kare aankh jo pathrane ki KHwahish na kare
KHwab ho jae agar KHwab dikhane wala
yaad aata hai ki main KHud se yahin bichhDa tha
yahi rasta hai tere shahr ko jaane wala
ai hawa us se ye kahna ki salamat hai abhi
tere phulon ko kitabon mein chhupane wala
zindagi apni andheron mein basar karta hai
tere aanchal ko sitaron se sajaane wala
sabhi apne nazar aate hain ba-zahir lekin
ruThne wala hai koi na manane wala
le gain dur bahut dur hawaen jis ko
wahi baadal tha meri pyas bujhane wala
