aaj tak daman na bhiga tha bhigona paD gaya

aaj tak dāman na bhīgā thā bhigonā paḌ gayā

kis ne kis kā saath chhoḌā hai ki ronā paḌ gayā

dard kā har ek ke ehsās kāñTā hī sahī

ye vo kāñTā hai jise dil meñ chubhonā paḌ gayā

haath jab aa.ī nahīñ manzil to jī ghabrā uThā

aur kuchh bhaTke huoñ ke saath honā paḌ gayā

raushnī kuchh yuuñ ghuTTī tanhā.ī kuchh aisī baḌhī

apne saa.e ko bhī tārīkī meñ ronā paḌ gayā

sahte sahte ġham pe ġham aadī ġhamoñ ke ho ga.e

karvaToñ par karvaTeñ badlīñ to sonā paḌ gayā

sunte the 'mahshar' kabhī patthar bhī ho jaatā hai mom

aaj vo aa.e to palkoñ ko bhigonā paḌ gayā

aaj tak daman na bhiga tha bhigona paD gaya

kis ne kis ka sath chhoDa hai ki rona paD gaya

dard ka har ek ke ehsas kanTa hi sahi

ye wo kanTa hai jise dil mein chubhona paD gaya

hath jab aai nahin manzil to ji ghabra uTha

aur kuchh bhaTke huon ke sath hona paD gaya

raushni kuchh yun ghuTTi tanhai kuchh aisi baDhi

apne sae ko bhi tariki mein rona paD gaya

sahte sahte gham pe gham aadi ghamon ke ho gae

karwaTon par karwaTen badlin to sona paD gaya

sunte the 'mahshar' kabhi patthar bhi ho jata hai mom

aaj wo aae to palkon ko bhigona paD gaya
