aankh ki putli mein suraj sar mein kuchh sauda uga

aañkh kī putlī meñ sūraj sar meñ kuchh saudā ugā

pāniyoñ meñ surḳh paude dhuup meñ saayā ugā

āsmāñ kī bhiiḌ meñ to is liye sochā gayā

is zamīñ kī chhātiyoñ se nuur kā chashma ugā

niiñd meñ chalne kī aadat ḳhvāb meñ likhne kā fan

ek jaisī baat hai to ātish-e-naġhma ugā

maiñ ne apnī donoñ āñkhoñ meñ ugaa.e haiñ pahāḌ

terī āñkhoñ meñ samundar thā vahāñ sahrā ugā

sabza-e-begāna ban kar jī liyā to kyā jiyā

ḳhud ko bo kar is zamīñ se ik nayā chehrā ugā

dhuup jaise qahqahe haiñ ret jaisī baat hai

tū agar ġhavvās hai to ret meñ dariyā ugā

ye zamīñ būḌhī hai us ko piiTh se apnī utaar

āsmāñ ko jeb meñ rakh le na.ī duniyā kā ugā

ham to ḳhud iz.hār haiñ apne zamāne kā 'matīn'

bujh ga.e āvāz ke sho.ale nayā lahja ugā

aankh ki putli mein suraj sar mein kuchh sauda uga

paniyon mein surKH paude dhup mein saya uga

aasman ki bhiD mein to is liye socha gaya

is zamin ki chhatiyon se nur ka chashma uga

nind mein chalne ki aadat KHwab mein likhne ka fan

ek jaisi baat hai to aatish-e-naghma uga

main ne apni donon aankhon mein ugae hain pahaD

teri aankhon mein samundar tha wahan sahra uga

sabza-e-begana ban kar ji liya to kya jiya

KHud ko bo kar is zamin se ek naya chehra uga

dhup jaise qahqahe hain ret jaisi baat hai

tu agar ghawwas hai to ret mein dariya uga

ye zamin buDhi hai us ko piTh se apni utar

aasman ko jeb mein rakh le nai duniya ka uga

hum to KHud izhaar hain apne zamane ka 'matin'

bujh gae aawaz ke shoale naya lahja uga
