aankhon mein kachchi nind ke sapne bikhar gae

āñkhoñ meñ kachchī niiñd ke sapne bikhar ga.e

shāḳhoñ pe phuul khilne se pahle bikhar ga.e

palkeñ bichhā.e raah meñ baiThe the hādse

achchhā huā safar ke irāde bikhar ga.e

ham ne bahut sañbhāl ke rakkhe the rāt-din

āñgan meñ maslahat ke taqāze bikhar ga.e

aisī havā chalī ki du'ā.eñ laraz ga.iiñ

pal meñ kitāb-e-zīst ke safhe bikhar ga.e

kab tak 'azīz rakhte mire bhaa.ī bhī mujhe

be-rozgārī meñ sabhī rishte bikhar ga.e

kab tak uThāte bojh buzurgoñ ke qarz kā

sūraj ko chhū ke phuul se bachche bikhar ga.e

aankhon mein kachchi nind ke sapne bikhar gae

shaKHon pe phul khilne se pahle bikhar gae

palken bichhae rah mein baiThe the hadse

achchha hua safar ke irade bikhar gae

hum ne bahut sanbhaal ke rakkhe the raat-din

aangan mein maslahat ke taqaze bikhar gae

aisi hawa chali ki du'aen laraz gain

pal mein kitab-e-zist ke safhe bikhar gae

kab tak 'aziz rakhte mere bhai bhi mujhe

be-rozgari mein sabhi rishte bikhar gae

kab tak uThate bojh buzurgon ke qarz ka

suraj ko chhu ke phul se bachche bikhar gae
