ab hum charagh ban ke sar-e-rah jal uThe
ab ham charāġh ban ke sar-e-rāh jal uThe
dekheñ to kis tarah se bhaTakte haiñ qāfile
jo muntazir the baat ke muñh dekhte rahe
ḳhāmosh rah ke ham to baḌī baat kah ga.e
kab manziloñ ne chūme qadam un ke hamdamo
har raah roke saath jo rah-gīr chal paḌe
jaane zabāñ kī baat thī yā rañg ruup kī
ham aap apne shahr meñ jo ajnabī rahe
vo log ḳhush-nasīb the apnī nigāh meñ
jo har kisī ke shauq kī ḳhud dāstāñ bane
ma.alūm jin kā nām-o-nishāñ bhī nahīñ hameñ
ham un kā shahr shahr pata pūchhte phire
kahne ko ik jahāñ se ulajhte rahe magar
ai dard apne saa.e se Dar Dar ke ham jiye
ab hum charagh ban ke sar-e-rah jal uThe
dekhen to kis tarah se bhaTakte hain qafile
jo muntazir the baat ke munh dekhte rahe
KHamosh rah ke hum to baDi baat kah gae
kab manzilon ne chume qadam un ke hamdamo
har rah roke sath jo rah-gir chal paDe
jaane zaban ki baat thi ya rang rup ki
hum aap apne shahr mein jo ajnabi rahe
wo log KHush-nasib the apni nigah mein
jo har kisi ke shauq ki KHud dastan bane
malum jin ka nam-o-nishan bhi nahin hamein
hum un ka shahr shahr pata puchhte phire
kahne ko ek jahan se ulajhte rahe magar
ai dard apne sae se Dar Dar ke hum jiye
