apne andar se jo bahar nikle
apne andar se jo bāhar nikle
ḳhud-numā.ī kā samundar nikle
ab sazā.eñ hī muqaddar Thahrīñ
tāziyānoñ ke sanā-gar nikle
aise bhī log haiñ is shahr meñ jo
dhuup meñ barf pahan kar nikle
fāḳhtāoñ kā tamasḳhur tauba
chiyūñTiyoñ ke bhī ajab par nikle
haath jab qabza-e-shamshīr pe ho
kyuuñ na maqtal meñ dilāvar nikle
khīñch do daar pe dil-dāroñ ko
shahryāroñ kā zarā Dar nikle
jis bhī dīvār meñ dar kartā huuñ
vahī dīvār pas-e-dar nikle
kashtiyāñ chhoḌ ke dariyāoñ meñ
regzāroñ se shanāvar nikle
āñdhiyoñ meñ bhī khaḌe haiñ ab tak
ham daraḳhtoñ se qad-āvar nikle
bhiik us shahr meñ ham kyā māñgeñ
jis ke hātim bhī gadāgar nikle
paañv meñ bāñdh ke ghuñghrū 'mohsin'!
chand qabroñ ke mujāvir nikle
apne andar se jo bahar nikle
KHud-numai ka samundar nikle
ab sazaen hi muqaddar Thahrin
taziyanon ke sana-gar nikle
aise bhi log hain is shahr mein jo
dhup mein barf pahan kar nikle
faKHtaon ka tamasKHur tauba
chiyunTiyon ke bhi ajab par nikle
hath jab qabza-e-shamshir pe ho
kyun na maqtal mein dilawar nikle
khinch do dar pe dil-daron ko
shahryaron ka zara Dar nikle
jis bhi diwar mein dar karta hun
wahi diwar pas-e-dar nikle
kashtiyan chhoD ke dariyaon mein
regzaron se shanawar nikle
aandhiyon mein bhi khaDe hain ab tak
hum daraKHton se qad-awar nikle
bhik us shahr mein hum kya mangen
jis ke hatim bhi gadagar nikle
panw mein bandh ke ghunghru 'mohsin'!
chand qabron ke mujawir nikle
