arzi di to nikli dhup

arzī dī to niklī dhuup

kohre ne Dhak lī thī dhuup

do qadmoñ par manzil thī

zoroñ se phir barsī dhuup

būḌhī ammā buntī thī

garm sweater jaisī dhuup

dhuup meñ tarse saa.e ko

saa.e meñ shab aa.ī dhuup

bhūkī nañgī bastī ne

khaa.ī jūThan pahnī dhuup

phungī par aa baiThī dekh

kitnī shātir niklī dhuup

saa.e meñ hī rahte ho

dekhī bhī hai tīkhī dhuup

ġhurbat ke chūlhe pe hai

fāqoñ keī phīkī sī dhuup

ġhazloñ ke charḳhe pe nit

ehsāshoñ keī kaatī dhuup

Dhaltī shaam ne dekhī hai

lāThī le kar chaltī dhuup

chaa.e ke cup meñ ublī

aḳhbāroñ keī surḳhī dhuup

jīvan kyā hai bol 'ḳhayāl'

khaTTī mīThī tīkhī dhuup

arzi di to nikli dhup

kohre ne Dhak li thi dhup

do qadmon par manzil thi

zoron se phir barsi dhup

buDhi amma bunti thi

garm sweater jaisi dhup

dhup mein tarse sae ko

sae mein shab aai dhup

bhuki nangi basti ne

khai juThan pahni dhup

phungi par aa baiThi dekh

kitni shatir nikli dhup

sae mein hi rahte ho

dekhi bhi hai tikhi dhup

ghurbat ke chulhe pe hai

faqon kei phiki si dhup

ghazlon ke charKHe pe nit

ehsashon kei kati dhup

Dhalti sham ne dekhi hai

laThi le kar chalti dhup

chae ke cup mein ubli

aKHbaron kei surKHi dhup

jiwan kya hai bol 'KHayal'

khaTTi miThi tikhi dhup
