bahut arsa gunahgaron mein paighambar nahin rahte
bahut arsa gunahgāroñ meñ paiġhambar nahīñ rahte
ki sañg-o-ḳhisht kī bastī meñ shīshagar nahīñ rahte
adhūrī har kahānī hai yahāñ zauq-e-tamāshā kī
kabhī nazreñ nahīñ rahtīñ kabhī manzar nahīñ rahte
bahut mahñgī paḌegī pāsbānī tum ko ġhairat kī
jo dastāreñ bachā lete haiñ un ke sar nahīñ rahte
mujhe nādim kiyā kal raat darvāze ne ye kah kar
sharīf insān ghar se der tak bāhar nahīñ rahte
ḳhud-āgāhī kī manzil umr-bhar un ko nahīñ miltī
jo kūcha-gard apnī zaat ke andar nahīñ rahte
paTaḳh detā hai sāhil par samundar murda jismoñ ko
ziyāda der tak andar ke khoT andar nahīñ rahte
bajā hai zo.am sūraj ko bhī naaz apnī tamāzat par
hamāre shahr meñ bhī mom ke paikar nahīñ rahte
bahut arsa gunahgaron mein paighambar nahin rahte
ki sang-o-KHisht ki basti mein shishagar nahin rahte
adhuri har kahani hai yahan zauq-e-tamasha ki
kabhi nazren nahin rahtin kabhi manzar nahin rahte
bahut mahngi paDegi pasbani tum ko ghairat ki
jo dastaren bacha lete hain un ke sar nahin rahte
mujhe nadim kiya kal raat darwaze ne ye kah kar
sharif insan ghar se der tak bahar nahin rahte
KHud-agahi ki manzil umr-bhar un ko nahin milti
jo kucha-gard apni zat ke andar nahin rahte
paTaKH deta hai sahil par samundar murda jismon ko
ziyaada der tak andar ke khoT andar nahin rahte
baja hai zoam suraj ko bhi naz apni tamazat par
hamare shahr mein bhi mom ke paikar nahin rahte
