bahut hain roz-e-sawab-o-gunah dekhne ko
bahut haiñ roz-e-savāb-o-gunāh dekhne ko
ki ham haiñ zindagi-e-be-panāh dekhne ko
banegī ab nazar inkār so ruke haiñ sabhī
ḳhud apnī aañkh se apnī nigāh dekhne ko
mirī navā ko jo pākīzgī atā kar de
taras rahā huuñ vo māsūm chaah dekhne ko
maiñ sañg-e-rāh nahīñ dil ke is do-rāhe par
khaḌā huā huuñ faqat apnī raah dekhne ko
milā diyā hameñ apnoñ se shukriya ai vaqt
yahī mile the hameñ yuuñ tabāh dekhne ko
tunuk-mizāj haiñ ham yuuñ na roz roz milo
bahut hai aao agar gaah gaah dekhne ko
jo mere baare meñ mujh se bhī mo'tabar hai koī
maiñ jī rahā huuñ tirā vo gavāh dekhne ko
sun ai hamāre siyāh o safed ke mālik
ham aa.e haiñ vo safed o siyāh dekhne ko
tum aañkh tak nahīñ malte machā ho jab kohrām
tum aañkh kholte ho sirf vaah dekhne ko
vo chup to yuuñ hai ki āgāh jin ko karnā thā
jiye na lamha-e-yak-intibāh dekhne ko
ye kis kī aah lagī ghar nahīñ koī miltā
har ik makān hai ḳhud sab kī raah dekhne ko
khulā ki dīda-e-ibrat nigāh koī na thā
uThī thī yuuñ to har ik kī nigāh dekhne ko
jo sab kī jaan kā janjāl ye nibāh hai 'talḳh'
maiñ sab ke saath huuñ bas vo nibāh dekhne ko
bahut hain roz-e-sawab-o-gunah dekhne ko
ki hum hain zindagi-e-be-panah dekhne ko
banegi ab nazar inkar so ruke hain sabhi
KHud apni aankh se apni nigah dekhne ko
meri nawa ko jo pakizgi ata kar de
taras raha hun wo masum chah dekhne ko
main sang-e-rah nahin dil ke is do-rahe par
khaDa hua hun faqat apni rah dekhne ko
mila diya hamein apnon se shukriya ai waqt
yahi mile the hamein yun tabah dekhne ko
tunuk-mizaj hain hum yun na roz roz milo
bahut hai aao agar gah gah dekhne ko
jo mere bare mein mujh se bhi mo'tabar hai koi
main ji raha hun tera wo gawah dekhne ko
sun ai hamare siyah o safed ke malik
hum aae hain wo safed o siyah dekhne ko
tum aankh tak nahin malte macha ho jab kohram
tum aankh kholte ho sirf wah dekhne ko
wo chup to yun hai ki aagah jin ko karna tha
jiye na lamha-e-yak-intibah dekhne ko
ye kis ki aah lagi ghar nahin koi milta
har ek makan hai KHud sab ki rah dekhne ko
khula ki dida-e-ibrat nigah koi na tha
uThi thi yun to har ek ki nigah dekhne ko
jo sab ki jaan ka janjal ye nibah hai 'talKH'
main sab ke sath hun bas wo nibah dekhne ko
