bahut lamba safar tapti sulagti KHwahishon ka tha
bahut lambā safar taptī sulagtī ḳhvāhishoñ kā thā
magar saayā hamāre sar pe guzrī sā.atoñ kā thā
saroñ pe haath apne ghar kī bosīda chhatoñ kā thā
magar mahfūz sā manzar hamāre āñganoñ kā thā
kisī bhī sīdhe raste kā safar miltā use kyūñ-kar
ki vo masdūd ḳhud apne banā.e dā.eroñ kā thā
kabhī hañste hue aañsū kabhī rotī huī ḳhushiyāñ
karishma jo bhī thā saarā hamārī hī hisoñ kā thā
ḳhud apnī kāvishoñ se ham ne apnī qismateñ likkhīñ
magar kuchh haath in meñ bhī hamāre dushmanoñ kā thā
na.e rishte muqaddas ḳhvāb se āvāz dete the
magar aaseb sā dil par guzishta rābtoñ kā thā
kise miltī najāt 'āzād' hastī ke masā.il se
ki har koī muqayyad āb-o-gil ke silsiloñ kā thā
bahut lamba safar tapti sulagti KHwahishon ka tha
magar saya hamare sar pe guzri saaton ka tha
saron pe hath apne ghar ki bosida chhaton ka tha
magar mahfuz sa manzar hamare aanganon ka tha
kisi bhi sidhe raste ka safar milta use kyun-kar
ki wo masdud KHud apne banae daeron ka tha
kabhi hanste hue aansu kabhi roti hui KHushiyan
karishma jo bhi tha sara hamari hi hison ka tha
KHud apni kawishon se hum ne apni qismaten likkhin
magar kuchh hath in mein bhi hamare dushmanon ka tha
nae rishte muqaddas KHwab se aawaz dete the
magar aaseb sa dil par guzishta rabton ka tha
kise milti najat 'azad' hasti ke masail se
ki har koi muqayyad aab-o-gil ke silsilon ka tha
