baiTh jata tha main thak kar apne tan ki chhanw mein
baiTh jaatā thā maiñ thak kar apne tan kī chhāñv meñ
ek ghar hotā thā apne naam kā us gaañv meñ
qatre qatre ko tarastā hī rahā maiñ umr bhar
go safar kartā rahā maiñ umr bhar dariyāoñ meñ
mar ke jiitā thā kabhī maiñ jī ke martā thā kabhī
ḳhush-nasībī thī safar kartā thā do duniyāoñ meñ
dekhtī āñkhoñ se ham chup-chāp sunte hī rahe
guftugū jaarī thī rañg-e-gul pe nā-bīnāoñ meñ
shahr meñ rahte hue tanhā.ī kā ye haal thā
maiñ ghirā rahtā thā jaise be-karāñ sahrāoñ meñ
jis shajar ko kaaT kar us ne haTāyā raah se
rah chukā thā vo shajar us ke karam-farmāoñ meñ
ḳhvāb meñ 'ālam' ne auj-e-arsh tak parvāz kī
aur jaage to vahī chakkar thā apne paañv meñ
baiTh jata tha main thak kar apne tan ki chhanw mein
ek ghar hota tha apne nam ka us ganw mein
qatre qatre ko tarasta hi raha main umr bhar
go safar karta raha main umr bhar dariyaon mein
mar ke jita tha kabhi main ji ke marta tha kabhi
KHush-nasibi thi safar karta tha do duniyaon mein
dekhti aankhon se hum chup-chap sunte hi rahe
guftugu jari thi rang-e-gul pe na-binaon mein
shahr mein rahte hue tanhai ka ye haal tha
main ghira rahta tha jaise be-karan sahraon mein
jis shajar ko kaT kar us ne haTaya rah se
rah chuka tha wo shajar us ke karam-farmaon mein
KHwab mein 'alam' ne auj-e-arsh tak parwaz ki
aur jage to wahi chakkar tha apne panw mein
