bedar ho gae hain jo KHwab-e-giran se hum
bedār ho ga.e haiñ jo ḳhvāb-e-girāñ se ham
aage nikal ga.e haiñ zabān-o-makāñ se ham
lag jā.egī Thikāne kabhī ḳhāk-e-zindagī
lipTe raheñge gard-e-pas-e-kārvāñ se ham
manzil bhī thī nigāh meñ gard-o-gubār-e-rāh
le kar chale jo izn-e-safar kahkashāñ se ham
us sañg-e-āstāñ pe jhukā kar jabīn-e-shauq
lo be-niyāz ho ga.e donoñ-jahāñ se ham
maanā nahīñ hai yuuñ hī hamāre vajūd ko
Takrā.e haiñ zamīñ se kabhī āsmāñ se ham
āġhāz-o-intihā kī haqīqat se be-ḳhabar
sharh-e-hayāt karte rahe darmiyāñ se ham
kyā pūchhte ho gardish-e-taqdīr-e-kārvāñ
pahuñche vahīñ pe aa ke chale the jahāñ se ham
sajde hī yaad haiñ na tire sañg-e-dar kā hosh
sar bhī jhukā ke duur rahe āstāñ se ham
kuchh bhī na thā 'razā' vo ba-juz dūd-e-āh-e-shauq
ta.abīr jis ko karte rahe āsmāñ se ham
bedar ho gae hain jo KHwab-e-giran se hum
aage nikal gae hain zaban-o-makan se hum
lag jaegi Thikane kabhi KHak-e-zindagi
lipTe rahenge gard-e-pas-e-karwan se hum
manzil bhi thi nigah mein gard-o-gubar-e-rah
le kar chale jo izn-e-safar kahkashan se hum
us sang-e-astan pe jhuka kar jabin-e-shauq
lo be-niyaz ho gae donon-jahan se hum
mana nahin hai yun hi hamare wajud ko
Takrae hain zamin se kabhi aasman se hum
aaghaz-o-intiha ki haqiqat se be-KHabar
sharh-e-hayat karte rahe darmiyan se hum
kya puchhte ho gardish-e-taqdir-e-karwan
pahunche wahin pe aa ke chale the jahan se hum
sajde hi yaad hain na tere sang-e-dar ka hosh
sar bhi jhuka ke dur rahe aastan se hum
kuchh bhi na tha 'raza' wo ba-juz dud-e-ah-e-shauq
tabir jis ko karte rahe aasman se hum
