bhagte suraj ko pichhe chhoD kar jaenge hum

bhāgte sūraj ko pīchhe chhoḌ kar jā.eñge ham

shaam ke hote hī vāpas apne ghar jā.eñge ham

kāTne ko ek shab Thahre haiñ tere shahr meñ

kyā batā.eñ sub.h hogī to kidhar jā.eñge ham

dhuup meñ phūloñ sā murjhā bhī ga.e to kyā huā

shahr se hoñToñ ke paimāne to bhar jā.eñge ham

aaj gardūñ kī bulandī nāpne meñ mahv haiñ

kal kisī gahre samundar meñ utar jā.eñge ham

DhūñDte khoyā huā chehra kisī shīshe meñ kyuuñ

jānte gar ye ki saa.e se bhī Dar jā.eñge ham

kuchh hamārā haal bhī 'ḳhāvar' hai kundan kī tarah

dukh ke sho.aloñ meñ jaleñge to nikhar jā.eñge ham

bhagte suraj ko pichhe chhoD kar jaenge hum

sham ke hote hi wapas apne ghar jaenge hum

kaTne ko ek shab Thahre hain tere shahr mein

kya bataen subh hogi to kidhar jaenge hum

dhup mein phulon sa murjha bhi gae to kya hua

shahr se honTon ke paimane to bhar jaenge hum

aaj gardun ki bulandi napne mein mahw hain

kal kisi gahre samundar mein utar jaenge hum

DhunDte khoya hua chehra kisi shishe mein kyun

jaante gar ye ki sae se bhi Dar jaenge hum

kuchh hamara haal bhi 'KHawar' hai kundan ki tarah

dukh ke shoalon mein jalenge to nikhar jaenge hum
