bijli giri hai kal kisi ujDe makan par
bijlī girī hai kal kisī ujḌe makān par
rone lagūñ ki hañs paḌūñ is dāstān par
vo qahr thā ki raat kā patthar pighal paḌā
kyā ātishīñ gulāb khilā āsmān par
ik naqsh sā nikhartā rahegā nigāh meñ
ik harf sā laraztā rahegā zabān par
apne liye hī aañkh kā parda huuñ raat din
maiñ varna āshkār huuñ saare jahān par
sher aa ke chiir phaaḌ gayā mujh ko ḳhvāb meñ
dam-bhar ko merī aañkh lagī thī machān par
pyāsī hai ruuh jism sharābor hai to kyā
be-kār meñh barastā rahā sā.ebān par
piilī havā meñ ḳhuun kā zarra uḌā hī thā
pāgal huā ye shahr zarā se nishān par
ḳhālī paḌī haiñ bed kī bīmār kursiyāñ
ḳhūñ-ḳhvāb dhūp-dhund barastī hai lawn par
kis taaza mā'rke pe gayā aaj phir 'zafar'
talvār taaq meñ hai na ghoḌā hai thaan par
bijli giri hai kal kisi ujDe makan par
rone lagun ki hans paDun is dastan par
wo qahr tha ki raat ka patthar pighal paDa
kya aatishin gulab khila aasman par
ek naqsh sa nikharta rahega nigah mein
ek harf sa larazta rahega zaban par
apne liye hi aankh ka parda hun raat din
main warna aashkar hun sare jahan par
sher aa ke chir phaD gaya mujh ko KHwab mein
dam-bhar ko meri aankh lagi thi machan par
pyasi hai ruh jism sharabor hai to kya
be-kar meinh barasta raha saeban par
pili hawa mein KHun ka zarra uDa hi tha
pagal hua ye shahr zara se nishan par
KHali paDi hain bed ki bimar kursiyan
KHun-KHwab dhup-dhund barasti hai lawn par
kis taza ma'rke pe gaya aaj phir 'zafar'
talwar taq mein hai na ghoDa hai than par
