bijli giri to soch ke sab tar kaT gae

bijlī girī to soch ke sab taar kaT ga.e

yak-laḳht raushnī se añdhere lipaT ga.e

sahrā-navardiyoñ meñ to mahfūz the magar

shahroñ ke ās-pās hī ḳheme ulaT ga.e

milne ko chand roz mile the sukūn ke

din apnī umr ke to bahar-hāl ghaT ga.e

saa.e ki phailte hī chale the zamīn par

sūraj ne jūñhī aañkh dikhā.ī simaT ga.e

anjām-e-kār ḳhud hī shikārī the jaal meñ

'ejāz' ahl-e-jaur ke pāñse palaT ga.e

bijli giri to soch ke sab tar kaT gae

yak-laKHt raushni se andhere lipaT gae

sahra-nawardiyon mein to mahfuz the magar

shahron ke aas-pas hi KHeme ulaT gae

milne ko chand roz mile the sukun ke

din apni umr ke to bahar-haal ghaT gae

sae ki phailte hi chale the zamin par

suraj ne junhi aankh dikhai simaT gae

anjam-e-kar KHud hi shikari the jal mein

'ejaz' ahl-e-jaur ke panse palaT gae
