chaar paise jo bachcha kamane lage

chaar paise jo bachcha kamāne lage

aañkh mātā-pitā ko dikhāne lage

qalb mātā-pitā kā dukhā kar ke kyoñ

āñsuoñ ko muqaddar banāne lage

kho ga.iiñ biich kī saarī garmāhaTeñ

log rishtoñ ko rasman nibhāne lage

ḳhvāhishoñ ke samundar meñ Dubkī lagā

dā.era sab dukhoñ kā baḌhāne lage

jānte haiñ na sākār hoñge magar

dil ko sapne vafā ke suhāne lage

kyā batā.eñ nasha un nigāhoñ kā ham

bin piye hī qadam laḌkhaḌāne lage

dekh kar hausla rāste ḳhud-ba-ḳhud

manziloñ kā Thikānā batāne lage

dil kī chāloñ meñ aa kar ke 'hīrā' sabhī

niiñd āñkhoñ kī ḳhud hī gañvāne lage

chaar paise jo bachcha kamane lage

aankh mata-pita ko dikhane lage

qalb mata-pita ka dukha kar ke kyon

aansuon ko muqaddar banane lage

kho gain bich ki sari garmahaTen

log rishton ko rasman nibhane lage

KHwahishon ke samundar mein Dubki laga

daera sab dukhon ka baDhane lage

jaante hain na sakar honge magar

dil ko sapne wafa ke suhane lage

kya bataen nasha un nigahon ka hum

bin piye hi qadam laDkhaDane lage

dekh kar hausla raste KHud-ba-KHud

manzilon ka Thikana batane lage

dil ki chaalon mein aa kar ke 'hira' sabhi

nind aankhon ki KHud hi ganwane lage
