damak rahā thā bahut yuuñ to pairahan us kā
zarā se lams ne raushan kiyā badan us kā
vo ḳhaak uḌāne pe aa.e to saare dasht us ke
chale gudāz-qadam to chaman chaman us kā
vo jhuuT sach se pare raat kuchh sunātā thā
diloñ meñ raast utartā gayā suḳhan us kā
ajiib āb-o-havā kā vo rahne vaalā hai
milegā ḳhvāb o ḳhalā meñ kahīñ vatan us kā
tirī taraf se na kyā kyā sitam hue us par
maiñ jāntā huuñ bahut dost bhī na ban us kā
vo roz shaam se sham.eñ dhuāñ dhuāñ us kī
vo roz sub.h ujālā kiran kiran us kā
mirī nazar meñ hai mahfūz aaj bhī 'bānī'
badan kasā huā malbūs be-shikan us kā
damak raha tha bahut yun to pairahan us ka
zara se lams ne raushan kiya badan us ka
wo KHak uDane pe aae to sare dasht us ke
chale gudaz-qadam to chaman chaman us ka
wo jhuT sach se pare raat kuchh sunata tha
dilon mein rast utarta gaya suKHan us ka
ajib aab-o-hawa ka wo rahne wala hai
milega KHwab o KHala mein kahin watan us ka
teri taraf se na kya kya sitam hue us par
main jaanta hun bahut dost bhi na ban us ka
wo roz sham se shamen dhuan dhuan us ki
wo roz subh ujala kiran kiran us ka
meri nazar mein hai mahfuz aaj bhi 'bani'
badan kasa hua malbus be-shikan us ka
