dar-o-diwar sab aundhe girenge

dar-o-dīvār sab auñdhe gireñge

purāne ghar hameñ rote raheñge

baqā ke shahr meñ jaane se pahle

ham apne jism ke andar mareñge

shu.ūr-o-harf bhī jo chhin ga.e to

akele dasht meñ ham kyā kareñge

kahāñ tak jism ke de kar nivāle

zamīñ kā peT ham bharte raheñge

sahar kī raushnī phūTe na jab tak

añdherī shab kī āñkhoñ meñ jaleñge

hamāre ba.ad is kamre ke shāyad

ye parde der tak hilte raheñge

maiñ lauTā to shajar dariyā parinde

ḳhushī se merā māthā chuum leñge

'figār' ik din mire pairoñ ke chhāle

jo phūTe to na.e raste baneñge

dar-o-diwar sab aundhe girenge

purane ghar hamein rote rahenge

baqa ke shahr mein jaane se pahle

hum apne jism ke andar marenge

shuur-o-harf bhi jo chhin gae to

akele dasht mein hum kya karenge

kahan tak jism ke de kar niwale

zamin ka peT hum bharte rahenge

sahar ki raushni phuTe na jab tak

andheri shab ki aankhon mein jalenge

hamare baad is kamre ke shayad

ye parde der tak hilte rahenge

main lauTa to shajar dariya parinde

KHushi se mera matha chum lenge

'figar' ek din mere pairon ke chhaale

jo phuTe to nae raste banenge
