darwaza mayus hai shayad sog mein hai angnai bahut

darvāza māyūs hai shāyad sog meñ hai añgnā.ī bahut

ik muddat par apne ghar kī aa.ī to yaad aa.ī bahut

maiñ kyā jānūñ bhed hai kaisā pūchho ghaaT ke patthar se

dhīre dhīre āḳhir kaise jam jaatī hai kaa.ī bahut

pūrab pachchhim uttar dakhkhin har jānib hai ek hī haal

koī bhī mausam ho ġham kī chaltī hai purvā.ī bahut

andhe bahre gūñge saa.e ḳhaak mire kaam ā.eñge

āvāzoñ ke is jañgal meñ Dastī hai tanhā.ī bahut

kahtī haiñ kuchh aur lakīreñ lafzoñ kā mafhūm hai aur

chāhe jo bhī naqsh ho is meñ hotī hai gahrā.ī bahut

'raunaq' ye vo lafz haiñ jin se hotī hai rusvā.ī bahut

darwaza mayus hai shayad sog mein hai angnai bahut

ek muddat par apne ghar ki aai to yaad aai bahut

main kya jaanun bhed hai kaisa puchho ghaT ke patthar se

dhire dhire aaKHir kaise jam jati hai kai bahut

purab pachchhim uttar dakhkhin har jaanib hai ek hi haal

koi bhi mausam ho gham ki chalti hai purwai bahut

andhe bahre gunge sae KHak mere kaam aaenge

aawazon ke is jangal mein Dasti hai tanhai bahut

kahti hain kuchh aur lakiren lafzon ka mafhum hai aur

chahe jo bhi naqsh ho is mein hoti hai gahrai bahut

pyar sharafat hamdardi isar wafa sachchai KHulus

'raunaq' ye wo lafz hain jin se hoti hai ruswai bahut
