dasht-o-sahra ki kahan ab zindagani chahiye
dasht-o-sahrā kī kahāñ ab zindagānī chāhiye
aur agar aisā hai to hoñToñ ko paanī chāhiye
sochtā huuñ mere dil tak kis tarah pahuñche koī
be-nishāñ ghar ke liye kuchh to nishānī chāhiye
putliyoñ par raqs karnā hī kalām-e-fan nahīñ
dard ke aañsū ko to paiham ravānī chāhiye
ik sunahrā ḳhvāb merī niiñd ko darkār hai
ḳhvāb ko bhī niiñd hī kī pāsbānī chāhiye
raat guzrī hai hisār-e-karb meñ ai 'maz.harī'
shaam ab dil ke liye koī suhānī chāhiye
dasht-o-sahra ki kahan ab zindagani chahiye
aur agar aisa hai to honTon ko pani chahiye
sochta hun mere dil tak kis tarah pahunche koi
be-nishan ghar ke liye kuchh to nishani chahiye
putliyon par raqs karna hi kalam-e-fan nahin
dard ke aansu ko to paiham rawani chahiye
ek sunahra KHwab meri nind ko darkar hai
KHwab ko bhi nind hi ki pasbani chahiye
raat guzri hai hisar-e-karb mein ai 'mazhari'
sham ab dil ke liye koi suhani chahiye
