dhup aati nahin ruKH apna badal kar dekhen
dhuup aatī nahīñ ruḳh apnā badal kar dekheñ
chaḌhte sūraj kī taraf ham bhī to chal kar dekheñ
baat kuchh hogī yaqīnan jo ye hote haiñ nisār
ham bhī ik roz kisī sham.a pe jal kar dekheñ
sāhib-e-jubba-o-dastār se kah de koī
is bulandī pe vo dekheñ to sambhal kar dekheñ
kyā ajab hai ki ye muTThī meñ hamārī aa jaa.e
āsmāñ kī taraf ik baar uchhal kar dekheñ
daaġh dāman pe kisī ke na koī haath hī tar
kyuuñ na chehre pe lahū apnā hī mal kar dekheñ
kis tarah samt-e-muḳhālif meñ safar karte haiñ ham
bahte dhāre se kabhī aap nikal kar dekheñ
ḳhaak meñ mil ke fanā hoñge jo motī haiñ yahāñ
jab bhī jī chāhe ye āñkhoñ se ubal kar dekheñ
yak-ba-yak jaañ se guzarnā to hai āsāñ 'anjum'
qatra qatra ka.ī qistoñ meñ pighal kar dekheñ
dhup aati nahin ruKH apna badal kar dekhen
chaDhte suraj ki taraf hum bhi to chal kar dekhen
baat kuchh hogi yaqinan jo ye hote hain nisar
hum bhi ek roz kisi shama pe jal kar dekhen
sahib-e-jubba-o-dastar se kah de koi
is bulandi pe wo dekhen to sambhal kar dekhen
kya ajab hai ki ye muTThi mein hamari aa jae
aasman ki taraf ek bar uchhal kar dekhen
dagh daman pe kisi ke na koi hath hi tar
kyun na chehre pe lahu apna hi mal kar dekhen
kis tarah samt-e-muKHalif mein safar karte hain hum
bahte dhaare se kabhi aap nikal kar dekhen
KHak mein mil ke fana honge jo moti hain yahan
jab bhi ji chahe ye aankhon se ubal kar dekhen
yak-ba-yak jaan se guzarna to hai aasan 'anjum'
qatra qatra kai qiston mein pighal kar dekhen
