diwangi ki rah mein gum-sum hua na tha!
dīvāngī kī raah meñ gum-sum huā na thaa!
duniyā meñ apnā koī kahīñ āshnā na thaa!
dhaḌkan kā dard jism ko taḌpā ke rah gayā
rag rag meñ ek shor-e-masīhā bapā na thaa!
ik kashmakash ke ba.ad ta.alluq nahīñ rahā
begāna ho ke ham se vo lekin ḳhafā na thaa!
dīvār-o-dar pe parde laTakte the har taraf
iflās kone kone meñ lekin chhupā na thaa!
zanjīreñ laakh TūTīñ magar ḳhauf-e-hukmarāñ
majbūriyoñ ke jaal se koī rihā na thaa!
ik apnī chīḳh se laraz uTThe the bām-o-dar
aa.ī na bāzgasht koī ham-navā na thaa!
aate rahe na jaane kahāñ se ḳhatoñ pe ḳhat
be-nūr chashm-e-nam ne kisī ko paḌhā na thaa!
diwangi ki rah mein gum-sum hua na tha!
duniya mein apna koi kahin aashna na tha!
dhaDkan ka dard jism ko taDpa ke rah gaya
rag rag mein ek shor-e-masiha bapa na tha!
ek kashmakash ke baad talluq nahin raha
begana ho ke hum se wo lekin KHafa na tha!
diwar-o-dar pe parde laTakte the har taraf
iflas kone kone mein lekin chhupa na tha!
zanjiren lakh TuTin magar KHauf-e-hukmaran
majburiyon ke jal se koi riha na tha!
ek apni chiKH se laraz uTThe the baam-o-dar
aai na bazgasht koi ham-nawa na tha!
aate rahe na jaane kahan se KHaton pe KHat
be-nur chashm-e-nam ne kisi ko paDha na tha!
