ek duniya kah rahi hai kaun kis ka aashna
ek duniyā kah rahī hai kaun kis kā āshnā
maiñ hī vo thā jis ne ik duniyā ko samjhā āshnā
pūchhte haiñ bujhte lamhoñ ke khañDar har shaam ko
ho ga.ī kyā dil kī vo sham-e-ḳharāba āshnā
DhūñDhtā hai der se kho.e hue sikke kī tarah
māzī-e-ḳhāmosh ko imroz fardā-āshnā
ye zamīñ sadiyoñ pe jis kī aag ne badlā thā ruup
rafta rafta ho chalī ik barg sho.ala-āshnā
naḳhl-hā-e-rah-guzar tum kyā hameñ pahchānte
kitne saa.e kho chukā hai zauq-e-sahrā-āshnā
kārobār-e-qurbat-o-dūrī meñ aksar ban ga.e
ajnabī iḳhlās gesū āshnā nā-āshnā
vus.at-e-dāmāñ kā 'hurmat' jā.eza lenā paḌā
mahv-e-ġhavvāsī hai kab se fikr dariyā-āshnā
ek duniya kah rahi hai kaun kis ka aashna
main hi wo tha jis ne ek duniya ko samjha aashna
puchhte hain bujhte lamhon ke khanDar har sham ko
ho gai kya dil ki wo sham-e-KHaraba aashna
DhunDhta hai der se khoe hue sikke ki tarah
mazi-e-KHamosh ko imroz farda-ashna
ye zamin sadiyon pe jis ki aag ne badla tha rup
rafta rafta ho chali ek barg shoala-ashna
naKHl-ha-e-rah-guzar tum kya hamein pahchante
kitne sae kho chuka hai zauq-e-sahra-ashna
karobar-e-qurbat-o-duri mein aksar ban gae
ajnabi iKHlas gesu aashna na-ashna
wusat-e-daman ka 'hurmat' jaeza lena paDa
mahw-e-ghawwasi hai kab se fikr dariya-ashna
