ek tamasha aur dikhaya ja sakta tha
ek tamāshā aur dikhāyā jā saktā thā
mujh ko zinda bhī dafnāyā jā saktā thā
chiḌiyoñ kī āvāz na kānoñ tak aa saktī
ghar meñ itnā shor machāyā jā saktā thā
jab tak barf pighaltī yā barkhā rut aatī
dariyā aur bhī kaam meñ laayā jā saktā thā
tum ne apnā rasta ḳhud rokā thā varna
tum jab aanā chāhte aayā jā saktā thā
chhoTī chhoTī ḳhushiyāñ bāñTī jā saktī thiiñ
hañste hañste ġham apnāyā jā saktā thā
kitnā hī masrūf thā phir bhī apnī ḳhātir
thoḌā sā to vaqt bachāyā jā saktā thā
jitne vaqt meñ tum ne ghar ābād kiyā hai
utne vaqt meñ shahr basāyā jā saktā thā
gardan meñ bal aanā hī thā phir bhī 'saifī'
bojh zarā sā aur uThāyā jā saktā thā
ek tamasha aur dikhaya ja sakta tha
mujh ko zinda bhi dafnaya ja sakta tha
chiDiyon ki aawaz na kanon tak aa sakti
ghar mein itna shor machaya ja sakta tha
jab tak barf pighalti ya barkha rut aati
dariya aur bhi kaam mein laya ja sakta tha
tum ne apna rasta KHud roka tha warna
tum jab aana chahte aaya ja sakta tha
chhoTi chhoTi KHushiyan banTi ja sakti thin
hanste hanste gham apnaya ja sakta tha
kitna hi masruf tha phir bhi apni KHatir
thoDa sa to waqt bachaya ja sakta tha
jitne waqt mein tum ne ghar aabaad kiya hai
utne waqt mein shahr basaya ja sakta tha
gardan mein bal aana hi tha phir bhi 'saifi'
bojh zara sa aur uThaya ja sakta tha
