farzanon ki is basti mein ek ajab saudai hai
farzānoñ kī is bastī meñ ek ajab saudā.ī hai
kis ke liye ye haal hai us kā kaun aisā harjā.ī hai
kis ke liye phirtā hai akelā shahr ke hañgāmoñ se duur
kaun hai jis kī ḳhātir us ko tanhā.ī raas aa.ī hai
kis ke lab o ruḳhsār kī bāteñ Dhal jaatī haiñ ġhazloñ meñ
kis ke ḳham-e-kākul kī kahānī vaj.h-e-suḳhan-ārā.ī hai
kaun hai jis kī mahrūmī ke daaġh haiñ us ke siine meñ
kaun hai jis ke ḳhvāboñ kī ik duniyā maiñ ne sajā.ī hai
kyuuñ us kī āshufta-sarī kā charchā hai ham logoñ meñ
kyuuñ itnī pur-kaif-o-soz us kī shab-e-tanhā.ī hai
'at.har' aao ham bhī us ke dil kī bāteñ sun aa.eñ
kahte haiñ dīvāna hai vo vahshī hai saudā.ī hai
farzanon ki is basti mein ek ajab saudai hai
kis ke liye ye haal hai us ka kaun aisa harjai hai
kis ke liye phirta hai akela shahr ke hangamon se dur
kaun hai jis ki KHatir us ko tanhai ras aai hai
kis ke lab o ruKHsar ki baaten Dhal jati hain ghazlon mein
kis ke KHam-e-kakul ki kahani wajh-e-suKHan-arai hai
kaun hai jis ki mahrumi ke dagh hain us ke sine mein
kaun hai jis ke KHwabon ki ek duniya main ne sajai hai
kyun us ki aashufta-sari ka charcha hai hum logon mein
kyun itni pur-kaif-o-soz us ki shab-e-tanhai hai
'athar' aao hum bhi us ke dil ki baaten sun aaen
kahte hain diwana hai wo wahshi hai saudai hai
