ghazab ki kaT thi ab ke hawa ke tanon mein
ġhazab kī kaaT thī ab ke havā ke tānoñ meñ
shigāf paḌ ga.e haiñ be-zabāñ chaTānoñ meñ
hamāre hoñT hī patthar ke haiñ vagarna miyāñ
ham ek aag liye phirte haiñ dahānoñ meñ
bagūla ban ke uThā to maiñ thā ḳharābe se
bapā huā na koī hashr āsmānoñ meñ
siyāh shahr kī qismat meñ merā faiz kahāñ
charāġh-e-nazr huuñ jaltā huuñ āstānoñ meñ
Tapak paḌā huuñ bil-āḳhir maiñ apnī āñkhoñ se
chhupā rakhā thā mujhe tum ne kin ḳhazānoñ meñ
sukūt ko na kabhī kar sadā se ālūda
ki ye zabāñ hai muqaddas-tarīñ zabānoñ meñ
suḳhan-shanās fasīloñ kā hai sukūt ġhazab
suḳhan-tarāz haiñ zanjīreñ qaid-ḳhānoñ meñ
ghazab ki kaT thi ab ke hawa ke tanon mein
shigaf paD gae hain be-zaban chaTanon mein
hamare honT hi patthar ke hain wagarna miyan
hum ek aag liye phirte hain dahanon mein
bagula ban ke uTha to main tha KHarabe se
bapa hua na koi hashr aasmanon mein
siyah shahr ki qismat mein mera faiz kahan
charagh-e-nazr hun jalta hun aastanon mein
Tapak paDa hun bil-aKHir main apni aankhon se
chhupa rakha tha mujhe tum ne kin KHazanon mein
sukut ko na kabhi kar sada se aaluda
ki ye zaban hai muqaddas-tarin zabanon mein
suKHan-shanas fasilon ka hai sukut ghazab
suKHan-taraaz hain zanjiren qaid-KHanon mein
