gili miTTi se badan bante hue umr lagi
giilī miTTī se badan bante hue umr lagī
mujh ko sahrā se chaman bante hue umr lagī
puḳhtagī fikr meñ yak-laḳht kahāñ aatī hai
merī sochoñ ko suḳhan bante hue umr lagī
ibn-e-ādam kī havas se milī sadiyoñ meñ najāt
bint-e-havvā ko dulhan bante hue umr lagī
farq hālāñki bahut thoḌā hai donoñ meñ magar
sar ke āñchal ko kafan bante hue umr lagī
ham to samjhe the vo mahkegā guloñ kī mānind
par use ġhuncha-dahan bante hue umr lagī
chand lamhoñ meñ taġhayyur ye nahīñ aayā hai
chhal ko duniyā kā chalan bante hue umr lagī
maiñ to bas itnā kahūñgā mirī māyūsī ko
'shād' aashā kī kiran bante hue umr lagī
gili miTTi se badan bante hue umr lagi
mujh ko sahra se chaman bante hue umr lagi
puKHtagi fikr mein yak-laKHt kahan aati hai
meri sochon ko suKHan bante hue umr lagi
ibn-e-adam ki hawas se mili sadiyon mein najat
bint-e-hawwa ko dulhan bante hue umr lagi
farq haalanki bahut thoDa hai donon mein magar
sar ke aanchal ko kafan bante hue umr lagi
hum to samjhe the wo mahkega gulon ki manind
par use ghuncha-dahan bante hue umr lagi
chand lamhon mein taghayyur ye nahin aaya hai
chhal ko duniya ka chalan bante hue umr lagi
main to bas itna kahunga meri mayusi ko
'shad' aasha ki kiran bante hue umr lagi
