hath kyun thakne lage hain qatilon se puchhna
haath kyuuñ thakne lage haiñ qātiloñ se pūchhnā
ke bhī kyuuñ boltī haiñ gardanoñ se pūchhnā
tum ne to bas haal hī pūchhā thā mujh bīmār kā
aa ga.e haiñ kyuuñ umañD kar āñsuoñ se pūchhnā
jūjhte rahne kā hai sailāb se mafhūm kyā
kashtiyoñ ko khene vaale māñjhiyoñ se pūchhnā
bhūke bachche ke liye kyā shai hai mamtā kī taḌap
duudh se mahrūm maañ kī chhātiyoñ se pūchhnā
dhuup meñ patjhaḌ kī un kā peḌ se rishta hai kyā
sūkhe DanThal jin ke haiñ un pattiyoñ se pūchhnā
gūñjtī hai ik akele hans kī āvāz kyuuñ
kal mile the jin pe ham in sāhiloñ se pūchhnā
yaad hai ab tak mujhe 'at.har' ki merā baar baar
un ke naqsh-e-pā kahāñ haiñ rāstoñ se pūchhnā
hath kyun thakne lage hain qatilon se puchhna
ke bhi kyun bolti hain gardanon se puchhna
tum ne to bas haal hi puchha tha mujh bimar ka
aa gae hain kyun umanD kar aansuon se puchhna
jujhte rahne ka hai sailab se mafhum kya
kashtiyon ko khene wale manjhiyon se puchhna
bhuke bachche ke liye kya shai hai mamta ki taDap
dudh se mahrum man ki chhatiyon se puchhna
dhup mein patjhaD ki un ka peD se rishta hai kya
sukhe DanThal jin ke hain un pattiyon se puchhna
gunjti hai ek akele hans ki aawaz kyun
kal mile the jin pe hum in sahilon se puchhna
yaad hai ab tak mujhe 'athar' ki mera bar bar
un ke naqsh-e-pa kahan hain raston se puchhna
