harif-e-dastan karna paDa hai
harīf-e-dāstāñ karnā paḌā hai
zamīñ ko āsmāñ karnā paḌā hai
nikal kar aa ga.e haiñ jañgaloñ meñ
makāñ ko lā-makāñ karnā paḌā hai
savā neze pe sūraj aa gayā thā
lahū ko sā.ebāñ karnā paḌā hai
bahut tārīk thiiñ hastī kī rāheñ
badan ko kahkashāñ karnā paḌā hai
kise ma.alūm lams un uñgliyoñ kā
havā ko rāz-dāñ karnā paḌā hai
vo shāyad koī sachchī baat kah de
use phir bad-gumāñ karnā paḌā hai
maiñ apne saare patte faash kartā
magar aisā kahāñ karnā paḌā hai
safar āsāñ nahīñ haraf o qalam kā
hameñ tai haft-ḳhvāñ karnā paḌā hai
thā jis se iḳhtilāf-e-rā.e mumkin
usī ko mehrbāñ karnā paḌā hai
saf-e-a.adā meñ apne bāzuoñ ko
mujhe 'aḳhtar' kamāñ karnā paḌā hai
harif-e-dastan karna paDa hai
zamin ko aasman karna paDa hai
nikal kar aa gae hain jangalon mein
makan ko la-makan karna paDa hai
sawa neze pe suraj aa gaya tha
lahu ko saeban karna paDa hai
bahut tarik thin hasti ki rahen
badan ko kahkashan karna paDa hai
kise malum lams un ungliyon ka
hawa ko raaz-dan karna paDa hai
wo shayad koi sachchi baat kah de
use phir bad-guman karna paDa hai
main apne sare patte fash karta
magar aisa kahan karna paDa hai
safar aasan nahin haraf o qalam ka
hamein tai haft-KHwan karna paDa hai
tha jis se iKHtilaf-e-rae mumkin
usi ko mehrban karna paDa hai
saf-e-ada mein apne bazuon ko
mujhe 'aKHtar' kaman karna paDa hai
