kal apne shahr ki bas mein sawar hote hue

kal apne shahr kī bas meñ savār hote hue

vo dekhtā thā mujhe ashk-bār hote hue

parinde aa.e to gumbad pe baiTh jā.eñge

nahīñ shajar kī zarūrat mazār hote hue

hai ek aur bhī sūrat razā-o-kufr ke biich

ki shak bhī dil meñ rahe e'tibār hote hue

mire vajūd se dhāgā nikal gayā hai dost

maiñ be-shumār huā huuñ shumār hote hue

Dubo rahā hai mujhe Dūbne kā ḳhauf ab tak

bhañvar ke biich huuñ dariyā ke paar hote hue

vo qaid-ḳhāna ġhanīmat thā mujh se be-ghar ko

ye zehn hī meñ na aayā farār hote hue

kal apne shahr ki bas mein sawar hote hue

wo dekhta tha mujhe ashk-bar hote hue

parinde aae to gumbad pe baiTh jaenge

nahin shajar ki zarurat mazar hote hue

hai ek aur bhi surat raza-o-kufr ke bich

ki shak bhi dil mein rahe e'tibar hote hue

mere wajud se dhaga nikal gaya hai dost

main be-shumar hua hun shumar hote hue

Dubo raha hai mujhe Dubne ka KHauf ab tak

bhanwar ke bich hun dariya ke par hote hue

wo qaid-KHana ghanimat tha mujh se be-ghar ko

ye zehn hi mein na aaya farar hote hue
