hosh jis waqt bhi aaega giraftaron ko
hosh jis vaqt bhī aa.egā giraftāroñ ko
ḳhas kī mānind uḌā Dāleñge dīvāroñ ko
zindagī karnī hai tum ko to taḌapnā sīkho
zañg lag jaatā hai rakkhī huī talvāroñ ko
zaḳhm siine pe kisī ke nahīñ aayā ab tak
āzmāyā hai bahut qaum ke sardāroñ ko
itne ūñche bhī na uTTho ki sambhal bhī na sako
ham ne girte hue dekhā ka.ī mīnāroñ ko
buzdilī hai ki ye nādānī hai āḳhir kyā hai
log ashkoñ se bujhāne lage añgāroñ ko
vahī rishvat vahī iġhvā vahī ḳhabreñ 'irfāñ'
ham to bin dekhe hī paḌh lete haiñ aḳhbāroñ ko
hosh jis waqt bhi aaega giraftaron ko
KHas ki manind uDa Dalenge diwaron ko
zindagi karni hai tum ko to taDapna sikho
zang lag jata hai rakkhi hui talwaron ko
zaKHm sine pe kisi ke nahin aaya ab tak
aazmaya hai bahut qaum ke sardaron ko
itne unche bhi na uTTho ki sambhal bhi na sako
hum ne girte hue dekha kai minaron ko
buzdili hai ki ye nadani hai aaKHir kya hai
log ashkon se bujhane lage angaron ko
wahi rishwat wahi ighwa wahi KHabren 'irfan'
hum to bin dekhe hi paDh lete hain aKHbaron ko
