jaan-ba-lab waise hi the aur hamein mar chala
jāñ-ba-lab vaise hī the aur hameñ maar chalā
dhuup ke saath kahāñ sāya-e-dīvār chalā
bāz-gashtoñ ke ta.āqub se pareshāñ ho kar
maiñ bhī āvāz ke jañgal meñ dhuāñ-dhār chalā
maiñ ne ham zāviya qaabū nahīñ paayā ab tak
ai tamannā mire siine meñ na talvār chalā
ye safar vo hai jahāñ saañs ke par jalte haiñ
tujh ko zid hai to phir ai hasti-e-bekār chal aa
chāk-dāmānī se pahle hī bikhar jā.eñge
yuuñ shagūfoñ meñ agar tazkira-e-ḳhār chalā
gir paḌī ret kī dīvār to māyūsī meñ
gard-e-vahshat na uḌā ḳhuun kī bauchhār chalā
jaan-ba-lab waise hi the aur hamein mar chala
dhup ke sath kahan saya-e-diwar chala
baz-gashton ke taaqub se pareshan ho kar
main bhi aawaz ke jangal mein dhuan-dhaar chala
main ne hum zawiya qabu nahin paya ab tak
ai tamanna mere sine mein na talwar chala
ye safar wo hai jahan sans ke par jalte hain
tujh ko zid hai to phir ai hasti-e-bekar chal aa
chaak-damani se pahle hi bikhar jaenge
yun shagufon mein agar tazkira-e-KHar chala
gir paDi ret ki diwar to mayusi mein
gard-e-wahshat na uDa KHun ki bauchhaar chala
