jab kabhi phulon ne KHushbu ki tijarat ki hai
jab kabhī phūloñ ne ḳhushbū kī tijārat kī hai
pattī pattī ne havāoñ se shikāyat kī hai
yuuñ lagā jaise koī itr fazā meñ ghul jaa.e
jab kisī bachche ne qur.āñ kī tilāvat kī hai
jā-namāzoñ kī tarah nuur meñ ujlā.ī sahar
raat bhar jaise farishtoñ ne ibādat kī hai
sar uThā.e thiiñ bahut surḳh havā meñ phir bhī
ham ne palkoñ ke charāġhoñ kī hifāzat kī hai
mujhe tūfān-e-havādis se Darāne vaalo
hādsoñ ne to mire haath pe bai.at kī hai
aaj ik dāna-e-gandum ke bhī haqdār nahīñ
ham ne sadiyoñ inhīñ khetoñ pe hukūmat kī hai
ye zarūrī thā ki ham dekhte qiloñ ke jalāl
umr bhar ham ne mazāroñ kī ziyārat kī hai
jab kabhi phulon ne KHushbu ki tijarat ki hai
patti patti ne hawaon se shikayat ki hai
yun laga jaise koi itr faza mein ghul jae
jab kisi bachche ne quran ki tilawat ki hai
ja-namazon ki tarah nur mein ujlai sahar
raat bhar jaise farishton ne ibaadat ki hai
sar uThae thin bahut surKH hawa mein phir bhi
hum ne palkon ke charaghon ki hifazat ki hai
mujhe tufan-e-hawadis se Darane walo
hadson ne to mere hath pe baiat ki hai
aaj ek dana-e-gandum ke bhi haqdar nahin
hum ne sadiyon inhin kheton pe hukumat ki hai
ye zaruri tha ki hum dekhte qilon ke jalal
umr bhar hum ne mazaron ki ziyarat ki hai
