jazire hon ki wo sahra hon KHwab hona hai
jazīre hoñ ki vo sahrā hoñ ḳhvāb honā hai
samundaroñ ko kisī din sarāb honā hai
savāl pūchhne vaalo tumheñ bhī āḳhir-e-kār
rahīn-e-minnat-e-bār-e-javāb honā hai
khañDar meñ baiTh ke rone kī ḳhū nahīñ jaatī
tumhārī aañkh pe shāyad azaab honā hai
vo zulmateñ jo ujāloñ ke ghar meñ rahtī haiñ
unheñ bhī misl-e-sahr be-naqāb honā hai
vo din jo niilī kitāboñ meñ band hai us ko
abhī to mere liye be-hijāb honā hai
abhī to ḳhvāhish-e-be-dast-o-pā salāmat hai
abhī kuchh aur ye ḳhāna-ḳharāb honā hai
ye shāḳh shāḳh parinde pukārte haiñ 'matīn'
hameñ to shāḳh se gir kar gulāb honā hai
jazire hon ki wo sahra hon KHwab hona hai
samundaron ko kisi din sarab hona hai
sawal puchhne walo tumhein bhi aaKHir-e-kar
rahin-e-minnat-e-bar-e-jawab hona hai
khanDar mein baiTh ke rone ki KHu nahin jati
tumhaari aankh pe shayad azab hona hai
wo zulmaten jo ujalon ke ghar mein rahti hain
unhen bhi misl-e-sahr be-naqab hona hai
wo din jo nili kitabon mein band hai us ko
abhi to mere liye be-hijab hona hai
abhi to KHwahish-e-be-dast-o-pa salamat hai
abhi kuchh aur ye KHana-KHarab hona hai
ye shaKH shaKH parinde pukarte hain 'matin'
hamein to shaKH se gir kar gulab hona hai
