jis ne banaya har aaina main hi tha
jis ne banāyā har ā.īna maiñ hī thā
aur phir us meñ apnā tamāsha maiñ hī thā
mere qatl kā jashn manāyā duniyā ne
phir duniyā ne dekhā zinda maiñ hī thā
mahl-sarā ke sab chehroñ ko jāntā huuñ
jis se ga.e the dil tak rāsta maiñ hī thā
dekh liyā zindānoñ kī dīvāroñ ne
un se qad meñ buland-o-bālā maiñ hī thā
maiñ hī nahīñ to kaun se log aur kaise log
kaun sī duniyā sāhab-e-duniyā maiñ hī thā
mulkoñ mulkoñ phir kar ḳhālī haath miyāñ
lauTne vaalā vo shahzāda maiñ hī thā
duniyā tū ne ḳhālī haath mujhe jaanā
zālim terā sab sarmāya maiñ hī thā
merā surāġh lagāne vaale jānte haiñ
jab tak thā maiñ apnā havāla maiñ hī thā
jis ne banaya har aaina main hi tha
aur phir us mein apna tamasha main hi tha
mere qatl ka jashn manaya duniya ne
phir duniya ne dekha zinda main hi tha
mahl-sara ke sab chehron ko jaanta hun
jis se gae the dil tak rasta main hi tha
dekh liya zindanon ki diwaron ne
un se qad mein buland-o-baala main hi tha
main hi nahin to kaun se log aur kaise log
kaun si duniya sahab-e-duniya main hi tha
mulkon mulkon phir kar KHali hath miyan
lauTne wala wo shahzada main hi tha
duniya tu ne KHali hath mujhe jaana
zalim tera sab sarmaya main hi tha
mera suragh lagane wale jaante hain
jab tak tha main apna hawala main hi tha
