kaam kuchh to lena tha apne dida-e-tar se
kaam kuchh to lenā thā apne dīda-e-tar se
kaaT diiñ ka.ī rāteñ āñsuoñ ke ḳhanjar se
niiñd hai thakan sī hai silvaTeñ haiñ yādeñ haiñ
kitne log uTheñge sub.h mere bistar se
jān-būjh kar ham ne bādbān khole haiñ
kis ko ab palaTnā hai be-karāñ samundar se
bhīgnā muzir to thā phir bhī kaisī lazzat thī
jab ghaTā.eñ uTThīñ thiiñ maiñ qarīb thā ghar se
aaj to havā bhī hai tez barf-bārī bhī
yuuñ bhī niiñd kyā aatī ik shikasta chādar se
jab bhī pā.eñge mauqa.a phuul toḌ hī leñge
bachche ruk nahīñ sakte bāġhbān ke Dar se
ai nashāt ke ziino tum ko yaad to hogā
ik salām kah denā us madīna-aḳhtar se
kaam kuchh to lena tha apne dida-e-tar se
kaT din kai raaten aansuon ke KHanjar se
nind hai thakan si hai silwaTen hain yaaden hain
kitne log uThenge subh mere bistar se
jaan-bujh kar hum ne baadban khole hain
kis ko ab palaTna hai be-karan samundar se
bhigna muzir to tha phir bhi kaisi lazzat thi
jab ghaTaen uTThin thin main qarib tha ghar se
aaj to hawa bhi hai tez barf-bari bhi
yun bhi nind kya aati ek shikasta chadar se
jab bhi paenge mauqa phul toD hi lenge
bachche ruk nahin sakte baghban ke Dar se
ai nashat ke zino tum ko yaad to hoga
ek salam kah dena us madina-aKHtar se
