kaTe hain din hayat ke lachaar ki tarah
kaaTe haiñ din hayāt ke lāchār kī tarah
kahne ko zindagī hai ye gulzār kī tarah
ma.alūm hī na thiiñ unheñ kuchh apnī qīmateñ
ahl-e-qalam bike yahāñ aḳhbār kī tarah
taqrīr us ne kī thī hamāre ḳhilāf jo
har lafz chubh rahā hai hameñ ḳhaar kī tarah
kyā tum pe e'tibār kareñ tum hī kuchh kaho
qaul-o-qarār karte ho sarkār kī tarah
niklegī kaise koī mulāqāt kī sabīl
duniyā khaḌī hai raah meñ dīvār kī tarah
dīvār-o-dar pe 'kirishnā' kī liilā ke naqsh hai
mandir hai ye to 'krishn' ke darbār kī tarah
ġhairat hameñ aziiz hai ġhairat se ham jiye
pahnī hai ham ne sar pe ye dastār kī tarah
ai 'shobhā' dekh un kī zarā ḳhush-libāsiyāñ
nikle haiñ ban ke vo kisī gulzār kī tarah
kaTe hain din hayat ke lachaar ki tarah
kahne ko zindagi hai ye gulzar ki tarah
malum hi na thin unhen kuchh apni qimaten
ahl-e-qalam bike yahan aKHbar ki tarah
taqrir us ne ki thi hamare KHilaf jo
har lafz chubh raha hai hamein KHar ki tarah
kya tum pe e'tibar karen tum hi kuchh kaho
qaul-o-qarar karte ho sarkar ki tarah
niklegi kaise koi mulaqat ki sabil
duniya khaDi hai rah mein diwar ki tarah
diwar-o-dar pe 'kirishna' ki lila ke naqsh hai
mandir hai ye to 'krishn' ke darbar ki tarah
ghairat hamein aziz hai ghairat se hum jiye
pahni hai hum ne sar pe ye dastar ki tarah
ai 'shobha' dekh un ki zara KHush-libasiyan
nikle hain ban ke wo kisi gulzar ki tarah
