kaisi kaisi rah mein diwaren karte hain hail log
kaisī kaisī raah meñ dīvāreñ karte haiñ haa.il log
phir bhī manzil pā lete haiñ ham jaise zinda dil log
vo dekho sāgar garjā tūfān uThā nayyā Duubī
aur tamāsha dekh rahe haiñ baiThe sāhil sāhil log
bazm sajā kar bheñT kiye haiñ hamdardī ke chand alfāz
merā dukhḌā baañT rahe haiñ mere ġham meñ shāmil log
bastī bastī ghuum rahe haiñ bhiiḌ bhare chaurāhoñ par
ujle ujle pahnāoñ meñ chehre badle qātil log
TuuT chaleñgī sab āshā.eñ tab hī jīvan raas aa.egā
kuchh din aur kaseñge ham par ta.ane mahfil mahfil log
kitnī ummīdoñ kī sham.eñ jalte hī bujh jaatī haiñ
ab bhī an-chāhe chhātī par dhar hī dete haiñ sil log
barf ke ā.īna-ḳhānoñ meñ sho.aloñ kā siñgār kareñge
aivānoñ meñ aish manā kar taḌpeñge patthar dil log
kaisi kaisi rah mein diwaren karte hain hail log
phir bhi manzil pa lete hain hum jaise zinda dil log
wo dekho sagar garja tufan uTha nayya Dubi
aur tamasha dekh rahe hain baiThe sahil sahil log
bazm saja kar bhenT kiye hain hamdardi ke chand alfaz
mera dukhDa banT rahe hain mere gham mein shamil log
basti basti ghum rahe hain bhiD bhare chaurahon par
ujle ujle pahnaon mein chehre badle qatil log
TuT chalengi sab aashaen tab hi jiwan ras aaega
kuchh din aur kasenge hum par tane mahfil mahfil log
kitni ummidon ki shamen jalte hi bujh jati hain
ab bhi an-chahe chhati par dhar hi dete hain sil log
barf ke aaina-KHanon mein shoalon ka singar karenge
aiwanon mein aish mana kar taDpenge patthar dil log
