kase kajawe mahmalon ke aur jaga raat ka tara bhi
kase kajāve mahmaloñ ke aur jaagā raat kā taarā bhī
chhoḌ dī bastī nāqoñ ne ḳhāmosh huā naqqārā bhī
chāñd sī āñkheñ khel rahī thiiñ surḳh pahāḌ kī oToñ se
pūrab or se taak rahā thā uTh kar abr kā paara bhī
qāfile gard-e-safar meñ Dūbe, ghanTiyoñ kī āvāz ghuTī
āḳhirī uuñT kī pusht pe Daalā raat ne siyāh ġharāra bhī
shahr ke chauk meñ vīrānī hai aag bujhī, andher huā
raakh saroñ meñ Daal ke baiThe, aaj tire āvāra bhī
koī na rasta naap sakā hai, ret pe chalne vāloñ kā
agle qadam par miT jā.egā pahlā naqsh hamārā bhī
kase kajawe mahmalon ke aur jaga raat ka tara bhi
chhoD di basti naqon ne KHamosh hua naqqara bhi
chand si aankhen khel rahi thin surKH pahaD ki oTon se
purab or se tak raha tha uTh kar abr ka para bhi
qafile gard-e-safar mein Dube, ghanTiyon ki aawaz ghuTi
aaKHiri unT ki pusht pe Dala raat ne siyah gharara bhi
shahr ke chauk mein virani hai aag bujhi, andher hua
rakh saron mein Dal ke baiThe, aaj tere aawara bhi
koi na rasta nap saka hai, ret pe chalne walon ka
agle qadam par miT jaega pahla naqsh hamara bhi
