kaun hun kyun zinda hun sochta rahta hun
kaun huuñ kyuuñ zinda huuñ sochtā rahtā huuñ
ḳhvāboñ kī duniyā meñ jāgtā rahtā huuñ
rañg aur ḳhushbū se dhundlā.e rastoñ meñ
havā kī uñglī thaam ke chaltā rahtā huuñ
āvāzoñ kī gaThrī sar pe uThā.e hue
ḳhāmoshī ke ziine chaḌhtā rahtā huuñ
jahāñ se mere jism ko ik din ugnā hai
maiñ us bāñjh zamīn ko DhūñDhtā rahtā huuñ
āñkhoñ kī uryānī se chhupne ke liye
na.e na.e malbūs pahantā rahtā huuñ
sub.h-o-shām havā kī andhī lahroñ meñ
zarra zarra ho ke bikhartā rahtā huuñ
soī huī rāhoñ meñ tanhā chāñd ke saath
saarī saarī raat bhaTaktā rahtā huuñ
lauh-e-jahāñ par bantī bigaḌtī tahrīreñ
dekhtā rahtā huuñ aur sochtā rahtā huuñ
jism-o-jāñ kī dhuup se jalte sahrā meñ
apnā saaya oḌh ke chaltā rahtā huuñ
kaun hun kyun zinda hun sochta rahta hun
KHwabon ki duniya mein jagta rahta hun
rang aur KHushbu se dhundlae raston mein
hawa ki ungli tham ke chalta rahta hun
aawazon ki gaThri sar pe uThae hue
KHamoshi ke zine chaDhta rahta hun
jahan se mere jism ko ek din ugna hai
main us banjh zamin ko DhunDhta rahta hun
aankhon ki uryani se chhupne ke liye
nae nae malbus pahanta rahta hun
subh-o-sham hawa ki andhi lahron mein
zarra zarra ho ke bikharta rahta hun
soi hui rahon mein tanha chand ke sath
sari sari raat bhaTakta rahta hun
lauh-e-jahan par banti bigaDti tahriren
dekhta rahta hun aur sochta rahta hun
jism-o-jaan ki dhup se jalte sahra mein
apna saya oDh ke chalta rahta hun
