KHak sahraon ki palkon pe saja li humne
ḳhaak sahrāoñ kī palkoñ pe sajā lī ham ne
zindagī jaisī milī hañs ke nibhā lī ham ne
jām-e-ġham piite rahe mai kā sahārā na liyā
darmiyāñ dard ke ik raah nikālī ham ne
shahr-dar-shahr phire dasht-o-daman meñ bhaTke
masnad-e-qais dil-o-jāñ se sambhālī ham ne
ham bhī ashkoñ kī tijārat kā hunar rakhte haiñ
ashk arzāñ the bahut sharh baḌhā lī ham ne
lamha lamha tire ehsās ne karvaT badlī
raat ḳhvāboñ pe jamī gard haTā lī ham ne
ham se pūchhā thā kisī ne ki mohabbat kyā hai
be-ḳhudī meñ tirī tasvīr banā lī ham ne
ruuTh kar shahr-e-nigārāñ ke chalan se 'zākir'
apnī duniyā hī bahut duur basā lī ham ne
KHak sahraon ki palkon pe saja li hum ne
zindagi jaisi mili hans ke nibha li hum ne
jam-e-gham pite rahe mai ka sahaara na liya
darmiyan dard ke ek rah nikali hum ne
shahr-dar-shahr phire dasht-o-daman mein bhaTke
masnad-e-qais dil-o-jaan se sambhaali hum ne
hum bhi ashkon ki tijarat ka hunar rakhte hain
ashk arzan the bahut sharh baDha li hum ne
lamha lamha tere ehsas ne karwaT badli
raat KHwabon pe jami gard haTa li hum ne
hum se puchha tha kisi ne ki mohabbat kya hai
be-KHudi mein teri taswir bana li hum ne
ruTh kar shahr-e-nigaran ke chalan se 'zakir'
apni duniya hi bahut dur basa li hum ne
