khaDkhaData ek patta jab gira ek peD se
khaḌkhaḌātā ek patta jab girā ik peḌ se
sote gahrī niiñd panchhī phaḌphaḌā kar uḌ chale
jal-bujhī yādoñ ne jab āñkhoñ meñ ik añgḌā.ī lī
adh-jale kāġhaz pe piile harf raushan ho ga.e
biin jab bajne lagī soyā madan bhī jaag uThā
zahr lahrāne lagā ḳhvāboñ meñ har ik saañp ke
lamha lamha TuuT kar bahne lagī muddat kī niiñd
rafta rafta ik haqīqat ḳhvāb jab banñe lage
log bāzīgar bane bāzār meñ aa.e magar
khel vo khelā ki ḳhud hī ik tamāshā ban ga.e
kuchh nahīñ haiñ ham 'matīn' ab yād-e-rafta ke sivā
aaj se pahle the be-shak aadmī ham kaam ke
khaDkhaData ek patta jab gira ek peD se
sote gahri nind panchhi phaDphaDa kar uD chale
jal-bujhi yaadon ne jab aankhon mein ek angDai li
adh-jale kaghaz pe pile harf raushan ho gae
bin jab bajne lagi soya madan bhi jag uTha
zahr lahrane laga KHwabon mein har ek sanp ke
lamha lamha TuT kar bahne lagi muddat ki nind
rafta rafta ek haqiqat KHwab jab banne lage
log bazigar bane bazar mein aae magar
khel wo khela ki KHud hi ek tamasha ban gae
kuchh nahin hain hum 'matin' ab yaad-e-rafta ke siwa
aaj se pahle the be-shak aadmi hum kaam ke
