khulti hai guftugu se girah pech-o-tab ki
khultī hai guftugū se girah pech-o-tāb kī
par kis se khul ke baat kareñ iztirāb kī
kaafī nahīñ hai chashm-e-tamāshā ko rañg-e-gul
laa.eñ kahāñ se zaḳhm meñ ḳhushbū gulāb kī
apnī barahnagī ko bachā tez dhuup se
kirnoñ meñ bū hai jalte hue āftāb kī
kuchh maiñ shajar se TuuT ke be-ḳhānumāñ huā
haañ kuchh havā ne bhī mirī miTTī ḳharāb kī
ik umr ho ga.ī hai ki maiñ jāñkanī meñ huuñ
aisī Thahar ga.ī hai ye saa.at azaab kī
ehsās-e-tīrgī hai to sūraj uchhāl de
varna duā na maañg yahāñ inqilāb kī
mahkūm bastiyoñ se sarakne lagī hai dhuup
vo ahd huuñ ki jis ne shafaq be-naqāb kī
bijlī chalī ga.ī to vo āñkhoñ meñ rah gayā
ab chhū ke paḌh rahā huuñ ibārat kitāb kī
'shāhid' kahāñ se ho ke guzartī hai āb-jū
rañgat tamām surḳh hai kyuuñ sat.h-e-āb kī
khulti hai guftugu se girah pech-o-tab ki
par kis se khul ke baat karen iztirab ki
kafi nahin hai chashm-e-tamasha ko rang-e-gul
laen kahan se zaKHm mein KHushbu gulab ki
apni barahnagi ko bacha tez dhup se
kirnon mein bu hai jalte hue aaftab ki
kuchh main shajar se TuT ke be-KHanuman hua
han kuchh hawa ne bhi meri miTTi KHarab ki
ek umr ho gai hai ki main jaankani mein hun
aisi Thahar gai hai ye saat azab ki
ehsas-e-tirgi hai to suraj uchhaal de
warna dua na mang yahan inqilab ki
mahkum bastiyon se sarakne lagi hai dhup
wo ahd hun ki jis ne shafaq be-naqab ki
bijli chali gai to wo aankhon mein rah gaya
ab chhu ke paDh raha hun ibarat kitab ki
'shahid' kahan se ho ke guzarti hai aab-ju
rangat tamam surKH hai kyun sath-e-ab ki
