kitne hi peD KHauf-e-KHizan se ujaD gae

kitne hī peḌ ḳhauf-e-ḳhizāñ se ujaḌ ga.e

kuchh barg-e-sabz vaqt se pahle hī jhaḌ ga.e

kuchh āñdhiyāñ bhī apnī muāvin safar meñ thiiñ

thak kar paḌāv Daalā to ḳheme ukhaḌ ga.e

ab ke mirī shikast meñ un kā bhī haath hai

vo tiir jo kamān ke panje meñ gaḌ ga.e

suljhī thiiñ gutthiyāñ mirī dānist meñ magar

hāsil ye hai ki zaḳhmoñ ke Tāñke ukhaḌ ga.e

nirvān kyā bas ab to amaañ kī talāsh hai

tahzīb phailne lagī jañgal sukaḌ ga.e

is band ghar meñ kaise kahūñ kyā tilism hai

khole the jitne qufl vo hoñToñ pe paḌ ga.e

be-saltanat huī haiñ ka.ī ūñchī gardaneñ

bāhar saroñ ke dast-e-tasallut se dhaḌ ga.e

kitne hi peD KHauf-e-KHizan se ujaD gae

kuchh barg-e-sabz waqt se pahle hi jhaD gae

kuchh aandhiyan bhi apni muawin safar mein thin

thak kar paDaw Dala to KHeme ukhaD gae

ab ke meri shikast mein un ka bhi hath hai

wo tir jo kaman ke panje mein gaD gae

suljhi thin gutthiyan meri danist mein magar

hasil ye hai ki zaKHmon ke Tanke ukhaD gae

nirwan kya bas ab to aman ki talash hai

tahzib phailne lagi jangal sukaD gae

is band ghar mein kaise kahun kya tilism hai

khole the jitne qufl wo honTon pe paD gae

be-saltanat hui hain kai unchi gardanen

bahar saron ke dast-e-tasallut se dhaD gae
