koi batae ki ye rang-e-dosti kya hai
koī batā.e ki ye rañg-e-dostī kyā hai
vo shaḳhs pūchh rahā hai ki dilbarī kyā hai
ga.e dinoñ ke tabassum kī raakh bikhrī hai
havā-e-shahr mire dil meñ DhūñDhtī kyā hai
fasīl-e-jism pe taanī hai karb kī chādar
ham ahl-e-dard se pūchho ki zindagī kyā hai
sitam kī lahr chalī aa mujhe gale se lagā
mire vajūd ke āñgan meñ sochtī kyā hai
vo dhaḌkanoñ ke talātum se āshnā hī nahīñ
use ḳhabar hī nahīñ hai ki shā.irī kyā hai
jo mah-vashoñ kī jabīnoñ se phūTtī hai 'niyāz'
parakh sako to parakh lo vo raushnī kyā hai
koi batae ki ye rang-e-dosti kya hai
wo shaKHs puchh raha hai ki dilbari kya hai
gae dinon ke tabassum ki rakh bikhri hai
hawa-e-shahr mere dil mein DhunDhti kya hai
fasil-e-jism pe tani hai karb ki chadar
hum ahl-e-dard se puchho ki zindagi kya hai
sitam ki lahr chali aa mujhe gale se laga
mere wajud ke aangan mein sochti kya hai
wo dhaDkanon ke talatum se aashna hi nahin
use KHabar hi nahin hai ki shairi kya hai
jo mah-washon ki jabinon se phuTti hai 'niyaz'
parakh sako to parakh lo wo raushni kya hai
