koi harf-e-nafi na kaam aaya
koī harf-e-nafī na kaam aayā
kitnī sachchī thī dostī apnī
Thokareñ khā ke ke surḳh-rū Thahrā
ik du'ā hai ye zindagī apnī
ab kahāñ hai koī harīf apnā
ḳhuub Dartī hai be-kasī apnī
kaise tārīḳh ko bhulā Dālūñ
ḳhuuñ meñ Duubī hai ye sadī apnī
kuchh na khātā huuñ kuchh na piitā huuñ
bhūkī sotī hai muflisī apnī
ḳhālī botal takā hī kartī hai
kitnī pyāsī hai mai-kashī apnī
shāyad apnā ḳhudā tarāsh liyā
ab kahāñ hai vo bandagī apnī
shāyad 'iqbāl' se Darī hogī
pahle sarshār thī ḳhudī apnī
saare alfāz saath chhoḌ ga.e
saada kāġhaz hai shā'irī apnī
kārvāñ chhoḌ ke vo aayā hai
ik musāfir hai rahbarī apnī
koi harf-e-nafi na kaam aaya
kitni sachchi thi dosti apni
Thokaren kha ke ke surKH-ru Thahra
ek du'a hai ye zindagi apni
ab kahan hai koi harif apna
KHub Darti hai be-kasi apni
kaise tariKH ko bhula Dalun
KHun mein Dubi hai ye sadi apni
kuchh na khata hun kuchh na pita hun
bhuki soti hai muflisi apni
KHali botal taka hi karti hai
kitni pyasi hai mai-kashi apni
shayad apna KHuda tarash liya
ab kahan hai wo bandagi apni
shayad 'iqbaal' se Dari hogi
pahle sarshaar thi KHudi apni
sare alfaz sath chhoD gae
sada kaghaz hai sha'iri apni
karwan chhoD ke wo aaya hai
ek musafir hai rahbari apni
