kya kya guman na the mujhe apni uDan par
kyā kyā gumāñ na the mujhe apnī uḌaan par
baazū jo shal hue to girā huuñ chaTān par
ḳhuddāriyoñ se kaun ye pūchhe ki aaj tak
kitne azaab ham ne liye apnī jaan par
ab ke na jaane rut ko nazar kis kī khā ga.ī
ik baar bhī paḌī na dhanak āsmān par
kashtī meñ so ga.e jo unheñ ye ḳhabar kahāñ
kitnā hai aaj zor-e-havā bādbān par
ḳhush-fahmiyoñ ke daur se pahle jo thī kabhī
vo bartarī kahāñ hai yaqīñ ko gumān par
ik be-karāñ ḳhalā hai nigāhoñ meñ har taraf
ya.anī zamīn par haiñ na ham āsmān par
'ḳhāvar' bhī zindagī se nabard-āzmā huā
kyā shaḳhs thā jo khel gayā apnī jaan par
kya kya guman na the mujhe apni uDan par
bazu jo shal hue to gira hun chaTan par
KHuddariyon se kaun ye puchhe ki aaj tak
kitne azab hum ne liye apni jaan par
ab ke na jaane rut ko nazar kis ki kha gai
ek bar bhi paDi na dhanak aasman par
kashti mein so gae jo unhen ye KHabar kahan
kitna hai aaj zor-e-hawa baadban par
KHush-fahmiyon ke daur se pahle jo thi kabhi
wo bartari kahan hai yaqin ko guman par
ek be-karan KHala hai nigahon mein har taraf
yani zamin par hain na hum aasman par
'KHawar' bhi zindagi se nabard-azma hua
kya shaKHs tha jo khel gaya apni jaan par
