main apne shahr mein apna hi chehra kho baiTha
maiñ apne shahr meñ apnā hī chehra kho baiThā
ye vāqi.a jo sunāyā to vo bhī ro baiThā
tumhārī aas meñ āñkhoñ ko maiñ bhigo baiThā
ki dil meñ yaas ke kāñTe ka.ī chubho baiThā
matā-e-hāl na maazī kā koī sarmāya
nadī meñ vaqt kī har chiiz ko Dubo baiThā
sunahre vaqt kī tahrīreñ jin meñ thiiñ mahfūz
maiñ un sahīfoñ ko ashkoñ se apne dho baiThā
maiñ suntā rahtā thā jis aa.ine kī sargoshī
vo shahr-e-sañg meñ apnī jilā bhī kho baiThā
kisī babūl ke saa.e tale milī jo amaañ
to apne paañv meñ kāñTe bhī maiñ chubho baiThā
vahī rahā hai bahar-taur shādmāñ 'nayyar'
jo apne ġham meñ ġham-e-dīgarāñ samo baiThā
main apne shahr mein apna hi chehra kho baiTha
ye waqia jo sunaya to wo bhi ro baiTha
tumhaari aas mein aankhon ko main bhigo baiTha
ki dil mein yas ke kanTe kai chubho baiTha
mata-e-haal na mazi ka koi sarmaya
nadi mein waqt ki har chiz ko Dubo baiTha
sunahre waqt ki tahriren jin mein thin mahfuz
main un sahifon ko ashkon se apne dho baiTha
main sunta rahta tha jis aaine ki sargoshi
wo shahr-e-sang mein apni jila bhi kho baiTha
kisi babul ke sae tale mili jo aman
to apne panw mein kanTe bhi main chubho baiTha
wahi raha hai bahar-taur shadman 'nayyar'
jo apne gham mein gham-e-digaran samo baiTha
