majbur ho gaya to faza mein bikhar gaya

majbūr ho gayā to fazā meñ bikhar gayā

māhaul aisā paayā ki be-maut mar gayā

ik ajnabī ko rāsta batlānā shahr kā

mujh ko tamām gaañv meñ badnām kar gayā

zinda thā vo to koī use pūchhtā na thā

lekin vo jab marā to baḌā naam kar gayā

sach baat bhī zabāñ se koī boltā nahīñ

jaise har ek shaḳhs kā ehsās mar gayā

sho.ale se ab bhī uThte haiñ is ḳhaak se 'jamīl'

ghar ko jale hue to zamāna guzar gayā

majbur ho gaya to faza mein bikhar gaya

mahaul aisa paya ki be-maut mar gaya

ek ajnabi ko rasta batlana shahr ka

mujh ko tamam ganw mein badnam kar gaya

zinda tha wo to koi use puchhta na tha

lekin wo jab mara to baDa nam kar gaya

sach baat bhi zaban se koi bolta nahin

jaise har ek shaKHs ka ehsas mar gaya

shoale se ab bhi uThte hain is KHak se 'jamil'

ghar ko jale hue to zamana guzar gaya
