malal ji pe na yun ek chaaragar ne liya
malāl jī pe na yuuñ ek chārāgar ne liyā
asar jo merī udāsī kā bām-o-dar ne liyā
baTā rahā yūñhī ġham-hā-e-rozgār kā bojh
kuchh apne dil ne sambhālā kuchh apne sar ne liyā
luTe to luT ke ye tauqīr bhī hamīñ ko milī
ga.e jidhar bhī hameñ sar pe rah-guzar ne liyā
jo shīsha TuuTā chunā dil ne reza reza use
jo rañg bikhrā vo palkoñ pe chashm-e-tar ne liyā
ham aise ḳhāna-ḳharāboñ se aur kyā miltā
bas ek lutf-e-tamāshā nazar nazar ne liyā
ye sochtā huuñ to Dastī hai aur shāḳh-e-chaman
sukūñ kā naam hī kyuuñ ik shikastā-par ne liyā
jo ghar meñ par-tav-e-zau thā use bujhā ga.ī raat
jo dil meñ virsa-e-ḳhūñ thā vo sab sahar ne liyā
ḳhayāl-e-be-ḳhabrāñ to bahut rahā un ko
patā kuchh apnā bhī yārān-e-bā-ḳhabar ne liyā
dil ashk ashk dimāġh aag aag hai 'mahshar'
ye intiqām bhī mujh se mire hunar ne liyā
malal ji pe na yun ek chaaragar ne liya
asar jo meri udasi ka baam-o-dar ne liya
baTa raha yunhi gham-ha-e-rozgar ka bojh
kuchh apne dil ne sambhaala kuchh apne sar ne liya
luTe to luT ke ye tauqir bhi hamin ko mili
gae jidhar bhi hamein sar pe rah-guzar ne liya
jo shisha TuTa chuna dil ne reza reza use
jo rang bikhra wo palkon pe chashm-e-tar ne liya
hum aise KHana-KHarabon se aur kya milta
bas ek lutf-e-tamasha nazar nazar ne liya
ye sochta hun to Dasti hai aur shaKH-e-chaman
sukun ka nam hi kyun ek shikasta-par ne liya
jo ghar mein par-taw-e-zau tha use bujha gai raat
jo dil mein wirsa-e-KHun tha wo sab sahar ne liya
KHayal-e-be-KHabran to bahut raha un ko
pata kuchh apna bhi yaran-e-ba-KHabar ne liya
dil ashk ashk dimagh aag aag hai 'mahshar'
ye intiqam bhi mujh se mere hunar ne liya
