miTti hui tahzib se nafrat na kiya kar
miTtī huī tahzīb se nafrat na kiyā kar
chaupāl pe būḌhoñ kī kahānī bhī sunā kar
mā'lūm huā hai ye parindoñ kī zabānī
tham jā.egā tūfān daraḳhtoñ ko girā kar
pītal ke kaTore bhī nahīñ apne gharoñ meñ
ḳhairāt meñ chāñdī kā taqāzā na kiyā kar
mumkin hai garebānoñ meñ ḳhanjar bhī chhupe hoñ
tū shahr-e-amāñ meñ bhī na be-ḳhauf phirā kar
māñge hue sūraj se to behtar hai añdherā
tū mere liye apne ḳhudā se na duā kar
tahrīr kā ye āḳhirī rishta bhī gayā TuuT
tanhā huuñ maiñ kitnā tire maktūb jalā kar
aatī haiñ agar raat ko rone kī sadā.eñ
ham-sā.e kā ahvāl kabhī pūchh liyā kar
vo qaht-e-ziyā hai ki mire shahr ke kuchh log
jugnū ko liye phirte haiñ muTThī meñ dabā kar
miTti hui tahzib se nafrat na kiya kar
chaupal pe buDhon ki kahani bhi suna kar
ma'lum hua hai ye parindon ki zabani
tham jaega tufan daraKHton ko gira kar
pital ke kaTore bhi nahin apne gharon mein
KHairaat mein chandi ka taqaza na kiya kar
mumkin hai garebanon mein KHanjar bhi chhupe hon
tu shahr-e-aman mein bhi na be-KHauf phira kar
mange hue suraj se to behtar hai andhera
tu mere liye apne KHuda se na dua kar
tahrir ka ye aaKHiri rishta bhi gaya TuT
tanha hun main kitna tere maktub jala kar
aati hain agar raat ko rone ki sadaen
ham-sae ka ahwal kabhi puchh liya kar
wo qaht-e-ziya hai ki mere shahr ke kuchh log
jugnu ko liye phirte hain muTThi mein daba kar
