nazar aate nahin hain bahr mein hum
nazar aate nahīñ haiñ bahr meñ ham
ya.anī rahte haiñ apnī lahr meñ ham
khul rahe haiñ bañdhe hue pul se
ghul rahe haiñ ḳhud apne zahr meñ ham
hai qafas bhī tilism-ḳhāna-e-ḳhvāb
aa ga.e ek aur shahr meñ ham
kisī zindāñ meñ sochnā hai abas
dahr ham meñ hai yā ki dahr meñ ham
ho ga.ī raat so leñ kuchh sardār
jaag uTTheñge pichhle pahr meñ ham
ham haiñ maqtal meñ aur qātil ġham
kaise laa.e ga.e the qahr meñ ham
ab jagā.egī yaad us kī 'zafar'
chhoḌ aa.e jo niiñd nahr meñ ham
nazar aate nahin hain bahr mein hum
yani rahte hain apni lahr mein hum
khul rahe hain bandhe hue pul se
ghul rahe hain KHud apne zahr mein hum
hai qafas bhi tilism-KHana-e-KHwab
aa gae ek aur shahr mein hum
kisi zindan mein sochna hai abas
dahr hum mein hai ya ki dahr mein hum
ho gai raat so len kuchh sardar
jag uTThenge pichhle pahr mein hum
hum hain maqtal mein aur qatil gham
kaise lae gae the qahr mein hum
ab jagaegi yaad us ki 'zafar'
chhoD aae jo nind nahr mein hum
