numu to pahle bhi tha iztirab maine diya
numū to pahle bhī thā iztirāb maiñ ne diyā
phir us ke zulm-o-sitam kā javāb maiñ ne diyā
vo ek Dūbtī āvāz-e-bāz-gasht ki aa
savāl maiñ ne kiyā thā javāb maiñ ne diyā
vo aa rahā thā magar maiñ nikal gayā kahīñ aur
so zaḳhm-e-hijr se baḌh kar azaab maiñ ne diyā
agarche hoñToñ pe paanī kī buuñd bhī nahīñ thī
sulagte lamhoñ ko ek sail-e-āb maiñ ne diyā
khulā hai pahlu-e-pur-josh be-muhābā aa
ik aur mashvara-e-inqilāb maiñ ne diyā
ye mujh se girya-e-bebāk kyuuñ nahīñ hotā
to apne dard ko ḳhud pech-o-tāb maiñ ne diyā
naḳhīl-o-kisht ko sairāb maiñ nahīñ kartā
zamīñ ko qarz magar be-hisāb maiñ ne diyā
badan ḳhud apnī hī tajsīm kar nahīñ paate
qarīb aayā to āñkhoñ ko ḳhvāb maiñ ne diyā
numu to pahle bhi tha iztirab main ne diya
phir us ke zulm-o-sitam ka jawab main ne diya
wo ek Dubti aawaz-e-baz-gasht ki aa
sawal main ne kiya tha jawab main ne diya
wo aa raha tha magar main nikal gaya kahin aur
so zaKHm-e-hijr se baDh kar azab main ne diya
agarche honTon pe pani ki bund bhi nahin thi
sulagte lamhon ko ek sail-e-ab main ne diya
khula hai pahlu-e-pur-josh be-muhaba aa
ek aur mashwara-e-inqilab main ne diya
ye mujh se girya-e-bebak kyun nahin hota
to apne dard ko KHud pech-o-tab main ne diya
naKHil-o-kisht ko sairab main nahin karta
zamin ko qarz magar be-hisab main ne diya
badan KHud apni hi tajsim kar nahin pate
qarib aaya to aankhon ko KHwab main ne diya
