palkon pe ruka qatra-e-muztar ki tarah hun
palkoñ pe rukā qatra-e-muztar kī tarah huuñ
bāhar se bhī bechain maiñ andar kī tarah huuñ
bāhar se mire jism kī dīvār khaḌī hai
andar se maiñ ik TuuTe hue ghar kī tarah huuñ
nazroñ se girā do ki mujhe devtā maano
patthar ke tarāshe hue paikar kī tarah huuñ
chhā.ī haiñ mire sar pe siyah-posh ghaTā.eñ
maiñ sub.h meñ bhī shaam ke manzar kī tarah huuñ
andar kī chaTānoñ se na Takrā ke bikhar jā.ūñ
maiñ biphrā huā ḳhud pe samundar kī tarah huuñ
tum jalva-numā ho to khulī haiñ mirī āñkheñ
aa lipTo badan se to maiñ chādar kī tarah huuñ
rahtā hai kahīñ jism bhaTaktī hai kahīñ ruuh
ghar meñ huuñ magar aaj maiñ be-ghar kī tarah huuñ
aqdār kī uThtī huī dīvār meñ chun lo
raste meñ paḌā maiñ kisī patthar kī tarah huuñ
palkon pe ruka qatra-e-muztar ki tarah hun
bahar se bhi bechain main andar ki tarah hun
bahar se mere jism ki diwar khaDi hai
andar se main ek TuTe hue ghar ki tarah hun
nazron se gira do ki mujhe dewta mano
patthar ke tarashe hue paikar ki tarah hun
chhai hain mere sar pe siyah-posh ghaTaen
main subh mein bhi sham ke manzar ki tarah hun
andar ki chaTanon se na Takra ke bikhar jaun
main biphra hua KHud pe samundar ki tarah hun
tum jalwa-numa ho to khuli hain meri aankhen
aa lipTo badan se to main chadar ki tarah hun
rahta hai kahin jism bhaTakti hai kahin ruh
ghar mein hun magar aaj main be-ghar ki tarah hun
aqdar ki uThti hui diwar mein chun lo
raste mein paDa main kisi patthar ki tarah hun
