pattharon ke darmiyan bahti nadi achchhi lagi

pattharoñ ke darmiyāñ bahtī nadī achchhī lagī

jab hisār-e-ġham meñ guzrī zindagī achchhī lagī

ek patthar pheñkne par gaañv ke tālāb meñ

pur-sukūñ maujoñ kī aksar barhamī achchhī lagī

shab kī tanhā.ī meñ darvāze pe dastak daf.atan

ghup añdhere meñ achānak raushnī achchhī lagī

baḳhshtī hai chāñdnī kohre ko bhī tābāniyāñ

us ke chehre par udāsī hī sahī achchhī lagī

jis tarah chāhā tasavvur ne tarāshā vo badan

bistar-e-ehsās par us kī kamī achchhī lagī

darmiyāñ kāñToñ ke bhī shādāb the masrūr the

jaane kyoñ phūloñ kī ye shā.istagī achchhī lagī

ab ke ham bhaTke to rāh-e-rāst par aa jā.eñge

sīdhe rāste se 'moazzam' gumrāhī achchhī laggī

pattharon ke darmiyan bahti nadi achchhi lagi

jab hisar-e-gham mein guzri zindagi achchhi lagi

ek patthar phenkne par ganw ke talab mein

pur-sukun maujon ki aksar barhami achchhi lagi

shab ki tanhai mein darwaze pe dastak dafatan

ghup andhere mein achanak raushni achchhi lagi

baKHshti hai chandni kohre ko bhi tabaniyan

us ke chehre par udasi hi sahi achchhi lagi

jis tarah chaha tasawwur ne tarasha wo badan

bistar-e-ehsas par us ki kami achchhi lagi

darmiyan kanTon ke bhi shadab the masrur the

jaane kyon phulon ki ye shaistagi achchhi lagi

ab ke hum bhaTke to rah-e-rast par aa jaenge

sidhe raste se 'moazzam' gumrahi achchhi laggi
