phir wahi reg-e-bayaban ka hai manzar aur hum
phir vahī reg-e-bayābāñ kā hai manzar aur ham
phir muqābil meñ hai ik zālim kā lashkar aur ham
raat ko pichhle pahar koī bulātā hai hameñ
aur lipaT kar roz so jaate haiñ chādar aur ham
zaḳhm-e-sar kī dāstāñ ab yaad bhī aatī nahīñ
āshnā the kis qadar pahle ye patthar aur ham
ab to ik muddat se haiñ dīvār-o-dar kī qaid meñ
saath rahte the kabhī sahrā samundar aur ham
sirf bachchoñ kī mohabbat meñ ye rusvā.ī huī
varnā sāhil par banāte ret kā ghar aur ham
rāhgīroñ ne hameñ pahchān kar sikke diye
haath phailā.e khaḌe the jab sikandar aur ham
ye havelī bhī kabhī ābād to hogī magar
ab yahāñ muddat se rahte haiñ kabūtar aur ham
rahnumā.ī ke liye koī sitāra bhej de
kab talak bhaTkeñge yūñhī ḳhāk-bar-sar aur ham
phir wahi reg-e-bayaban ka hai manzar aur hum
phir muqabil mein hai ek zalim ka lashkar aur hum
raat ko pichhle pahar koi bulata hai hamein
aur lipaT kar roz so jate hain chadar aur hum
zaKHm-e-sar ki dastan ab yaad bhi aati nahin
aashna the kis qadar pahle ye patthar aur hum
ab to ek muddat se hain diwar-o-dar ki qaid mein
sath rahte the kabhi sahra samundar aur hum
sirf bachchon ki mohabbat mein ye ruswai hui
warna sahil par banate ret ka ghar aur hum
rahgiron ne hamein pahchan kar sikke diye
hath phailae khaDe the jab sikandar aur hum
ye haweli bhi kabhi aabaad to hogi magar
ab yahan muddat se rahte hain kabutar aur hum
rahnumai ke liye koi sitara bhej de
kab talak bhaTkenge yunhi KHak-bar-sar aur hum
