puchho agar to karte hain inkar sab ke sab
pūchho agar to karte haiñ inkār sab ke sab
sach ye ki haiñ hayāt se bezār sab ke sab
apnī ḳhabar kisī ko nahīñ phir bhī jaane kyuuñ
paḌhte haiñ roz shahr meñ aḳhbār sab ke sab
thā ek maiñ jo shart-e-vafā toḌtā rahā
hālāñki bā-vafā the mire yaar sab ke sab
socho to nafratoñ kā zaḳhīra hai ek dil
karte haiñ yuuñ to pyaar kā iz.hār sab ke sab
zindāñ koī qarīb nahīñ aur na raqs-gāh
sunte haiñ ik ajiib sī jhankār sab ke sab
maidān-e-jañg aane se pahle palaT ga.e
nikle the le ke haath meñ talvār sab ke sab
zehnoñ meñ khaultā thā jo laavā vo jam gayā
maflūj ho ke rah ga.e fankār sab ke sab
puchho agar to karte hain inkar sab ke sab
sach ye ki hain hayat se bezar sab ke sab
apni KHabar kisi ko nahin phir bhi jaane kyun
paDhte hain roz shahr mein aKHbar sab ke sab
tha ek main jo shart-e-wafa toDta raha
haalanki ba-wafa the mere yar sab ke sab
socho to nafraton ka zaKHira hai ek dil
karte hain yun to pyar ka izhaar sab ke sab
zindan koi qarib nahin aur na raqs-gah
sunte hain ek ajib si jhankar sab ke sab
maidan-e-jang aane se pahle palaT gae
nikle the le ke hath mein talwar sab ke sab
zehnon mein khaulta tha jo lawa wo jam gaya
mafluj ho ke rah gae fankar sab ke sab
