raaton ke andheron mein ye log ajab nikle
rātoñ ke añdheroñ meñ ye log ajab nikle
sab nām-o-nasab vaale be-nām-o-nasab nikle
ta.amīr-pasandī ne kuchh ziist par uksāyā
kuchh maut ke sāmāñ bhī jiine kā sab nikle
ye nuur ke saudāgar ḳhud nuur se aarī haiñ
gardūñ pe mah-o-anjum tanvīr-talab nikle
ye dasht ye sahrā sab vīrān haiñ barsoñ se
is samt bhī dīvāna takbīr ba-lab nikle
tahzīb kī bebākī aisī to na thī pahle
ham jab bhī kahīñ nikle tā-hadd-e-adab nikle
taskīñ ke liye ham ne jin se bhī guzārish kī
ham se bhī ziyāda vo taskīn-talab nikle
hastī kī masāfat meñ apnā jinheñ samjhā thā
jab vaqt paḌā 'farhat' vo mohr-ba-lab nikle
raaton ke andheron mein ye log ajab nikle
sab nam-o-nasab wale be-nam-o-nasab nikle
tamir-pasandi ne kuchh zist par uksaya
kuchh maut ke saman bhi jine ka sab nikle
ye nur ke saudagar KHud nur se aari hain
gardun pe mah-o-anjum tanwir-talab nikle
ye dasht ye sahra sab viran hain barson se
is samt bhi diwana takbir ba-lab nikle
tahzib ki bebaki aisi to na thi pahle
hum jab bhi kahin nikle ta-hadd-e-adab nikle
taskin ke liye hum ne jin se bhi guzarish ki
hum se bhi ziyaada wo taskin-talab nikle
hasti ki masafat mein apna jinhen samjha tha
jab waqt paDa 'farhat' wo mohr-ba-lab nikle
