rida-e-ahani har aadmi ke sar par hai
ridā-e-āhanī har aadmī ke sar par hai
ki jaise sañg kī bārish isī nagar par hai
na kho jo muTThī meñ uñglī kisī kī ham-safaro
hamārā qāfila anjānī rahguzar par hai
bachā rahā thā jo kal raat kaalī āñdhī se
vo phal chaḌhā huā har shaḳhs kī nazar par hai
vo kaun roī thī kājal lagā ke āñkhoñ meñ
ye dhabba dhabba siyāhī ruḳh-e-sahar par hai
shikasta-hālī pe har iiñT jin kī hañstī hai
unheñ ġhurūr usī TuuTe phūTe ghar par hai
kab ehtirām kī ḳhātir jhukī mirī gardan
ki ik laTaktī sī talvār mere sar par hai
sadā lagā ke kabhī kā chalā gayā koī
ye bāzgasht sadā kyuuñ tumhāre dar par hai
zarā pata to lagā.eñ lahū hai kyuuñ taaza
jo ik zamāne se mahloñ ke is khañDar par hai
chhupā.e rakhnā thā aise ḳhushī ke mauqe par
vo ek daaġh jo peshānī-e-zafar par hai
baḌā hī ḳhauf lagā rahtā hai phisalne kā
safar hamārā abhī giilī rahguzar par hai
maiñ jhuuT kaise kahūñ sach to kah nahīñ saktā
kuchh hāshiya bhī lagā raat kī ḳhabar par hai
rida-e-ahani har aadmi ke sar par hai
ki jaise sang ki barish isi nagar par hai
na kho jo muTThi mein ungli kisi ki ham-safaro
hamara qafila anjaani rahguzar par hai
bacha raha tha jo kal raat kali aandhi se
wo phal chaDha hua har shaKHs ki nazar par hai
wo kaun roi thi kajal laga ke aankhon mein
ye dhabba dhabba siyahi ruKH-e-sahar par hai
shikasta-haali pe har inT jin ki hansti hai
unhen ghurur usi TuTe phuTe ghar par hai
kab ehtiram ki KHatir jhuki meri gardan
ki ek laTakti si talwar mere sar par hai
sada laga ke kabhi ka chala gaya koi
ye bazgasht sada kyun tumhaare dar par hai
zara pata to lagaen lahu hai kyun taza
jo ek zamane se mahlon ke is khanDar par hai
chhupae rakhna tha aise KHushi ke mauqe par
wo ek dagh jo peshani-e-zafar par hai
baDa hi KHauf laga rahta hai phisalne ka
safar hamara abhi gili rahguzar par hai
main jhuT kaise kahun sach to kah nahin sakta
kuchh hashiya bhi laga raat ki KHabar par hai
