dil-e-azada-rau mein wo tamanna thi bayaban ki
dil-e-āzāda-rau meñ vo tamannā thī bayābāñ kī
qadam rakhte hī shaq hone lagī dīvār zindāñ kī
ḳhudā kī rahmateñ ai mutrib-e-rañgīñ-navā tujh par
ki har kāñTe meñ tū ne ruuh dauḌā dī gulistāñ kī
ye sābit kar diyā tujh ko banā kar dast-e-qudrat ne
ki ho saktī haiñ itnī ḳhūbiyāñ sūrat meñ insāñ kī
nasīm-e-sub.h ThanDī saañs bhartī hai mazāroñ par
udāsī muñh-añdhere dekhiye gor-e-ġharībāñ kī
ye aalam kyā hai ik majmūa hai nāchīz zarroñ kā
ye duniyā kyā hai ik tarkīb ajzā-e-pareshāñ kī
havāoñ ke vo jhoñke vo khule maidān kī sardī
vo lahreñ chāñd se ruḳhsār par zulf-e-pareshāñ kī
hamārī zindagī kyā silsila ik dil dhaḌakne kā
hamārī maut kyā jumbish hai ik jazbāt-e-pinhāñ kī
banā deñgī yaqīñ hai 'josh' mard-e-bā-ḳhudā ik din
tapish-andoziyāñ siine meñ barq-e-soz-e-pinhāñ kī
dil-e-azada-rau mein wo tamanna thi bayaban ki
qadam rakhte hi shaq hone lagi diwar zindan ki
KHuda ki rahmaten ai mutrib-e-rangin-nawa tujh par
ki har kanTe mein tu ne ruh dauDa di gulistan ki
ye sabit kar diya tujh ko bana kar dast-e-qudrat ne
ki ho sakti hain itni KHubiyan surat mein insan ki
nasim-e-subh ThanDi sans bharti hai mazaron par
udasi munh-andhere dekhiye gor-e-ghariban ki
ye aalam kya hai ek majmua hai nachiz zarron ka
ye duniya kya hai ek tarkib ajza-e-pareshan ki
hawaon ke wo jhonke wo khule maidan ki sardi
wo lahren chand se ruKHsar par zulf-e-pareshan ki
hamari zindagi kya silsila ek dil dhaDakne ka
hamari maut kya jumbish hai ek jazbaat-e-pinhan ki
bana dengi yaqin hai 'josh' mard-e-ba-KHuda ek din
tapish-andoziyan sine mein barq-e-soz-e-pinhan ki
