sahra base hue the hamari nigah mein
sahrā base hue the hamārī nigāh meñ
ḳhema lagā na paa.e ham āb-o-giyāh meñ
sadiyāñ hamārī raah ko roke khaḌī rahīñ
aur zindagī guzartī rahī sāl-o-māh meñ
bas jaate ham kahīñ bhī samundar ke darmiyāñ
aayā magar na koī jazīra hī raah meñ
ik baar haath lag ga.e us andhī bhiiḌ ke
vāpas na lauT paa.e ham apnī panāh meñ
vaqt aur maqām se na kabhī ham guzar sake
guzre maqām-o-vaqt faqat rasm-o-rāh meñ
kuchh der zer-e-pā jo Thahartī koī zamīñ
ham bhī qayām karte kisī jā.e-gāh meñ
'betāb' pastiyoñ se nikal hī na paa.e ham
kyā kyā bulandiyāñ thiiñ hamārī nigāh meñ
sahra base hue the hamari nigah mein
KHema laga na pae hum aab-o-giyah mein
sadiyan hamari rah ko roke khaDi rahin
aur zindagi guzarti rahi sal-o-mah mein
bas jate hum kahin bhi samundar ke darmiyan
aaya magar na koi jazira hi rah mein
ek bar hath lag gae us andhi bhiD ke
wapas na lauT pae hum apni panah mein
waqt aur maqam se na kabhi hum guzar sake
guzre maqam-o-waqt faqat rasm-o-rah mein
kuchh der zer-e-pa jo Thaharti koi zamin
hum bhi qayam karte kisi jae-gah mein
'betab' pastiyon se nikal hi na pae hum
kya kya bulandiyan thin hamari nigah mein
