sar-ba-sar badla hua dekha tha kal yar ka rang
sar-ba-sar badlā huā dekhā thā kal yaar kā rañg
ḳhuub pahnā hai nayā us ne bhī is baar kā rañg
sūkhe pattoñ kī tarah uḌtā huā duur talak
maiñ ne jaate hue dekhā mire kirdār kā rañg
ab jo aayā huuñ to ḳhāmosh to jā.ūñgā nahīñ
ab uḌā kar ke hī jā.ūñgā maiñ do chaar kā rañg
koī kah de ki jhukā do to jhukā duuñ maiñ sar
itnā kachchā bhī nahīñ hai mirī dastār kā rañg
koī pūchhegā to ab khul ke batā saktā huuñ
mere dildār sā hotā hai jī dildār kā rañg
bāñdh kar maiñ ne badan yaad ke dhāgoñ se kabhī
muddatoñ rusvā kiyā rūh-e-talabgār kā rañg
aur phir lauT ke vāpas hī nahīñ jā paa.e
dekhne aa.e the ham bhī kabhī is paar kā rañg
lauT to aa.ī hai sāhil pe magar ḳhauf meñ hai
kashtī kī aañkh se utrā nahīñ mañjhdār kā rañg
chāragar ḳhud hai pareshān ke 'sāvan' kaise
badlā bīmār ne bīmār se bīmār kā rañg
sar-ba-sar badla hua dekha tha kal yar ka rang
KHub pahna hai naya us ne bhi is bar ka rang
sukhe patton ki tarah uDta hua dur talak
main ne jate hue dekha mere kirdar ka rang
ab jo aaya hun to KHamosh to jaunga nahin
ab uDa kar ke hi jaunga main do chaar ka rang
koi kah de ki jhuka do to jhuka dun main sar
itna kachcha bhi nahin hai meri dastar ka rang
koi puchhega to ab khul ke bata sakta hun
mere dildar sa hota hai ji dildar ka rang
bandh kar main ne badan yaad ke dhagon se kabhi
muddaton ruswa kiya ruh-e-talabgar ka rang
aur phir lauT ke wapas hi nahin ja pae
dekhne aae the hum bhi kabhi is par ka rang
lauT to aai hai sahil pe magar KHauf mein hai
kashti ki aankh se utra nahin manjhdar ka rang
chaaragar KHud hai pareshan ke 'sawan' kaise
badla bimar ne bimar se bimar ka rang
