shahr ke diwar-o-dar par rut ki zardi chhai thi
shahr ke dīvār-o-dar par rut kī zardī chhā.ī thī
har shajar har peḌ kī qismat meñ ab tanhā.ī thī
jiine vāloñ kā muqaddar shohrateñ bantī rahīñ
marne vāloñ ke liye ab dasht kī tanhā.ī thī
chashm-poshī kā kisī zī-hosh ko yaarā na thā
rut salīb-o-dār kī is shahr meñ phir aa.ī thī
maiñ ne zulmat ke fusūñ se bhāgnā chāhā magar
mere pīchhe bhāgtī phirtī mirī rusvā.ī thī
bārishoñ kī rut meñ koī kyā likhe āḳhir 'sa.īd'
lafz ke chehroñ kī rañgat bhī bahut dhundlā.ī thī
shahr ke diwar-o-dar par rut ki zardi chhai thi
har shajar har peD ki qismat mein ab tanhai thi
jine walon ka muqaddar shohraten banti rahin
marne walon ke liye ab dasht ki tanhai thi
chashm-poshi ka kisi zi-hosh ko yara na tha
rut salib-o-dar ki is shahr mein phir aai thi
main ne zulmat ke fusun se bhagna chaha magar
mere pichhe bhagti phirti meri ruswai thi
barishon ki rut mein koi kya likhe aaKHir 'said'
lafz ke chehron ki rangat bhi bahut dhundlai thi
