subh tak jin se bahut bezar ho jata hun main
sub.h tak jin se bahut bezār ho jaatā huuñ maiñ
raat hote hī unhī galiyoñ meñ kho jaatā huuñ maiñ
ḳhvāb meñ gum huuñ ki bāhar kī fazā achchhī nahīñ
aañkh khulte hī kahīñ zanjīr ho jaatā huuñ maiñ
khīñch laatī hai usī kūche meñ phir āvārgī
roz jis kūche se apne shahr ko jaatā huuñ maiñ
is añdhere meñ charāġh-e-ḳhvāb kī ḳhvāhish nahīñ
ye bhī kyā kam hai ki thoḌī der so jaatā huuñ maiñ
raat laatī hai kisī ke qurb kī ḳhvāhish magar
sub.h hote hī kisī se duur ho jaatā huuñ maiñ
jī meñ aatā hai ki duniyā ko badalnā chāhiye
aur apne aap se māyūs ho jaatā huuñ maiñ
baare bāġh-e-sehn-e-duniyā meñ bahut din rah liyā
ḳhush raho ab is galī se dosto jaatā huuñ maiñ
subh tak jin se bahut bezar ho jata hun main
raat hote hi unhi galiyon mein kho jata hun main
KHwab mein gum hun ki bahar ki faza achchhi nahin
aankh khulte hi kahin zanjir ho jata hun main
khinch lati hai usi kuche mein phir aawargi
roz jis kuche se apne shahr ko jata hun main
is andhere mein charagh-e-KHwab ki KHwahish nahin
ye bhi kya kam hai ki thoDi der so jata hun main
raat lati hai kisi ke qurb ki KHwahish magar
subh hote hi kisi se dur ho jata hun main
ji mein aata hai ki duniya ko badalna chahiye
aur apne aap se mayus ho jata hun main
bare bagh-e-sehn-e-duniya mein bahut din rah liya
KHush raho ab is gali se dosto jata hun main
