sukun-e-qalb kisi ko nahin mayassar aaj
sukūn-e-qalb kisī ko nahīñ mayassar aaj
shikast-e-ḳhvāb hai har shaḳhs kā muqaddar aaj
hai vaz-e-hāl mirī kyuuñ ye bad se bad-tar aaj
amīr-e-shahr ke badle hue haiñ tevar aaj
har ek shaḳhs hai apne hisār meñ mahsūr
hai sab ke darpai āzār vo sitamgar aaj
kiyā hai gardish-e-daurāñ ne dar-ba-dar sab ko
jo sar meñ pahle thā vo paañv meñ hai chakkar aaj
samajh rahā thā jise ḳhair-ḳhvāh maiñ apnā
vahī hai dushman-e-jāñ merā sab se baḌh kar aaj
fasīl-e-shahr ke andar the kitne ahl-e-hunar
nahīñ hai jin se shanāsā koī bhī bāhar aaj
vo dars lete nahīñ jañg-e-karbalā se koī
jo saf-shikan the vo haiñ dushmanoñ se shashdar aaj
vo qaum kaise taraqqī karegī duniyā meñ
nahīñ hai jis kā kahīñ koī ek rahbar aaj
bikhar ke rah gayā ḳhud jin kā apnā shīrāza
samajh rahe haiñ ki haiñ vaqt ke sikandar aaj
agar muhāsba apnā kareñ to pā.eñge
nahīñ hai ham se jahāñ meñ koī bhī bad-tar aaj
jo apne haath se kashtī jalāte the apnī
nahīñ mileñge kahīñ aise vo qalandar aaj
dikhā rahā hai mujhe sabz-bāġh jo 'barqī'
vo le ke phirtā hai kyuuñ āstīñ meñ ḳhanjar aaj
sukun-e-qalb kisi ko nahin mayassar aaj
shikast-e-KHwab hai har shaKHs ka muqaddar aaj
hai waz-e-haal meri kyun ye bad se bad-tar aaj
amir-e-shahr ke badle hue hain tewar aaj
har ek shaKHs hai apne hisar mein mahsur
hai sab ke darpai aazar wo sitamgar aaj
kiya hai gardish-e-dauran ne dar-ba-dar sab ko
jo sar mein pahle tha wo panw mein hai chakkar aaj
samajh raha tha jise KHair-KHwah main apna
wahi hai dushman-e-jaan mera sab se baDh kar aaj
fasil-e-shahr ke andar the kitne ahl-e-hunar
nahin hai jin se shanasa koi bhi bahar aaj
wo dars lete nahin jang-e-karbala se koi
jo saf-shikan the wo hain dushmanon se shashdar aaj
wo qaum kaise taraqqi karegi duniya mein
nahin hai jis ka kahin koi ek rahbar aaj
bikhar ke rah gaya KHud jin ka apna shiraaza
samajh rahe hain ki hain waqt ke sikandar aaj
agar muhasba apna karen to paenge
nahin hai hum se jahan mein koi bhi bad-tar aaj
jo apne hath se kashti jalate the apni
nahin milenge kahin aise wo qalandar aaj
dikha raha hai mujhe sabz-bagh jo 'barqi'
wo le ke phirta hai kyun aastin mein KHanjar aaj
