tair ke liye din raat ka Dar
taa.ir ke liye din raat kā Dar
dahlīz pe rizq aur taaq meñ ghar
sab rauzan-e-zindāñ band hue
yā kuchh na rahā zindāñ se udhar
bāhar ye qadam nikleñ to khule
zanjīr madad kartī hai ki dar
maqtal kī zamīñ se phuul ugeñ
jaatā hai kahīñ miTTī kā asar
niiñd aatī hai us ke saa.e meñ
gir jaa.e ye dīvār agar
ham sog haiñ jaage sapnoñ kā
ai raat hameñ mahsūs na kar
jalvaoñ se bahut nazdīk ho tum
ai bul-havso dāman pe nazar
hai apnā qayām is aalam meñ
shabnam kā baserā kāñTe par
yā sirf Dagar thī vaqt na thā
ab sirf hai vaqt kā naam Dagar
kuchh apnī pyāseñ bujh bhī ga.iiñ
kuchh qarz haiñ dariyā-noshoñ par
tair ke liye din raat ka Dar
dahliz pe rizq aur taq mein ghar
sab rauzan-e-zindan band hue
ya kuchh na raha zindan se udhar
bahar ye qadam niklen to khule
zanjir madad karti hai ki dar
maqtal ki zamin se phul ugen
jata hai kahin miTTi ka asar
nind aati hai us ke sae mein
gir jae ye diwar agar
hum sog hain jage sapnon ka
ai raat hamein mahsus na kar
jalwaon se bahut nazdik ho tum
ai bul-hawso daman pe nazar
hai apna qayam is aalam mein
shabnam ka basera kanTe par
ya sirf Dagar thi waqt na tha
ab sirf hai waqt ka nam Dagar
kuchh apni pyasen bujh bhi gain
kuchh qarz hain dariya-noshon par
