tamannaen aziyyat ka nazara hum na kahte the
tamannā.eñ aziyyat kā nazāra ham na kahte the
ḳhasārā hai ḳhasārā hī ḳhasārā ham na kahte the
tumhārī intihā.eñ ant par be-sūd niklī haiñ
samundar jitnā gahrā utnā khārā ham na kahte the
na tū bandoñ se hai raazī na bande tujh se raazī haiñ
ḳhudā.ī rog hai parvardigārā ham na kahte the
ye maidān-e-tag-dau hai mashaqqat hī mashaqqat hai
vahī jītegā jo sau baar haarā ham na kahte the
ġhulāmī ko to āzādī samajhte haiñ yahāñ insāñ
ye hathkaḌiyoñ meñ kar leñge guzārā ham na kahte the
chunā thā tū ne jo rasta use ham tark kar aa.e
siyānoñ ko hai kaafī ik ishārā ham na kahte the
sabhī ne apne tinke bhī bil-āḳhir ḳhud uThā.e haiñ
nahīñ hogā yahāñ koī sahārā ham na kahte the
na 'zīshān' āgahī puurī huī umreñ huiiñ puurī
na hogā ilm kā koī kinārā ham na kahte the
tamannaen aziyyat ka nazara hum na kahte the
KHasara hai KHasara hi KHasara hum na kahte the
tumhaari intihaen ant par be-sud nikli hain
samundar jitna gahra utna khaara hum na kahte the
na tu bandon se hai raazi na bande tujh se raazi hain
KHudai rog hai parwardigara hum na kahte the
ye maidan-e-tag-dau hai mashaqqat hi mashaqqat hai
wahi jitega jo sau bar haara hum na kahte the
ghulami ko to aazadi samajhte hain yahan insan
ye hathkaDiyon mein kar lenge guzara hum na kahte the
chuna tha tu ne jo rasta use hum tark kar aae
siyanon ko hai kafi ek ishaara hum na kahte the
sabhi ne apne tinke bhi bil-aKHir KHud uThae hain
nahin hoga yahan koi sahaara hum na kahte the
na 'zishan' aagahi puri hui umren huin puri
na hoga ilm ka koi kinara hum na kahte the
