thakan ko oDh ke bistar mein ja ke leT gae
thakan ko oḌh ke bistar meñ jā ke leT ga.e
ham apnī qabr-e-muqarrar meñ jā ke leT ga.e
tamām umr ham ik dūsre se laḌte rahe
magar mare to barābar meñ jā ke leT ga.e
hamārī tishna-nasībī kā haal mat pūchho
vo pyaas thī ki samundar meñ jā ke leT ga.e
na jaane kaisī thakan thī kabhī nahīñ utrī
chale jo ghar se to daftar meñ jā ke leT ga.e
ye bevaqūf unheñ maut se Darāte haiñ
jo ḳhud hī sāya-e-ḳhanjar meñ jā ke leT ga.e
tamām umr jo nikle na the havelī se
vo ek gumbad-e-be-dar meñ jā ke leT ga.e
sajā.e phirte the jhūTī anā jo chehroñ par
vo log qasr-e-sikandar meñ jā ke leT ga.e
sazā hamārī bhī kaaTī hai bāl-bachchoñ ne
ki ham udaas hue ghar meñ jā ke leT ga.e
thakan ko oDh ke bistar mein ja ke leT gae
hum apni qabr-e-muqarrar mein ja ke leT gae
tamam umr hum ek dusre se laDte rahe
magar mare to barabar mein ja ke leT gae
hamari tishna-nasibi ka haal mat puchho
wo pyas thi ki samundar mein ja ke leT gae
na jaane kaisi thakan thi kabhi nahin utri
chale jo ghar se to daftar mein ja ke leT gae
ye bewaquf unhen maut se Daraate hain
jo KHud hi saya-e-KHanjar mein ja ke leT gae
tamam umr jo nikle na the haweli se
wo ek gumbad-e-be-dar mein ja ke leT gae
sajae phirte the jhuTi ana jo chehron par
wo log qasr-e-sikandar mein ja ke leT gae
saza hamari bhi kaTi hai baal-bachchon ne
ki hum udas hue ghar mein ja ke leT gae
