tufan hi nahin ghat mein hon jis ke bhanwar bhi
tūfāñ hī nahīñ ghaat meñ hoñ jis ke bhañvar bhī
milte haiñ usī gahre samundar se guhar bhī
sahtā hai jo ik habs-e-musalsal kī girānī
hotā hai usī shahr se āñdhī kā guzar bhī
yuuñ pyaar hai us se ki faqat maiñ hī nahīñ huuñ
miTTī se bane haiñ mire dīvār bhī dar bhī
gur diip jilā kar use āgāh na kartā
mahfūz thā har shab kī havā se mirā ghar bhī
āñkhoñ se magar raat kā patthar nahīñ haTtā
ta.abīr to rakhtā hai mirā ḳhvāb-e-sahar bhī
julte haiñ kaḌī dhuup meñ kyuuñ apne hī āñgan
sūraj to yahī hai jo ubhartā hai udhar bhī
nisbat hai hameñ aise qabīle se ki jis ke
nezoñ pe sadā dete haiñ be jism ke sar bhī
kuchh soch ke vo bāb-e-qafas khol rahā hai
kal tak thī girāñ jis pe mirī jumbish-e-par bhī
ham log faqat dasht-navardī nahīñ karte
aatā hai hameñ shahr basāne kā hunar bhī
tufan hi nahin ghat mein hon jis ke bhanwar bhi
milte hain usi gahre samundar se guhar bhi
sahta hai jo ek habs-e-musalsal ki girani
hota hai usi shahr se aandhi ka guzar bhi
yun pyar hai us se ki faqat main hi nahin hun
miTTi se bane hain mere diwar bhi dar bhi
gur dip jila kar use aagah na karta
mahfuz tha har shab ki hawa se mera ghar bhi
aankhon se magar raat ka patthar nahin haTta
tabir to rakhta hai mera KHwab-e-sahar bhi
julte hain kaDi dhup mein kyun apne hi aangan
suraj to yahi hai jo ubharta hai udhar bhi
nisbat hai hamein aise qabile se ki jis ke
nezon pe sada dete hain be jism ke sar bhi
kuchh soch ke wo bab-e-qafas khol raha hai
kal tak thi giran jis pe meri jumbish-e-par bhi
hum log faqat dasht-nawardi nahin karte
aata hai hamein shahr basane ka hunar bhi
