umr inkar ki diwar se sar phoDti hai
umr inkār kī dīvār se sar phoḌtī hai
ranj ye hai use aayā na salīqa apnā
ek din raat ke asrār khuleñge ham par
shak kī bauchhār se chhalnī huā siina apnā
ḳhurd-bīnoñ se ka.ī daaġh chhupā.e apne
ġham-gusāroñ ne koī bhed na paayā apnā
apnī khoī huī āvāz rasā.ī māñge
jaañ se uljhā hai koī naġhma rasīlā apnā
niiñd vo ret kī dīvār ki mismār huī
apnī āñkhoñ meñ chhupā rakkhā hai sahrā apnā
zindagī ek guzartī huī parchhā.īñ hai
ā.īna dekhtā rahtā hai tamāshā apnā
barg-e-āvāz ke mānind uḌeñge ye pahāḌ
ġharq ho jā.egā paanī meñ jazīra apnā
ḳhvāb dekhā thā ki ham hoñge bichhaḌne vaale
munhadim ho ga.e par ḳhvāb na TuuTā apnā
chāñd kī tarh ka.ī daaġh haiñ peshānī par
maut ke sāmne mahtāb hai chehrā apnā
umr inkar ki diwar se sar phoDti hai
ranj ye hai use aaya na saliqa apna
ek din raat ke asrar khulenge hum par
shak ki bauchhaar se chhalni hua sina apna
KHurd-binon se kai dagh chhupae apne
gham-gusaron ne koi bhed na paya apna
apni khoi hui aawaz rasai mange
jaan se uljha hai koi naghma rasila apna
nind wo ret ki diwar ki mismar hui
apni aankhon mein chhupa rakkha hai sahra apna
zindagi ek guzarti hui parchhain hai
aaina dekhta rahta hai tamasha apna
barg-e-awaz ke manind uDenge ye pahaD
gharq ho jaega pani mein jazira apna
KHwab dekha tha ki hum honge bichhaDne wale
munhadim ho gae par KHwab na TuTa apna
chand ki tarh kai dagh hain peshani par
maut ke samne mahtab hai chehra apna
