usne puchha bhi magar haal chhupae gae hum
us ne pūchhā bhī magar haal chhupā.e ga.e ham
apne hī aap meñ ik hashr uThā.e ga.e ham
zindagī dekh ki ehsān tire kitne haiñ
dil ke har daaġh ko ā.īna banā.e ga.e ham
phir vahī shaam vahī dard vahī apnā junūñ
jaane kyā yaad thī vo jis ko bhulā.e ga.e ham
kin darīchoñ ke charāġhoñ se hameñ nisbat thī
ki abhī jal nahīñ paa.e ki bujhā.e ga.e ham
umr bhar hādse hī karte rahe istiqbāl
vaqt aisā thā ki siine se lagā.e ga.e ham
rāste dauḌe chale jaate haiñ kin samtoñ ko
dhuup meñ jalte rahe saa.e bichhā.e ga.e ham
dasht-dar-dasht bikharte chale jaate haiñ 'shanās'
jaane kis ālam-e-vahshat meñ uThā.e ga.e ham
us ne puchha bhi magar haal chhupae gae hum
apne hi aap mein ek hashr uThae gae hum
zindagi dekh ki ehsan tere kitne hain
dil ke har dagh ko aaina banae gae hum
phir wahi sham wahi dard wahi apna junun
jaane kya yaad thi wo jis ko bhulae gae hum
kin darichon ke charaghon se hamein nisbat thi
ki abhi jal nahin pae ki bujhae gae hum
umr bhar hadse hi karte rahe istiqbaal
waqt aisa tha ki sine se lagae gae hum
raste dauDe chale jate hain kin samton ko
dhup mein jalte rahe sae bichhae gae hum
dasht-dar-dasht bikharte chale jate hain 'shanas'
jaane kis aalam-e-wahshat mein uThae gae hum
