wo baat jis se ye Dar tha khuli to jaan legi
vo baat jis se ye Dar thā khulī to jaañ legī
so ab ye dekhiye jā ke vo dam kahāñ legī
milegī jalne se fursat hameñ to socheñge
panāh raakh hamārī kahāñ kahāñ legī
ye aag jis ne jalā.e haiñ shahroñ jañgal sab
kabhī bujhegī to ye sūrat-e-ḳhizāñ legī
ye din jo thā ye rahā haiñ gavāh va.adoñ kā
ye shab jo hai tire da.avoñ kā imtihāñ legī
utar ga.ī hai mire jism meñ jo ye vahshat
nikalte vaqt yahī umr-e-jāvedāñ legī
zarā sī ḳhaak lahū de ke mutma.in haiñ kyuuñ
abhī to rāh-e-safar rahravoñ ki jaañ legī
vasī.a itnī hai uryāniyat ye jaañ kī dekh
badan ke dhakne ko ye kitne āsmāñ legī
burīda sar kiye jā.eñge sab javāñ kirdār
vo chehra dekhnā 'ātif' ye dāstāñ legī
wo baat jis se ye Dar tha khuli to jaan legi
so ab ye dekhiye ja ke wo dam kahan legi
milegi jalne se fursat hamein to sochenge
panah rakh hamari kahan kahan legi
ye aag jis ne jalae hain shahron jangal sab
kabhi bujhegi to ye surat-e-KHizan legi
ye din jo tha ye raha hain gawah wadon ka
ye shab jo hai tere dawon ka imtihan legi
utar gai hai mere jism mein jo ye wahshat
nikalte waqt yahi umr-e-jawedan legi
zara si KHak lahu de ke mutmain hain kyun
abhi to rah-e-safar rahrawon ki jaan legi
wasia itni hai uryaniyat ye jaan ki dekh
badan ke dhakne ko ye kitne aasman legi
burida sar kiye jaenge sab jawan kirdar
wo chehra dekhna 'atif' ye dastan legi
