wo bigDe hain ruke baiThe hain jhunjlate hain laDte hain
vo bigḌe haiñ ruke baiThe haiñ jhuñjlāte haiñ laḌte haiñ
kabhī ham joḌte haiñ haath gaahe paañv paḌte haiñ
ga.e haiñ hosh aise gar kahīñ jaane ko uThtā huuñ
to jaatā huuñ idhar ko aur udhar ko paañv paḌte haiñ
hamārā le ke dil kyā ek bosa bhī nahīñ deñge
vo yuuñ dil meñ to raazī haiñ magar zāhir jhagaḌte haiñ
jo tum ko ik shikāyat hai to mujh ko laakh shikve haiñ
lo aao mil bhī jaao ye kahīñ qisse nabaḌte haiñ
udhar vo aur ā.īna hai aur kākul banānā hai
idhar vahm aur ḳhāmoshī hai aur dil meñ bigaḌte haiñ
yahāñ to sab hamārī jaañ ko nāseh ban ke aate haiñ
vahāñ jaate hue dil chhuTte haiñ dam ukhaḌte haiñ
na dil meñ ghar na jā mahfil meñ yaañ bhī baiThnā mushkil
tire kūche meñ ab zālim kab apne paañv gaḌte haiñ
sahar ko ro.uuñ yā un ko manā.ūñ dil ko yā rokūñ
ye qismat va.ade kī shab jhagḌe sau sau aan paḌte haiñ
kabhī jhiḌkī kabhī gaalī kabhī kuchh hai kabhī kuchh hai
bane kyuuñ kar ki sau sau baar ik dam meñ bigaḌte haiñ
'nizām' un kī ḳhamoshī meñ bhī sadhā lutf haiñ lekin
jo bāteñ karte haiñ to muñh se goyā phuul jhaḌte haiñ
wo bigDe hain ruke baiThe hain jhunjlate hain laDte hain
kabhi hum joDte hain hath gahe panw paDte hain
gae hain hosh aise gar kahin jaane ko uThta hun
to jata hun idhar ko aur udhar ko panw paDte hain
hamara le ke dil kya ek bosa bhi nahin denge
wo yun dil mein to raazi hain magar zahir jhagaDte hain
jo tum ko ek shikayat hai to mujh ko lakh shikwe hain
lo aao mil bhi jao ye kahin qisse nabaDte hain
udhar wo aur aaina hai aur kakul banana hai
idhar wahm aur KHamoshi hai aur dil mein bigaDte hain
yahan to sab hamari jaan ko naseh ban ke aate hain
wahan jate hue dil chhuTte hain dam ukhaDte hain
na dil mein ghar na ja mahfil mein yan bhi baiThna mushkil
tere kuche mein ab zalim kab apne panw gaDte hain
sahar ko roun ya un ko manaun dil ko ya rokun
ye qismat wade ki shab jhagDe sau sau aan paDte hain
kabhi jhiDki kabhi gali kabhi kuchh hai kabhi kuchh hai
bane kyun kar ki sau sau bar ek dam mein bigaDte hain
'nizam' un ki KHamoshi mein bhi sadha lutf hain lekin
jo baaten karte hain to munh se goya phul jhaDte hain
