wo hirasat mein jo insan liye jate hain

vo hirāsat meñ jo insān liye jaate haiñ

apnī tafrīh kā sāmān liye jaate haiñ

kal jise ghar se uThā le ga.ī ḳhākī vardī

aaj māñ-bāp use shamshān liye jaate haiñ

ba.ad muTh-beḌ ke tamġhe ye taraqqī dekho

marne vaale hī kā ehsān liye jaate haiñ

jism chhalnī hai magar haath rahe siine par

haa.e dil meñ koī armān liye jaate haiñ

kyā pata un ko kitābeñ haiñ ki vish kī puḌiyāñ

bhar ke baste meñ jo nādān liye jaate haiñ

ye bhajan gaane meñ hī mast kiye band āñkheñ

aur ghar lauT ke mehmān liye jaate haiñ

ek ma.asūm kā sar kaaT ke phir devī se

apnī ḳhush-hālī ke vardān liye jaate haiñ

nīm-behosh hai ghāyal hai qafas meñ 'panchhī'

aur par noch ke shaitān liye jaate haiñ

wo hirasat mein jo insan liye jate hain

apni tafrih ka saman liye jate hain

kal jise ghar se uTha le gai KHaki wardi

aaj man-bap use shamshan liye jate hain

baad muTh-beD ke tamghe ye taraqqi dekho

marne wale hi ka ehsan liye jate hain

jism chhalni hai magar hath rahe sine par

hae dil mein koi arman liye jate hain

kya pata un ko kitaben hain ki wish ki puDiyan

bhar ke baste mein jo nadan liye jate hain

ye bhajan gane mein hi mast kiye band aankhen

aur ghar lauT ke mehman liye jate hain

ek masum ka sar kaT ke phir dewi se

apni KHush-haali ke wardan liye jate hain

nim-behosh hai ghayal hai qafas mein 'panchhi'

aur par noch ke shaitan liye jate hain
