yun to kahne ko teri rah ka patthar nikla

yuuñ to kahne ko tirī raah kā patthar niklā

tū ne Thokar jo lagā dī to mirā sar niklā

log to jā ke samundar ko jalā aa.e haiñ

maiñ jise phūñk kar aayā vo mirā ghar niklā

ek vo shaḳhs jo phūloñ se bhare thā dāman

har kaf-e-gul meñ chhupā.e hue ḳhanjar niklā

yuuñ to ilzām hai tūfāñ pe Dubo dene kā

tah meñ dariyā kī magar naav kā lañgar niklā

ghar ke ghar ḳhaak hue jal ke nadī suukh ga.ī

phir bhī un āñkhoñ meñ jhāñkā to samundar niklā

farsh tā arsh koī nām-o-nishāñ mil na sakā

maiñ jise DhūñDh rahā thā mire andar niklā

yun to kahne ko teri rah ka patthar nikla

tu ne Thokar jo laga di to mera sar nikla

log to ja ke samundar ko jala aae hain

main jise phunk kar aaya wo mera ghar nikla

ek wo shaKHs jo phulon se bhare tha daman

har kaf-e-gul mein chhupae hue KHanjar nikla

yun to ilzam hai tufan pe Dubo dene ka

tah mein dariya ki magar naw ka langar nikla

ghar ke ghar KHak hue jal ke nadi sukh gai

phir bhi un aankhon mein jhanka to samundar nikla

farsh ta arsh koi nam-o-nishan mil na saka

main jise DhunDh raha tha mere andar nikla
