zamin hogi kisi qatil ka daman hum na kahte the
zamīñ hogī kisī qātil kā dāmāñ ham na kahte the
akārat jā.egā ḳhūn-e-shahīdāñ ham na kahte the
ilāj-e-chāk-e-pairāhan huā to is tarah hogā
siyā jā.egā kāñToñ se garebāñ ham na kahte the
tarāne kuchh diye lafzoñ meñ ḳhud ko qaid kar leñge
ajab andāz se phailegā zindāñ ham na kahte the
koī itnā na hogā laash bhī le jā ke dafnā de
inhīñ saḌkoñ pe mar jā.egā insāñ ham na kahte the
nazar lipTī hai sholoñ meñ lahū taptā hai āñkhoñ meñ
uThā hī chāhtā hai koī tūfāñ ham na kahte the
chhalakte jaam meñ bhīgī huī āñkheñ utar aa.iiñ
satā.egī kisī din yād-e-yārāñ ham na kahte the
na.ī tahzīb kaise lucknow ko raas aa.egī
ujaḌ jā.egā ye shahr-e-ġhazālāñ ham na kahte the
zamin hogi kisi qatil ka daman hum na kahte the
akarat jaega KHun-e-shahidan hum na kahte the
ilaj-e-chaak-e-pairahan hua to is tarah hoga
siya jaega kanTon se gareban hum na kahte the
tarane kuchh diye lafzon mein KHud ko qaid kar lenge
ajab andaz se phailega zindan hum na kahte the
koi itna na hoga lash bhi le ja ke dafna de
inhin saDkon pe mar jaega insan hum na kahte the
nazar lipTi hai sholon mein lahu tapta hai aankhon mein
uTha hi chahta hai koi tufan hum na kahte the
chhalakte jam mein bhigi hui aankhen utar aain
sataegi kisi din yaad-e-yaran hum na kahte the
nai tahzib kaise lucknow ko ras aaegi
ujaD jaega ye shahr-e-ghazalan hum na kahte the
