zamin ki god mein baiTha humak raha hun main
zamīñ kī god meñ baiThā humak rahā huuñ maiñ
falak pe chāñd kī jānib lapak rahā huuñ maiñ
nahīñ hai apnī zamīñ kī koī ḳhabar lekin
ḳhalā meñ duur kisī shai ko tak rahā huuñ maiñ
nahā gayā huuñ ḳhud apne lahū meñ sar-tā-pā
junūñ kī aag meñ lekin dahak rahā huuñ maiñ
agarche zulmat-e-shab meñ kamī nahīñ aa.ī
misāl-e-māh-e-daraḳhshāñ chamak rahā huuñ maiñ
har ek samt badaltī rutoñ kā mātam hai
shagufta ġhunche kī sūrat chaTak rahā huuñ maiñ
parakhne vaale mujhe dekh is tarah bhī zarā
agar hai khoT to kaise chamak rahā huuñ maiñ
girī hī jaatī hai dīvār-e-girya har lahza
kisī kī aañkh se shāyad Dhalak rahā huuñ maiñ
tamām shahr ne dīdār kar liyā 'kausar'
ab apnī laash ke chehre ko Dhak rahā huuñ maiñ
zamin ki god mein baiTha humak raha hun main
falak pe chand ki jaanib lapak raha hun main
nahin hai apni zamin ki koi KHabar lekin
KHala mein dur kisi shai ko tak raha hun main
naha gaya hun KHud apne lahu mein sar-ta-pa
junun ki aag mein lekin dahak raha hun main
agarche zulmat-e-shab mein kami nahin aai
misal-e-mah-e-daraKHshan chamak raha hun main
har ek samt badalti ruton ka matam hai
shagufta ghunche ki surat chaTak raha hun main
parakhne wale mujhe dekh is tarah bhi zara
agar hai khoT to kaise chamak raha hun main
giri hi jati hai diwar-e-girya har lahza
kisi ki aankh se shayad Dhalak raha hun main
tamam shahr ne didar kar liya 'kausar'
ab apni lash ke chehre ko Dhak raha hun main
