zindan mein bhi wahi lab-o-ruKHsar dekhte
zindāñ meñ bhī vahī lab-o-ruḳhsār dekhte
darvāza dekhte kabhī dīvār dekhte
pastī-nashīn ho ke maiñ kitnā buland thā
gardan jhukā ke tum mirā me.aar dekhte
sab dauḌte the us kī ayādat ke vāste
jis ko zarā sā niiñd se bedār dekhte
dil baiThne lage to nigāheñ bhī thak ga.iiñ
kab tak tirī taraf tire bīmār dekhte
kis darja aane vaale zamāne kā ḳhauf thā
bajtā gajar to shaam ke āsār dekhte
ab kyā kaheñ vo ajnabī kaisā thā ham jise
āñkhoñ pe haath rakh ke bhī lāchār dekhte
tere sivā bhī kuchh nazar aanā muhāl thā
duniyā ko dekhte ki terā pyaar dekhte
nā-āshnā haiñ 'rām' jo ġhurbat ke naam se
vo kaash mere daur ke fankār dekhte
zindan mein bhi wahi lab-o-ruKHsar dekhte
darwaza dekhte kabhi diwar dekhte
pasti-nashin ho ke main kitna buland tha
gardan jhuka ke tum mera mear dekhte
sab dauDte the us ki ayaadat ke waste
jis ko zara sa nind se bedar dekhte
dil baiThne lage to nigahen bhi thak gain
kab tak teri taraf tere bimar dekhte
kis darja aane wale zamane ka KHauf tha
bajta gajar to sham ke aasar dekhte
ab kya kahen wo ajnabi kaisa tha hum jise
aankhon pe hath rakh ke bhi lachaar dekhte
tere siwa bhi kuchh nazar aana muhaal tha
duniya ko dekhte ki tera pyar dekhte
na-ashna hain 'ram' jo ghurbat ke nam se
wo kash mere daur ke fankar dekhte
