    kuchh rail-ghar haal karūñ muḳhtasar bayāñ

    vo nau-baje vaqt vo hañgāme samāñ

    quliyoñ laad laad ke laanā vo peTiyāñ

    bajnā vo ghanTiyoñ vo engine sīTiyāñ

    gaḌ-baḌ musāfiroñ bhī ik yādgār thī

    aurat pe mard mard pe aurat savār thī

    al-qissa rail jab sū-e-jhansi ravāñ huī

    aur shakl lucknow nazar se nihāñ huī

    jo third meñ the un ke liye bhī amaañ huī

    panjoñ pe dhakke khā ke jagah kuchh ayaañ huī

    thā tīsrā pahar na ba-ḳhūbī huī thī shaam

    chhūTā jo saath rail ham sab se vassalām

    ya.anī savād-e-bamba.ī us dam nazar paḌā

    Thahrī train ik ek musāfir utar paḌā

    kuchh bamba.ī haal karūñ muḳhtasar bayāñ

    chauḌī saḌak do-rūya ka.ī manzile makāñ

    har-sū miloñ shahr meñ phailā huā dhuāñ

    har ek maale ke liye das biis sīḌhiyāñ

    kamra har ek kaaTh piñjra silā huā

    har ik makīñ phañdīt ho jaise palā huā

    baiThe uThe vahīñ pe vahīñ khānā bhī pakā.e

    muñh haath dho.e chāhe vahīñ baiTh kar nahā.e

    sone ke vāste na masahrī agar bichhā.e

    phaileñ na pair guñDlī jo maare to haañ samā.e

    aisī jagah pe gar kahīñ rahne ko mile

    insāñ ko zindagī meñ lahad mazā mile

    bā.īs february sahar jab miyāñ huī

    uTThe savere jaise zulmat nihāñ huī

    asbāb bāñdh-būñdh ke hushiyār ho ga.e

    gaaḌī bulā.ī chalne ko tayyār ho ga.e

    pahuñchā har ik jahāz par jis tarah ho sakā

    lekin kahīñ pe miltī na thī baiThne

    asbāb chaar samt thā phailā paḌā huā

    suntā na thā koī jo koī thā pukārtā

    burqā meñ aurteñ thiiñ magar ġhair haal thā

    relā vo thā qadam Thaharnā muhāl thā

    kuchh khanD meñ bhare ga.e asbāb tarah

    kuchh be qarār ho ga.e sīmāb tarah

    ik pe kuchh samā jo ga.e aap tarah

    kuchh ghūmte rah ga.e girdāb tarah

    maujoñ uThnā aur vo talātum ki al-hazar

    be-ḳhud hue ye sab ki na apnī rahī ḳhabar

    qai se musāfiroñ bahut ġhair haal thā

    chakkar vo thā ki sar uThānā muhāl thā

    thiiñ jin ke saath aurteñ un na pūchho haal

    le jaanā aur laanā thā ik jaan vabāl

    sīḌhī se un ko le ke utarnā thā ik muhāl

    be-pardagī dhyān na parde thā ḳhayāl

    ye parda-dārī jaan ke uupar azaab thī

    in auratoñ se mardoñ miTī ḳharāb thī

    kahtī thī koī lo mirā burqā aTak gayā

    hai hai nayā thā tiin jagah se masak gayā

    sāhab sambhālo sar se dupaTTa khisak gayā

    lo pā.incha ulajh gayā muqannā sarak gayā

    lo biivī pān-dān Dhaknā bhī gir gayā

    aafat paḌe jahāz pe kathā bhī gir gayā

    tauba ye mere bachche baTva bhī gir gayā

    pahuñchūñgī ab garche asal ḳhair se maiñ ghar

    biivī amīThe kaan karūñgī na phir safar

    vo kaun log haiñ ki jo aate haiñ baar baar

    sach hai buā ki ghar hai ġhanīmat hazār baar

    kuchh rail-ghar ka haal karun muKHtasar bayan

    wo nau-baje ka waqt wo hangame ka saman

    quliyon ka lad lad ke lana wo peTiyan

    bajna wo ghanTiyon ka wo engine ki siTiyan

    gaD-baD musafiron ki bhi ek yaadgar thi

    aurat pe mard mard pe aurat sawar thi

    al-qissa rail jab su-e-jhansi rawan hui

    aur shakl lucknow ki nazar se nihan hui

    jo third mein the un ke liye bhi aman hui

    panjon pe dhakke kha ke jagah kuchh ayan hui

    tha tisra pahar na ba-KHubi hui thi sham

    chhuTa jo sath rail ka hum sab se wassalam

    yani sawad-e-bambai us dam nazar paDa

    Thahri train ek ek musafir utar paDa

    kuchh bambai ka haal karun muKHtasar bayan

    chauDi saDak do-ruya kai manzile makan

    har-su milon ka shahr mein phaila hua dhuan

    har ek male ke liye das bis siDhiyan

    kamra har ek kaTh ka pinjra sila hua

    har ek makin phandit ho jaise pala hua

    baiThe uThe wahin pe wahin khana bhi pakae

    munh hath dhoe chahe wahin baiTh kar nahae

    sone ke waste na masahri agar bichhae

    phailen na pair gunDli jo mare to han samae

    aisi jagah pe gar kahin rahne ko ja mile

    insan ko zindagi mein lahad ka maza mile

    bais february ki sahar jab miyan hui

    uTThe sawere jaise hi zulmat nihan hui

    asbab bandh-bundh ke hushiyar ho gae

    gaDi bulai chalne ko tayyar ho gae

    pahuncha har ek jahaz par jis tarah ho saka

    lekin kahin pe milti na thi baiThne ki ja

    asbab chaar samt tha phaila paDa hua

    sunta na tha koi jo koi tha pukarta

    burqa mein aurten thin magar ghair haal tha

    rela wo tha qadam ka Thaharna muhaal tha

    kuchh khanD mein bhare gae asbab ki tarah

    kuchh be qarar ho gae simab ki tarah

    ek ja pe kuchh sama jo gae aap ki tarah

    kuchh ghumte hi rah gae girdab ki tarah

    maujon ka uThna aur wo talatum ki al-hazar

    be-KHud hue ye sab ki na apni rahi KHabar

    qai se musafiron ka bahut ghair haal tha

    chakkar wo tha ki sar ka uThana muhaal tha

    thin jin ke sath aurten un ka na puchho haal

    le jaana aur lana tha ek jaan ka wabaal

    siDhi se un ko le ke utarna tha ek muhaal

    be-pardagi ka dhyan na parde ka tha KHayal

    ye parda-dari jaan ke upar azab thi

    in auraton se mardon ki miTi KHarab thi

    kahti thi koi lo mera burqa aTak gaya

    hai hai naya tha tin jagah se masak gaya

    sahab sambhaalo sar se dupaTTa khisak gaya

    lo paincha ulajh gaya muqanna sarak gaya

    lo biwi pan-dan ka Dhakna bhi gir gaya

    aafat paDe jahaz pe katha bhi gir gaya

    tauba ye mere bachche ka baTwa bhi gir gaya

    pahunchungi ab ki garche asal KHair se main ghar

    biwi amiThe kan karungi na phir safar

    wo kaun log hain ki jo aate hain bar bar

    sach hai bua ki ghar hai ghanimat hazar bar
