aawaz

us kī aamad ke tasavvur se sambhaltī āvāz

us kī qurbat kī tamāzat se pighaltī āvāz

sub.h-dam shoḳh parindoñ ke chahakne kī sadā

band kaliyoñ ke na.e ruup kī khultī āvāz

bahr-e-zaḳhḳhār kī aadat hai ye Thahrā huā shor

tez dariyāoñ ke paanī kī machaltī āvāz

kohsāroñ ke chaTaḳhne se garajne kī sadā

aur chashmoñ kī ravānī se uchhaltī āvāz

gardish-e-ḳhūñ meñ ravāñ dil ke dhaḌakne kī sadā

ashk-e-ḳhūñ-nāb ke andar se ubaltī āvāz

kār-ḳhānoñ kī mashīnoñ kī miloñ kī āvāz

gāḌiyoñ tāñgoñ basoñ cyclioñ kī āvāz

bahr-o-bar kuchh bhī na hote ye jahāñ kyā hotā!

gar ye āvāz na hotī to yahāñ kyā hotā

us ki aamad ke tasawwur se sambhalti aawaz

us ki qurbat ki tamazat se pighalti aawaz

subh-dam shoKH parindon ke chahakne ki sada

band kaliyon ke nae rup ki khulti aawaz

bahr-e-zaKHKHar ki aadat hai ye Thahra hua shor

tez dariyaon ke pani ki machalti aawaz

kohsaron ke chaTaKHne se garajne ki sada

aur chashmon ki rawani se uchhalti aawaz

gardish-e-KHun mein rawan dil ke dhaDakne ki sada

ashk-e-KHun-nab ke andar se ubalti aawaz

kar-KHanon ki mashinon ki milon ki aawaz

gaDiyon tangon bason cyclion ki aawaz

bahr-o-bar kuchh bhi na hote ye jahan kya hota!

gar ye aawaz na hoti to yahan kya hota
