    samundaroñ nīl-gūñ fazā-e-āb meñ bhī raqs kar chukā huuñ bār-hā

    mire liye koī ufuq ye āsmāñ vus.ateñ bhī ajnabī nahīñ

    maiñ in meñ saikḌoñ, hazāroñ zindagī ke giit ātishīñ dhunoñ meñ chukā

    kisī ko DhūñD rahā thaa, kaun jaane kis ko DhūñDhtā thā maiñ

    hazār baar DhūñDhtā rahā huuñ jis ko mausamoñ ke madd-o-jazr meñ magar na sakā

    sitāre Dūbne lage aur āñdhiyoñ shiddateñ habāb ban ke rah ga.iiñ

    kisī ko DhūñD rahā thā maiñ sahar narm narm shabnamīñ fazāoñ meñ

    ki aap aa ga.īñ, aur aa ke chhā ga.iiñ samundar aur āsmāñ be-karāñ ḳhalāoñ meñ

    hazāroñ dāstāneñ bahr-e-nīlgūñ chashm-e-nāz meñ liye hue

    hazāroñ mahr-o-māh tajalliyoñ jism ā.īna banā huā

    maiñ soch rahā thaa, lahreñ nabz-e-kā.enāt to nahīñ

    ki ek lahr uTThī jis barhamī ke sāmne mirī tamām quvvateñ habāb ban ke rah ga.iiñ

    kanār-e-āb ek pal maiñ dekhte dekhte maiñ phir paḌā huā thā ret par

    mire badan ret har ek zarra ek ā.īna thā

    aur jaane kitne āftāb jagmagā rahe the mere jism par

    hazār maiñ gunāhgār huuñ to kyā

    ye merā jism ḳhāk-o-ḳhūñ imtizāj sahī

    hazār maiñ gunāh-gār huuñ to kyā

    ye zalzale ye āñdhiyāñ ye barq o ātish o sharar mire mizāj sahī

    magar sukūn ke jab bhī shādmāñ huā huuñ

    gungunā uThā huuñ muskurā diyā huuñ

    mire is āhanī mahal ke āstāñ pe āsmāñ jannateñ bhī sajda-rez ho ga.iiñ

    agar nahīñ haiñ nāriyal ke saa.e sat.h-e-āb par to kyā huā

    magar bahut duur aa chuke haiñ sāhiloñ ko chhoḌ kar

    uThāo lañgar aur bādbān khol do

    havā.eñ tez haiñ to kyā ye lahreñ sho.ala-rez haiñ to kyā

    uThāo lañgar aur bādbān khol do

    maiñ jāntā huuñ ḳhuub jāntā huuñ ek kā.enāt aur bhī hai

    māvarā-e-kā.enāt

    baras rahā hai amrit āsmāñ se chāñdnī ke ruup meñ

    zamīñ zamīñ kā.enāt ke liye numū hai dhuup meñ

    magar ye barg ye samar ye gulsitāñ baġhair rañg ke to kuchh nahīñ

    sitāre Dūbne lage to kyā

    ye lahreñ sho.ala-rez haiñ to kyā

    uTho aur uTh ke kashtiyoñ ke bādbān khol do

    ye kaun kahtā hai ki lahroñ ḳhudā koī nahīñ

    ye lahreñ ḳhuub jāntī haiñ sāhiloñ rāsta

    samundaron ki nil-gun faza-e-ab mein bhi raqs kar chuka hun bar-ha

    mere liye koi ufuq ye aasman ki wusaten bhi ajnabi nahin

    main in mein saikDon, hazaron zindagi ke git aatishin dhunon mein ga chuka

    kisi ko DhunD hi raha tha, kaun jaane kis ko DhunDhta tha main

    hazar bar DhunDhta raha hun jis ko mausamon ke madd-o-jazr mein magar na pa saka

    sitare Dubne lage aur aandhiyon ki shiddaten habab ban ke rah gain

    kisi ko DhunD hi raha tha main sahar ki narm narm shabnamin fazaon mein

    ki aap aa gain, aur aa ke chha gain samundar aur aasman ki be-karan KHalaon mein

    hazaron dastanen bahr-e-nilgun ki chashm-e-naz mein liye hue

    hazaron mahr-o-mah ki tajalliyon ka jism aaina bana hua

    main soch hi raha tha, lahren nabz-e-kaenat to nahin

    ki ek lahr uTThi jis ki barhami ke samne meri tamam quwwaten habab ban ke rah gain

    kanar-e-ab ek pal main dekhte hi dekhte main phir paDa hua tha ret par

    mere badan ki ret ka har ek zarra ek aaina tha

    aur jaane kitne aaftab jagmaga rahe the mere jism par

    hazar main gunahgar hun to kya

    ye mera jism KHak-o-KHun ka imtizaj hi sahi

    hazar main gunah-gar hun to kya

    ye zalzale ye aandhiyan ye barq o aatish o sharar mere mizaj hi sahi

    magar sukun pa ke jab bhi shadman hua hun

    gunguna uTha hun muskura diya hun

    mere is aahani mahal ke aastan pe aasman ki jannaten bhi sajda-rez ho gain

    agar nahin hain nariyal ke sae sath-e-ab par to kya hua

    magar bahut hi dur aa chuke hain sahilon ko chhoD kar

    uThao langar aur baadban khol do

    hawaen tez hain to kya ye lahren shoala-rez hain to kya

    uThao langar aur baadban khol do

    main jaanta hun KHub jaanta hun ek kaenat aur bhi hai

    mawara-e-kaenat

    baras raha hai amrit aasman se chandni ke rup mein

    zamin zamin ki kaenat ke liye numu hai dhup mein

    magar ye barg ye samar ye gulsitan baghair rang ke to kuchh nahin

    sitare Dubne lage to kya

    ye lahren shoala-rez hain to kya

    uTho aur uTh ke kashtiyon ke baadban khol do

    ye kaun kahta hai ki lahron ka KHuda koi nahin

    ye lahren KHub jaanti hain sahilon ka rasta
