    ek gardan pe saikḌoñ chehre

    aur har chehre par hazāroñ daaġh

    aur har daaġh band darvāza

    raushnī in se aa nahīñ saktī

    raushnī in se nahīñ saktī

    tañg siina hai hauz masjid

    dil vo duunā pujāriyoñ ke ba.ad

    chāTte rahte haiñ jise kutte

    kutte duunā jo chaaT lete haiñ

    devtāoñ ko kaaT lete haiñ

    jaane kis kokh ne janā is ko

    jaane kis sehn meñ javān huī

    jaane kis des se chalī kam-baḳht

    vaise ye har zabān boltī hai

    zaḳhm khiḌkī tarah kholtī hai

    aur kahtī hai jhāñk kar dil meñ

    terā maz.hab, tirā aziim ḳhudā

    terī tahzīb ke hasīn sanam

    sab ko ḳhatre ne aaj gherā hai

    ba.ad un ke jahāñ añdherā hai

    sard ho jaatā hai lahū merā

    band ho jaatī haiñ khulī āñkheñ

    aisā lagtā hai jaise duniyā meñ

    sabhī dushman haiñ koī dost nahīñ

    mujh ko zinda nigal rahī hai zamīñ

    aisā lagtā hai rākshas koī

    ek gāgar kamar meñ laTkā kar

    āsmāñ par chaḌhegā āḳhir-e-shab

    nuur saarā nichoḌ lā.egā

    mere taare bhī toḌ lā.egā

    ye jo dhartī phaT gayā siina

    aur bāhar nikal paḌe haiñ julūs

    mujh se kahte haiñ tum hamāre ho

    maiñ agar in huuñ to maiñ kyā huuñ

    maiñ kisī nahīñ huuñ apnā huuñ

    mujh ko tanhā.ī ne diyā hai janam

    merā sab kuchh akele-pan se hai

    kaun pūchhegā mujh ko mele meñ

    saath jis din qadam baḌhā.ūñgā

    chaal maiñ apnī bhuul jā.ūñgā

    ye aur aise chand aur savāl

    DhūñDne par bhī aaj tak mujh ko

    jin ke maañ baap milā na surāġh

    zehn meñ ye uñDel detī hai

    mujh ko muTThī meñ bheñch letī hai

    chāhtā huuñ ki qatl kar duuñ ise

    vaar lekin jab is pe kartā huuñ

    mere siine pe zaḳhm ubharte haiñ

    mere māthe se ḳhuuñ Tapaktā hai

    jaane kyā merā is rishta hai

    āñdhiyoñ meñ azaan maiñ ne

    sañkh phūñkā añdherī rātoñ meñ

    ghar ke bāhar salīb laTkā.ī

    ek ik dar se us ko Thukrāyā

    shahr se duur ke pheñk aayā

    aur elaan kar diyā ki uTho

    barf jam ga.ī hai sīnoñ meñ

    garm bosoñ se us ko pighlā do

    kar lo jo bhī gunāh vo kam hai

    aaj raat jashn-e-ādam hai

    ye mirī āstīn se niklī

    rakh diyā dauḌ ke charāġh pe haath

    mal diyā phir añdherā chehre par

    hoñT se dil baat lauT ga.ī

    dar tak aa ke barāt lauT ga.ī

    us ne mujh ko alag bulā ke kahā

    aaj zindagī naam hai ḳhauf

    ḳhauf vo zamīn hai jis meñ

    firqe ugte haiñ firqe palte haiñ

    dhāre sāgar se kaT ke chalte haiñ

    ḳhauf jab tak diloñ meñ baaqī hai

    sirf chehra badalte rahnā hai

    sirf lahja badalte rahnā hai

    koī mujh ko miTā nahīñ saktā

    jashn-e-ādam manā nahīñ saktā

    ek gardan pe saikDon chehre

    aur har chehre par hazaron dagh

    aur har dagh band darwaza

    raushni in se aa nahin sakti

    raushni in se ja nahin sakti

    tang sina hai hauz masjid ka

    dil wo duna pujariyon ke baad

    chaTte rahte hain jise kutte

    kutte duna jo chaT lete hain

    dewtaon ko kaT lete hain

    jaane kis kokh ne jana is ko

    jaane kis sehn mein jawan hui

    jaane kis des se chali kam-baKHt

    waise ye har zaban bolti hai

    zaKHm khiDki ki tarah kholti hai

    aur kahti hai jhank kar dil mein

    tera mazhab, tera azim KHuda

    teri tahzib ke hasin sanam

    sab ko KHatre ne aaj ghera hai

    baad un ke jahan andhera hai

    sard ho jata hai lahu mera

    band ho jati hain khuli aankhen

    aisa lagta hai jaise duniya mein

    sabhi dushman hain koi dost nahin

    mujh ko zinda nigal rahi hai zamin

    aisa lagta hai rakshas koi

    ek gagar kamar mein laTka kar

    aasman par chaDhega aaKHir-e-shab

    nur sara nichoD laega

    mere tare bhi toD laega

    ye jo dharti ka phaT gaya sina

    aur bahar nikal paDe hain julus

    mujh se kahte hain tum hamare ho

    main agar in ka hun to main kya hun

    main kisi ka nahin hun apna hun

    mujh ko tanhai ne diya hai janam

    mera sab kuchh akele-pan se hai

    kaun puchhega mujh ko mele mein

    sath jis din qadam baDhaunga

    chaal main apni bhul jaunga

    ye aur aise hi chand aur sawal

    DhunDne par bhi aaj tak mujh ko

    jin ke man bap ka mila na suragh

    zehn mein ye unDel deti hai

    mujh ko muTThi mein bhench leti hai

    chahta hun ki qatl kar dun ise

    war lekin jab is pe karta hun

    mere sine pe zaKHm ubharte hain

    mere mathe se KHun Tapakta hai

    jaane kya mera is ka rishta hai

    aandhiyon mein azan di main ne

    sankh phunka andheri raaton mein

    ghar ke bahar salib laTkai

    ek ek dar se us ko Thukraya

    shahr se dur ja ke phenk aaya

    aur elan kar diya ki uTho

    barf si jam gai hai sinon mein

    garm boson se us ko pighla do

    kar lo jo bhi gunah wo kam hai

    aaj ki raat jashn-e-adam hai

    ye meri aastin se nikli

    rakh diya dauD ke charagh pe hath

    mal diya phir andhera chehre par

    honT se dil ki baat lauT gai

    dar tak aa ke baraat lauT gai

    us ne mujh ko alag bula ke kaha

    aaj ki zindagi ka nam hai KHauf

    KHauf hi wo zamin hai jis mein

    firqe ugte hain firqe palte hain

    dhaare sagar se kaT ke chalte hain

    KHauf jab tak dilon mein baqi hai

    sirf chehra badalte rahna hai

    sirf lahja badalte rahna hai

    koi mujh ko miTa nahin sakta

    jashn-e-adam mana nahin sakta
