ye kitāboñ kī saf-ba-saf jildeñ
kāġhazoñ kā fuzūl istīma.al
raushnā.ī kā shāndār isrāf
sīdhe sīdhe se kuchh siyah dhabbe
jin kī taujīh aaj tak na huī
chand ḳhush-zauq kam-nasīboñ ne
basar auqāt ke liye shāyad
ye lakīreñ bikher Daalī haiñ
kitnī hī be-qusūr nasloñ ne
in ko paḌhne ke jurm meñ tā-umr
le ke kashkūl-e-ilm-o-hikmat-o-fan
kū-ba-kū jaañ kī bhiik māñgī hai
aah ye vaqt kā azāb-e-alīm
vaqt ḳhallāq be-shu.ūr qadīm
saarī tārīfeñ un añdheroñ kī
jin meñ partav na koī parchhā.īñ
aah ye zindagī kī tanhā.ī
sochnā aur sochte rahnā
chand ma.asūm pāgaloñ kī sazā
aaj maiñ ne bhī soch rakkhā hai
vaqt se intiqām lene ko
yūñhī tā-shām saade kāġhaz par
TeḌhe TeḌhe ḳhutūt khīñche jaa.eñ
ye kitabon ki saf-ba-saf jilden
kaghazon ka fuzul istimal
raushnai ka shandar israf
sidhe sidhe se kuchh siyah dhabbe
jin ki taujih aaj tak na hui
chand KHush-zauq kam-nasibon ne
basar auqat ke liye shayad
ye lakiren bikher Dali hain
kitni hi be-qusur naslon ne
in ko paDhne ke jurm mein ta-umr
le ke kashkul-e-ilm-o-hikmat-o-fan
ku-ba-ku jaan ki bhik mangi hai
aah ye waqt ka azab-e-alim
waqt KHallaq be-shuur qadim
sari tarifen un andheron ki
jin mein partaw na koi parchhain
aah ye zindagi ki tanhai
sochna aur sochte rahna
chand masum pagalon ki saza
aaj main ne bhi soch rakkha hai
waqt se intiqam lene ko
yunhi ta-sham sade kaghaz par
TeDhe TeDhe KHutut khinche jaen
