    dhanak oḌh kar phir rahī ho magar

    tum ne sochā kabhī

    ye ThanDī phuvāreñ

    tumhāre sulagte badan ko ḳhunuk-bāriyāñ de sakeñgī

    aaj tak

    kitne tapte hue mausamoñ ne jalāyā hai tan shajar

    zindagī khulī muTThiyoñ meñ sabhī āñdhiyāñ

    bāñjh jazbāt sard hotī huī raakh bhartī rahīñ

    dard siip meñ ek bhī buuñd motī nahīñ ban sakī

    dil ke kashkol meñ ek sikka masarrat khankā nahīñ

    pyāse hoñToñ ke nam sāhiloñ ke badan

    tishnagī jamī ret par kasmasāte rahe

    phuul jaltī hathelī ke kumhlā ga.e

    uñgliyoñ par ḳhizāñ chhā ga.ī

    zulf sab siyah nāgineñ

    kāshmīr aur shimle pagDanDiyāñ ban ga.iiñ

    bhīgī palkoñ pe rakkhe hue sab charāġhoñ ko

    bhūkī sahar khā ga.ī

    dhanak oḌh kar phir rahī ho magar

    tum ne sochā kabhī

    aaj tak kitnī shahzādiyāñ

    pāñchvīñ samt se

    aane vaale kisī shāhzāde ummīd meñ

    kaale dev.oñ ke

    andhe kuoñ meñ nazar-band haiñ

    dhanak oḌh kar

    yūñhī kab tak phirogī bhalā

    ḳhudārā uTho

    apnī taqdīr ke munsifoñ se

    ye pūchho zarā

    jhūTī shaan aur shaukat ke patthar tale

    kab talak haath mehñdī se

    aur maañg sust-rang afshāñ se ḳhālī rahegī

    vo purānī havelī jo purkhoñ hai

    vo tālāb ke paas vaalī zamīñ

    dasahrī ḳhushbū se mahkā huā baaġh vo

    kyoñ nahīñ bechte

    dhanak oḌh kar phir rahī ho magar

    ye to pūchho zarā

    dhanak oDh kar phir rahi ho magar

    tum ne socha kabhi

    ye ThanDi phuwaren

    tumhaare sulagte badan ko KHunuk-bariyan de sakengi

    aaj tak

    kitne tapte hue mausamon ne jalaya hai tan ka shajar

    zindagi ki khuli muTThiyon mein sabhi aandhiyan

    banjh jazbaat ki sard hoti hui rakh bharti rahin

    dard ki sip mein ek bhi bund moti nahin ban saki

    dil ke kashkol mein ek sikka masarrat ka khanka nahin

    pyase honTon ke nam sahilon ke badan

    tishnagi ki jami ret par kasmasate rahe

    phul jalti hatheli ke kumhla gae

    ungliyon par KHizan chha gai

    zulf ki sab siyah naginen

    kashmir aur shimle ki pagDanDiyan ban gain

    bhigi palkon pe rakkhe hue sab charaghon ko

    bhuki sahar kha gai

    dhanak oDh kar phir rahi ho magar

    tum ne socha kabhi

    aaj tak kitni shahzadiyan

    panchwin samt se

    aane wale kisi shahzade ki ummid mein

    kale dewon ke

    andhe kuon mein nazar-band hain

    dhanak oDh kar

    yunhi kab tak phirogi bhala

    KHudara uTho

    apni taqdir ke munsifon se

    ye puchho zara

    jhuTi shan aur shaukat ke patthar tale

    kab talak hath mehndi se

    aur mang sust-rang afshan se KHali rahegi

    wo purani haweli jo purkhon ki hai

    ya wo talab ke pas wali zamin

    ya

    dasahri ki KHushbu se mahka hua bagh wo

    kyon nahin bechte

    dhanak oDh kar phir rahi ho magar

    ye to puchho zara
