MORE BYAkhtar Rahi

    kitne raushan āftāboñ ko nigal kar

    kaalā sūraj

    raushnī ke shahr meñ dāḳhil huā

    saarī kaalī quvvatoñ ne

    kaale sūraj ko uThāyā dosh par

    ḳhud sabhī rāhoñ ko raushan kar ga.e

    ḳhud-baḳhud saare makān o kār-ḳhāne jal uThe

    ḳhud-baḳhud ġhul ho ga.e saare charāġh

    be-gunāhoñ ke lahū ne rāste raushan kiye

    aadmī kyā qusūr

    raat bhar ye kaalā sūraj

    har ujāle lahū piitā rahā

    kūcha kūcha raqs farmātā rahā

    giit jhūTī fat.h ke ye sub.h tak gaatā rahā

    raushnī ke shahr meñ

    kaale sūraj par ka.ī āshufta-sar vaare ga.e

    aadmī kuchh na bigḌā devtā maare ga.e

    kitne raushan aaftabon ko nigal kar

    kala suraj

    raushni ke shahr mein daKHil hua

    sari kali quwwaton ne

    kale suraj ko uThaya dosh par

    KHud sabhi rahon ko raushan kar gae

    KHud-baKHud sare makan o kar-KHane jal uThe

    KHud-baKHud ghul ho gae sare charagh

    be-gunahon ke lahu ne raste raushan kiye

    aadmi ka kya qusur

    raat bhar ye kala suraj

    har ujale ka lahu pita raha

    kucha kucha raqs farmata raha

    git jhuTi fath ke ye subh tak gata raha

    raushni ke shahr mein

    kale suraj par kai aashufta-sar ware gae

    aadmi ka kuchh na bigDa dewta mare gae
