kaif se KHumar tak
vo hasīn thī mah-e-jabīn thī
be-gumān thī be-yaqīn thī
zindagī kī naram naram āhaTeñ
be-sabab yūñhī muskurāhaTeñ
uñgliyoñ meñ baal ko lapeTnā
dāman-e-ḳhayāl ko lapeTnā
har ghaḌī vahī milne vāliyāñ
be-ḳhayāliyāñ ḳhush-ḳhayāliyāñ
narm uljhaneñ kam-sinī ke ḳhvāb
añg añg meñ chheḌā inqalāb
muñh par oḌhnī jī kabhī nahīñ
maiñ to aap se boltī nahīñ
aur phir hayā zindagī kī maar
ma.arifat kā bojh jabr-o-iḳhtiyār
ek jaan aur saiñkaḌoñ vabāl
jism kī dukhan ruuh kā ḳhayāl
zindagī baḌhī raushnī liye
raushnī baḌhī tīrgī liye
inkisār meñ ik ġhurūr sā
kuchh ḳhumār sā kuchh surūr sā
dā.ere yahāñ dā.ere vahāñ
raqs meñ nazar raqs meñ jahāñ
guftugū meñ bal ḳhāmushī meñ loch
raat karvaTeñ karvaToñ meñ soch
dil bujhā bujhā tishnagī kī aañch
ajnabī thakan zindagī kī aañch
us ke kaam aa.eñ us kā dukh baTā.eñ
us ko chheḌ deñ aur muskurā.eñ
us kī aañkh meñ kitnā dard hai
rañg zard hai ruuh zard hai
vo udaas hai kyuuñ udaas hai
us kī zindagī kis ke paas hai
ye gunāh kyuuñ bhuul kyuuñ nahīñ
baaġh meñ tamām phuul kyuuñ nahīñ
wo hasin thi mah-e-jabin thi
be-guman thi be-yaqin thi
zindagi ki naram naram aahaTen
be-sabab yunhi muskurahaTen
ungliyon mein baal ko lapeTna
daman-e-KHayal ko lapeTna
har ghaDi wahi milne waliyan
be-KHayaliyan KHush-KHayaliyan
narm uljhanen kam-sini ke KHwab
ang ang mein chheDa inqalab
munh par oDhni ji kabhi nahin
main to aap se bolti nahin
aur phir haya zindagi ki mar
marifat ka bojh jabr-o-iKHtiyar
ek jaan aur sainkaDon wabaal
jism ki dukhan ruh ka KHayal
zindagi baDhi raushni liye
raushni baDhi tirgi liye
inkisar mein ek ghurur sa
kuchh KHumar sa kuchh surur sa
daere yahan daere wahan
raqs mein nazar raqs mein jahan
guftugu mein bal KHamushi mein loch
raat karwaTen karwaTon mein soch
dil bujha bujha tishnagi ki aanch
ajnabi thakan zindagi ki aanch
us ke kaam aaen us ka dukh baTaen
us ko chheD den aur muskuraen
us ki aankh mein kitna dard hai
rang zard hai ruh zard hai
wo udas hai kyun udas hai
us ki zindagi kis ke pas hai
ye gunah kyun bhul kyun nahin
bagh mein tamam phul kyun nahin
