    ye bhī tilism-e-hosh-rubā hai

    zinda chalte-phirte hañste rote nafrat aur mohabbat karte insāñ

    sirf hayūle aur dhuveñ ke marġhūle haiñ

    ham sab apnī apnī lāsheñ apne tavahhum ke kāñdhoñ par laade sust-qadam vāmāñda

    ḳhāk-ba-sar dāmān-e-darīda zaḳhmī pairoñ se kāñToñ añgāroñ par chalte rahte haiñ

    ham sab ek baḌe qabristāñ ke āvāra bhuut haiñ

    jin ke jism to haath lagāne se tahlīl ḳhalā meñ hoñ

    jin rūhoñ zāhir se zāhir gosha haath na aa.e

    ham ko maazī se virse meñ kohna qabreñ, girte malbe aur āseb-zada khañDaroñ ke Dher mile haiñ

    vo raushan shab-tāb diye jin se maazī ko nuur milā thā

    is āseb-zada māhaul meñ yuuñ julte haiñ

    jaise ik pur-haul bayābāñ ke tiira sannāTe meñ

    kuchh bhūtoñ ne

    rah-gum-karda sayyāhoñ ko bhaTkāne ḳhātir aag jalā.ī ho

    ab ye ujāle sirf dhuāñ haiñ

    aur āseb-zada khañDaroñ chhat ke chaTaḳhte shahtīroñ ke shor meñ koī hañstā hai

    jhaḌtā chūnā girtī miTTī niim muallaq dīvār-o-dar

    chupke chupke rote haiñ

    tāqoñ ke ḳhāmosh diye zulmat ko baḌhāvā dete haiñ

    sehn ke sadhā saal purāne būḌhe peḌ

    qabroñ ke bedard mujāvar ban kar lāshoñ par sūkhe pattoñ ke Dher lagā dete haiñ

    ham sab apnī apnī lāsheñ apne anā ke dosh pe laade

    ik qabristāñ pur-haul udāsī se uktā.e hue

    ek na.e shamshān rasta DhūñD rahe haiñ

    muntazir-e-marg-e-amboh hujūm āñkhoñ ke ḳhālī kaase khole har-sū dekh rahā hai

    jaane kab koī aa.egā jo apne dāman havā se

    bhūtoñ jalnā dekhegā

    aur bhayānak saa.e gale mil mil kar khokhlī āvāzoñ meñ ro.eñge

    is manzar meñ jaane phir aisā koī aa.e ki na aa.e

    hajv vīrāñ māyūs nigāhoñ ḳhālī jholī phailā.e

    raakh meñ phuul kuredegā

    ye bhi tilism-e-hosh-ruba hai

    zinda chalte-phirte hanste rote nafrat aur mohabbat karte insan

    sirf hayule aur dhuwen ke marghule hain

    hum sab apni apni lashen apne tawahhum ke kandhon par lade sust-qadam wamanda

    KHak-ba-sar daman-e-darida zaKHmi pairon se kanTon angaron par chalte rahte hain

    hum sab ek baDe qabristan ke aawara bhut hain

    jin ke jism to hath lagane se tahlil KHala mein hon

    jin ki ruhon ka zahir se zahir gosha hath na aae

    hum ko mazi se wirse mein kohna qabren, girte malbe aur aaseb-zada khanDaron ke Dher mile hain

    wo raushan shab-tab diye jin se mazi ko nur mila tha

    is aaseb-zada mahaul mein yun julte hain

    jaise ek pur-haul bayaban ke tera sannaTe mein

    kuchh bhuton ne

    rah-gum-karda sayyahon ko bhaTkane ki KHatir aag jalai ho

    ab ye ujale sirf dhuan hain

    aur aaseb-zada khanDaron ki chhat ke chaTaKHte shahtiron ke shor mein koi hansta hai

    jhaDta chuna girti miTTi nim muallaq diwar-o-dar

    chupke chupke rote hain

    taqon ke KHamosh diye zulmat ko baDhawa dete hain

    sehn ke sadha sal purane buDhe peD

    qabron ke bedard mujawar ban kar lashon par sukhe patton ke Dher laga dete hain

    hum sab apni apni lashen apne ana ke dosh pe lade

    ek qabristan ki pur-haul udasi se uktae hue

    ek nae shamshan ka rasta DhunD rahe hain

    muntazir-e-marg-e-amboh hujum aankhon ke KHali kase khole har-su dekh raha hai

    jaane kab koi aaega jo apne daman ki hawa se

    bhuton ka jalna dekhega

    aur bhayanak sae gale mil mil kar khokhli aawazon mein roenge

    is manzar mein jaane phir aisa koi aae ki na aae

    hajw viran mayus nigahon ki KHali jholi phailae

    rakh mein phul kuredega
