la-intiha abhi
na jaane vo log gum kahāñ haiñ
chhalak rahī thī falak ke sāġhar se rahmat-e-haq kī tund sahbā
fazā-e-ayyām meñ mohabbat kī fāḳhtā.eñ bhī pankh phailā.e uḌ rahī thiiñ
dayār-e-hirmāñ meñ jhāñktī thiiñ umīd-e-fardā kī narm kirneñ
magar ye āshob-e-vaqt kā hai asar ki jis se
jhulas ga.e haiñ tasavvuroñ ke hasīn chehre
fazā bhī ḳhāmosh ruuh betāb duur mandir ke devtā chup
dhaḌakte dil kī ye sansanāhaT
khisakte pattoñ kī sarsarāhaT
kisī ke qadmoñ kī jaise aahaT
paḌe haiñ ḳhāmosh khokhle mandiroñ ke nāqūs
bujhe paḌe haiñ tamaddunoñ ke hasīn fānūs
yahāñ ajantā kā aur konārk kā fann-e-taḳhlīq hichkiyāñ le rahā hai paiham
yahāñ to ab saume'oñ meñ aur masjidoñ meñ ghar kar chuke haiñ taḳhrīb ke abābīl
nafas-nafas meñ ghuTan kā jazba
ragoñ meñ talḳhī hai zahr-e-ġham kī
bhaTakte rahne ko ab ḳhalā ke sivā nahīñ kuchh
ga.e the jo log is taraf se
unhīñ kā hai intizār ham ko
vo ā.eñge kab vo ā.eñge kab
yahāñ ahinsā ko ghun lagā hai
yahāñ mohabbat kī vādiyoñ meñ ugī hai kaa.ī
payām-e-insāniyat pe goyā lagī hai dīmak
vo dard-e-dil kī laveñ jo misl-e-charāġh jaltī rahī thiiñ sadiyoñ
na jaane kyoñ aaj bujh chukī haiñ
nazar ko dhuñdlā rahī hai kyoñ duur kī siyāhī
ga.e the kuchh log jo idhar se unhīñ kā hai intizār ham ko
falak ke lā-intihā abhī meñ
na jaane vo log gum kahāñ haiñ
na jaane wo log gum kahan hain
chhalak rahi thi falak ke saghar se rahmat-e-haq ki tund sahba
faza-e-ayyam mein mohabbat ki faKHtaen bhi pankh phailae uD rahi thin
dayar-e-hirman mein jhankti thin umid-e-farda ki narm kirnen
magar ye aashob-e-waqt ka hai asar ki jis se
jhulas gae hain tasawwuron ke hasin chehre
faza bhi KHamosh ruh betab dur mandir ke dewta chup
dhaDakte dil ki ye sansanahaT
khisakte patton ki sarsarahaT
kisi ke qadmon ki jaise aahaT
paDe hain KHamosh khokhle mandiron ke naqus
bujhe paDe hain tamaddunon ke hasin fanus
yahan ajanta ka aur konark ka fann-e-taKHliq hichkiyan le raha hai paiham
yahan to ab saume'on mein aur masjidon mein ghar kar chuke hain taKHrib ke ababil
nafas-nafas mein ghuTan ka jazba
ragon mein talKHi hai zahr-e-gham ki
bhaTakte rahne ko ab KHala ke siwa nahin kuchh
gae the jo log is taraf se
unhin ka hai intizar hum ko
wo aaenge kab wo aaenge kab
yahan ahinsa ko ghun laga hai
yahan mohabbat ki wadiyon mein ugi hai kai
payam-e-insaniyat pe goya lagi hai dimak
wo dard-e-dil ki lawen jo misl-e-charagh jalti rahi thin sadiyon
na jaane kyon aaj bujh chuki hain
nazar ko dhundla rahi hai kyon dur ki siyahi
gae the kuchh log jo idhar se unhin ka hai intizar hum ko
falak ke la-intiha abhi mein
na jaane wo log gum kahan hain
