    safed-poshī oT meñ be-shumār aaheñ chhupī huī haiñ

    qarīn-e-jāñ hai

    vahī subuk-sār-e-zindagī ḳhayāl aur bas

    vo pur-sukūñ din

    vo jhilmilātā jahāñ ki jis meñ

    ham apne hisse zindagī kaash vālihāna guzār paate

    ye chhoTī chhoTī ḳhvāhisheñ thiiñ

    kisī baḌe shahr ka.ī manzila imārat se gir paḌīñ haiñ

    phir un malba sameT kar ham

    bataur īñdhan najis mashīnoñ meñ jhok aa.e

    vo ḳhvāhisheñ ab dhuāñ dhuāñ haiñ

    dhuāñ jo dil se nikal rahā hai

    dhuāñ jo dil meñ utar rahā hai

    jo roz-o-shab hisār ban kar

    aziyyatoñ ke muhīb saa.e meñ Dhal rahā hai

    magar ye saa.e zamāne-bhar tamāzatoñ ke muqāble meñ

    kisī bhī ne.amat se kam nahīñ haiñ

    lihāzā un par bhī ab usuul talab rasad nafāz hogā

    hisāb-o-dftar ye mez kursī ke ba.ad ma.alūm ho sakegā

    ki apnī gum-gashta hasratoñ ke sahāb meñ se

    hamāre hisse meñ kyā bachā hai

    hamārī qismat meñ likhā hai

    bisāt-e-nau ke hamīñ khilāḌī hamī khilaune

    hameñ tamāsha lagāne vaale

    hameñ fasāna banāne vaale

    magar hamārā na tazkira hai kahāniyoñ meñ

    kisī tamāshe meñ koī kirdār tak nahīñ hai

    fanā ke naġhme rijā.iyat ke suroñ meñ gaanā

    hameñ sikhāyā hai zindagī ne

    yahī batāyā hai zindagī ne

    hamāre ġham nisāb tai hai

    hamārī manzil bhī tai-shuda hai

    ki us se aage guzar hamārā

    agar huā bhī to vājibī

    vo ḳhvāb saare jo ham ne dekhe

    sarāb nikle azaab nikle

    ye zindagī bhī ajiib shai hai

    ki us ko paane meñ kho diyā hai usī ko ham ne

    safed-poshi ki oT mein be-shumar aahen chhupi hui hain

    qarin-e-jaan hai

    wahi subuk-sar-e-zindagi ka KHayal aur bas

    wo pur-sukun din

    wo jhilmilata jahan ki jis mein

    hum apne hisse ki zindagi kash walihana guzar pate

    ye chhoTi chhoTi si KHwahishen thin

    kisi baDe shahr ki kai manzila imarat se gir paDin hain

    phir un ka malba sameT kar hum

    bataur indhan najis mashinon mein jhok aae

    wo KHwahishen ab dhuan dhuan hain

    dhuan jo dil se nikal raha hai

    dhuan jo dil mein utar raha hai

    jo roz-o-shab ka hisar ban kar

    aziyyaton ke muhib sae mein Dhal raha hai

    magar ye sae zamane-bhar ki tamazaton ke muqable mein

    kisi bhi neamat se kam nahin hain

    lihaza un par bhi ab usul talab rasad ka nafaz hoga

    hisab-o-dftar ye mez kursi ke baad malum ho sakega

    ki apni gum-gashta hasraton ke sahab mein se

    hamare hisse mein kya bacha hai

    hamari qismat mein likha hai

    bisat-e-nau ke hamin khilaDi hami khilaune

    hamein tamasha lagane wale

    hamein fasana banane wale

    magar hamara na tazkira hai kahaniyon mein

    kisi tamashe mein koi kirdar tak nahin hai

    fana ke naghme rijaiyat ke suron mein gana

    hamein sikhaya hai zindagi ne

    yahi bataya hai zindagi ne

    hamare gham ka nisab tai hai

    hamari manzil bhi tai-shuda hai

    ki us se aage guzar hamara

    agar hua bhi to wajibi sa

    wo KHwab sare jo hum ne dekhe

    sarab nikle azab nikle

    ye zindagi bhi ajib shai hai

    ki us ko pane mein kho diya hai usi ko hum ne
