    mire vatan tirī ḳhidmat meñ le kar aayā huuñ

    jagah jagah ke tilismāt des des ke rañg

    purāne zehn raakh aur na.e diloñ umañg

    na dekh aisī nigāhoñ se mere ḳhālī haath

    na yuuñ ho merī tahī-dāmanī se sharminda

    base hue haiñ mire dil meñ saikḌoñ tohfe

    bahut se ġham ka.ī ḳhushiyāñ ka.ī anokhe log

    kahīñ se kaif kaif aur kahīñ se dard dard

    jinheñ uThā nahīñ saktā har ek dasht-navard

    jo thailiyoñ ke shikam meñ samā nahīñ sakte

    jo suitcase jeboñ meñ aa nahīñ sakte

    bichhaḌ ke tujh se ka.ī ajnabī dayāroñ ne

    mujhe gale se lagāyā mujhe tasallī

    mujhe batā.e shab-e-tīra-o-siyāh ke raaz

    mire badan ko sikhā.e hazār istilzāz

    kuchh is tarah mire pahlū meñ aa.e zohra-o-shams

    maiñ muddatoñ yahī samjhā kiyā ki jism lams

    azal se tā-ba-abad ek masarrat hai

    ki sab fareb hai merā badan haqīqat hai

    aur is tarah bhī huā hai ki merī tanhā.ī

    samundaroñ se lipaT kar havā se Takrā kar

    kabhī sameT ke mujh ko na.e jazīroñ meñ

    kabhī pahāḌ ke jharne tarah bikhrā kar

    kabhī biThā ke mujhe āsmāñ ke dosh-ba-dosh

    kabhī zamīñ tahoñ meñ jaḌoñ meñ phailā kar

    kuchh is tarah mire ehsās meñ samā.ī hai

    ki mujh ko zaat se bāhar nikāl laa.ī hai

    kuchh aisā ḳhvāb nā-ḳhvābiyāñ taarī thiiñ

    badan to kyā mujhe parchhā.iyāñ bhī bhārī thiiñ

    mire dayār kahāñ the tire tamāshā.ī

    ki dīdanī thā mirā jashn-e-ābla-pā.ī

    kuchh aise dost mile shahr-e-ġhair meñ ki mujhe

    ka.ī farishta-nafas dushmanoñ yaad aa.ī

    maiñ sochtā huuñ ki kam hoñge aise dīvāne

    na koī qadr ho jin na koī rusvā.ī

    mujhe bujhā na sakī yaḳh-zada havā-e-shumāl

    mujhe Dubo na sakī qulzumoñ gahrā.ī

    na jaane kaisā kurah thā mirā vajūd ki rose

    mire qarīb zamīñ ghūmtī huī aa.ī

    talāsh karte hue gum-shuda ḳhazānoñ ko

    bahut se misr ke fir.aun maqbaroñ meñ mile

    zabān-e-sañg meñ jo ham-kalām hote haiñ

    kuchh aise log purāne musass meñ mile

    buland-bām kalīsā meñ the vahī fankār

    jo ḳhasta-hāl masājid ke gumbadoñ meñ mile

    marī thakī huī ḳhvābīdgī se nālāñ the

    vo rat-jage jo masā.il karvaToñ meñ mile

    ka.ī surāġh nazar aa.e dāstānoñ meñ

    ka.ī charāġh kitāboñ ke hāshiyoñ meñ mile

    sunā ke apne urūj-o-zavāl ke qisse

    sabhī ne mujh se mirā rañg-e-dāstāñ pūchhā

    dikhā ke barf ke mausam mire buzurgoñ ne

    mizāj-e-sholgī-e-asr-e-naujavāñ pūchhā

    mirī jhukī huī āñkheñ talāsh kartī raheñ

    koī zamīr lahja koī usuul baat

    guzar ga.ī mirī palkoñ pe jāgtī huī raat

    nadāmatoñ pasīna jabīñ pe phuuT gayā

    mirī zabāñ pe tirā naam aa ke TuuT gayā

    qubūl kar ye nadāmat ki is pasīne

    har ek buuñd meñ chiñgāriyoñ ke sāñche haiñ

    qubūl kar mire chehre jhurriyāñ jin meñ

    kahīñ junūñ kahīñ tahzīb ke tamāñche haiñ

    sambhāl merā subuk hadiya-e-ġham-e-idrāk

    jo mujh ko saat samundar zahr ke milā

    saqāfatoñ ke har ātish-fishāñ meñ ke milā

    talab kiyā mujhe yūnān ke ḳhudāoñ ne

    janam liyā mire siine meñ devtāoñ ne

    fareb-o-hirs ke har rāste se moḌ diyā

    aur is ke ba.ad super market pe chhoḌ diyā

    jahāñ bas ek me.ār-e-ādamiyat thā

    hujūm-e-mard-o-zanāñ mahv-sair-e-vahshat thā

    ghaḌī husn na.e radio zebā.ī

    plastic ke kañval nylon tie

    italiya ke na.e boot hong-kong ke haar

    crisler na.ī range, tokyo ke siñgār

    har ek jism ko āsūdgī ḳhvāhish thī

    har ek aañkh meñ asbāb parastish thī

    ye inhimāk qayādat meñ bhī nahīñ miltā

    ye sū-e-nafs-e-ibādat meñ bhī nahīñ miltā

    mire vatan mire sāmān meñ to kuchh bhī nahīñ

    bas ek ḳhvāb hai aur ḳhvāb fasīleñ haiñ

    qubūl kar mirī mailī qamīz tohfa

    ki is ḳhaak meñ sajdoñ sar-zamīneñ haiñ

    na dhul sakegā ye dāman ki us ke siine par

    'biyāfrā' ke muqaddas lahū ke chhīñTeñ haiñ

    ye vietnam miTTī hai jis ke zarroñ meñ

    payambaroñ damaktī huī jabīneñ haiñ

    mere watan teri KHidmat mein le kar aaya hun

    jagah jagah ke tilismat des des ke rang

    purane zehn ki rakh aur nae dilon ki umang

    na dekh aisi nigahon se mere KHali hath

    na yun ho meri tahi-damani se sharminda

    base hue hain mere dil mein saikDon tohfe

    bahut se gham kai KHushiyan kai anokhe log

    kahin se kaif hi kaif aur kahin se dard hi dard

    jinhen uTha nahin sakta har ek dasht-naward

    jo thailiyon ke shikam mein sama nahin sakte

    jo suitcase ki jebon mein aa nahin sakte

    bichhaD ke tujh se kai ajnabi dayaron ne

    mujhe gale se lagaya mujhe tasalli di

    mujhe batae shab-e-tira-o-siyah ke raaz

    mere badan ko sikhae hazar istilzaz

    kuchh is tarah mere pahlu mein aae zohra-o-shams

    main muddaton yahi samjha kiya ki jism ka lams

    azal se ta-ba-abad ek hi masarrat hai

    ki sab fareb hai mera badan haqiqat hai

    aur is tarah bhi hua hai ki meri tanhai

    samundaron se lipaT kar hawa se Takra kar

    kabhi sameT ke mujh ko nae jaziron mein

    kabhi pahaD ke jharne ki tarah bikhra kar

    kabhi biTha ke mujhe aasman ke dosh-ba-dosh

    kabhi zamin ki tahon mein jaDon mein phaila kar

    kuchh is tarah mere ehsas mein samai hai

    ki mujh ko zat se bahar nikal lai hai

    kuchh aisa KHwab sa na-KHwabiyan si tari thin

    badan to kya mujhe parchhaiyan bhi bhaari thin

    mere dayar kahan the tere tamashai

    ki didani tha mera jashn-e-abla-pai

    kuchh aise dost mile shahr-e-ghair mein ki mujhe

    kai farishta-nafas dushmanon ki yaad aai

    main sochta hun ki kam honge aise diwane

    na koi qadr ho jin ki na koi ruswai

    mujhe bujha na saki yaKH-zada hawa-e-shumal

    mujhe Dubo na saki qulzumon ki gahrai

    na jaane kaisa kurah tha mera wajud ki rose

    mere qarib zamin ghumti hui aai

    talash karte hue gum-shuda KHazanon ko

    bahut se misr ke firaun maqbaron mein mile

    zaban-e-sang mein jo ham-kalam hote hain

    kuchh aise log purane musass mein mile

    buland-baam kalisa mein the wahi fankar

    jo KHasta-haal masajid ke gumbadon mein mile

    mari thaki hui KHwabidgi se nalan the

    wo rat-jage jo masail ki karwaTon mein mile

    kai suragh nazar aae dastanon mein

    kai charagh kitabon ke hashiyon mein mile

    suna ke apne uruj-o-zawal ke qisse

    sabhi ne mujh se mera rang-e-dastan puchha

    dikha ke barf ke mausam mere buzurgon ne

    mizaj-e-sholgi-e-asr-e-naujawan puchha

    meri jhuki hui aankhen talash karti rahen

    koi zamir ka lahja koi usul ki baat

    guzar gai meri palkon pe jagti hui raat

    nadamaton ka pasina jabin pe phuT gaya

    meri zaban pe tera nam aa ke TuT gaya

    qubul kar ye nadamat ki is pasine ki

    har ek bund mein chingariyon ke sanche hain

    qubul kar mere chehre ki jhurriyan jin mein

    kahin junun kahin tahzib ke tamanche hain

    sambhaal mera subuk hadiya-e-gham-e-idrak

    jo mujh ko sat samundar ka zahr pi ke mila

    saqafaton ke har aatish-fishan mein ji ke mila

    talab kiya mujhe yunan ke KHudaon ne

    janam liya mere sine mein dewtaon ne

    fareb-o-hirs ke har raste se moD diya

    aur is ke baad super market pe chhoD diya

    jahan bas ek hi mear-e-adamiyat tha

    hujum-e-mard-o-zanan mahw-sair-e-wahshat tha

    ghaDi ka husn nae radio ki zebai

    plastic ke kanwal nylon ki tie

    italiya ke nae boot hong-kong ke haar

    crisler ki nai range, tokyo ke singar

    har ek jism ko aasudgi ki KHwahish thi

    har ek aankh mein asbab ki parastish thi

    ye inhimak qayaadat mein bhi nahin milta

    ye su-e-nafs-e-ibaadat mein bhi nahin milta

    mere watan mere saman mein to kuchh bhi nahin

    bas ek KHwab hai aur KHwab ki fasilen hain

    qubul kar meri maili qamiz ka tohfa

    ki is ki KHak mein sajdon ki sar-zaminen hain

    na dhul sakega ye daman ki us ke sine par

    'biyafra' ke muqaddas lahu ke chhinTen hain

    ye wietnam ki miTTi hai jis ke zarron mein

    payambaron ki damakti hui jabinen hain
