park ki aaKHiri adhuri bench

nīlgūñ jhiil meñ sunahre aks

kāsnī shaam kā rasīlā-pan

narm pattoñ ko gudgudī kartī

sarsarātī havā kī maddham chaap

būḌhe bargad kī oT se uThtī

ik madhur bāñsurī kī sargoshī

sabz tulsī ke bhīgte ras meñ

ek parchhā.īñ saa.e meñ mudġham

park kī āḳhirī adhūrī bench

kapkapāte hue badan ke saath

band muTThī meñ kāġhazī puḌiyā

jis ke andar pasījte namkīn

chand kachche pake makaī daane

jo hathelī ke lams ko pā kar

shahd-āmez ho chuke the sab

vaqt ke ābnūs chehre par

saare manzar badal chuke haiñ ab

malgajī shaam kī aziyyat meñ

bain kartī udaas ḳhāmoshī

zard bargad kī khokhlī jaḌ meñ

ik gilahrī kī sāl-ḳhūrda laash

ḳhushk tulsī ke bikhre pattoñ par

nīm-jāñ muzmahil niDhāl kalī

ghar palaTte hue parindoñ kī

dard meñ Dūbtī huī āvāz

park kī āḳhirī adhūrī bench

koī saaya na koī parchhā.īñ

charmarāyā huā sā ik kāġhaz

chand kachche pake makaī daane

jo bahut talḳh ho chuke haiñ ab

nilgun jhil mein sunahre aks

kasni sham ka rasila-pan

narm patton ko gudgudi karti

sarsaraati hawa ki maddham chap

buDhe bargad ki oT se uThti

ek madhur bansuri ki sargoshi

sabz tulsi ke bhigte ras mein

ek parchhain sae mein mudgham

park ki aaKHiri adhuri bench

kapkapate hue badan ke sath

band muTThi mein kaghazi puDiya

jis ke andar pasijte namkin

chand kachche pake makai dane

jo hatheli ke lams ko pa kar

shahd-amez ho chuke the sab

waqt ke aabnus chehre par

sare manzar badal chuke hain ab

malgaji sham ki aziyyat mein

bain karti udas KHamoshi

zard bargad ki khokhli jaD mein

ek gilahri ki sal-KHurda lash

KHushk tulsi ke bikhre patton par

nim-jaan muzmahil niDhaal kali

ghar palaTte hue parindon ki

dard mein Dubti hui aawaz

park ki aaKHiri adhuri bench

koi saya na koi parchhain

charmaraya hua sa ek kaghaz

chand kachche pake makai dane

jo bahut talKH ho chuke hain ab
