    aadam tārīḳh ke siine meñ Duube haiñ

    kitne sūraj kitne chāñd

    kaise kaise rang the miTTī se phūTe

    mauj havā ke bante aur bigaḌte rastoñ meñ Thahre

    aur ḳhaak hue

    niile aur athāh samundar ke hoñToñ pyaas bane

    aane vaale din āñkhoñ meñ lahrātī aas bane

    kaise kaise rang the jo miTTī se chamke

    aur chamak kar paḌ ga.e maañd

    kuchh sūraj aise phir bhī

    apnī apnī shaam meñ jo is dasht-e-ufuq rizq hue haiñ

    lekin ab tak raushan haiñ gahnā.e nahīñ

    phuul haiñ jin ko chhūne vaalī sabz havā.eñ ḳhaak huiiñ

    lekin ab tak taaza haiñ kumhlā.e nahīñ

    aisā ik sūraj thā vo ādam-zāda

    TuuTī īñToñ ke malbe se jaada jaada

    TukḌā TukḌā yakjā kar ke

    ek imārat buniyādeñ Daal rahā thā

    saat samundar jaise dil meñ

    un ke ġham ko paal rahā thā

    jin ke kaale tañg gharoñ meñ koī sūraj chāñd nahīñ thā

    phūloñ mahkār nahīñ thī bādal imkān nahīñ thā

    sub.h naam nishān nahīñ thā

    niiñd bharī āñkhoñ ke lawn meñ

    vo ḳhud sūraj ban kar ubhrā

    Dhaltī shab meñ puure chāñd sūrat niklā

    sub.h ke pahle darvāze par dastak ban kar guuñj uThā

    aaj maiñ jis manzil par khaḌā huuñ

    us par pīchhe muḌ kar dekhūñ

    to ik raushan moḌ pe ab bhī

    vo hāthoñ meñ

    aane vaale din jaltī sham.a thāme

    merī jānib dekh rahā hai

    jaane kyā vo soch rahā hai

    aadam ki tariKH ke sine mein Dube hain

    kitne suraj kitne chand

    kaise kaise rang the miTTi se phuTe

    mauj hawa ke bante aur bigaDte raston mein Thahre

    aur KHak hue

    nile aur athah samundar ke honTon ki pyas bane

    aane wale din ki aankhon mein lahraati aas bane

    kaise kaise rang the jo miTTi se chamke

    aur chamak kar paD gae mand

    kuchh suraj aise phir bhi

    apni apni sham mein jo is dasht-e-ufuq ka rizq hue hain

    lekin ab tak raushan hain gahnae nahin

    phul hain jin ko chhune wali sabz hawaen KHak huin

    lekin ab tak taza hain kumhlae nahin

    aisa hi ek suraj tha wo aadam-zada

    TuTi inTon ke malbe se jada jada

    TukDa TukDa yakja kar ke

    ek imarat ki buniyaaden Dal raha tha

    sat samundar jaise dil mein

    un ke gham ko pal raha tha

    jin ke kale tang gharon mein koi suraj chand nahin tha

    phulon ki mahkar nahin thi baadal ka imkan nahin tha

    subh ka nam nishan nahin tha

    nind bhari aankhon ke lawn mein

    wo KHud suraj ban kar ubhra

    Dhalti shab mein pure chand ki surat nikla

    subh ke pahle darwaze par dastak ban kar gunj uTha

    aaj main jis manzil par khaDa hun

    us par pichhe muD kar dekhun

    to ek raushan moD pe ab bhi

    wo hathon mein

    aane wale din ki jalti shama thame

    meri jaanib dekh raha hai

    jaane kya wo soch raha hai
