sadma

bastī kī bīmār galī meñ

shahnā.ī jab jab gūñjī hai

maañ ne aksar mujh se kahā hai

tum bhī apnā byaah rachā lo

maiñ ghar ke kone meñ baiThā

shor sun rahā huuñ shahroñ kā

ghāyal nadiyoñ kī lahroñ kā

parbat par baiThā ik jogī

apnī āñkheñ band kiye mujh par hañstā hai

aur vo mustaqbil kī aurat

kabhī sarāsar zahr ugaltī

kabhī anokhā zahar nigaltī

piiT rahī hai chaaT rahī hai chhātī merī

dariyā jañgal parbat sahrā

shor hai kitnā andar bāhar

pal pal jaise kuuḌe lagā rahī hai ḳhvāhish

sadiyoñ ke pyāse neze paivast hue phir

sūkhī aur be-rañg ragoñ meñ

ḳhuun ke ik qatre kī ḳhātir

sadiyoñ kī rāheñ tai karnā

koī mushkil kaam nahīñ hai

bahr-e-kashākash ke sāhil par

rāhat patthar toḌ rahī hai

mauj-e-tamannā chaTTānoñ se apnā māthā phoḌ rahī hai

maiñ ghar ke kone meñ baiThā

shor sun rahā huuñ mamtā kā

haañ ab maiñ soch rahā huuñ

aisā koī raas rachā.ūñ

ammāñ kī būḌhī chhātī par

ek nayā sadma ban jā.ūñ

basti ki bimar gali mein

shahnai jab jab gunji hai

man ne aksar mujh se kaha hai

tum bhi apna byah racha lo

main ghar ke kone mein baiTha

shor sun raha hun shahron ka

ghayal nadiyon ki lahron ka

parbat par baiTha ek jogi

apni aankhen band kiye mujh par hansta hai

aur wo mustaqbil ki aurat

kabhi sarasar zahr ugalti

kabhi anokha zahar nigalti

piT rahi hai chaT rahi hai chhati meri

dariya jangal parbat sahra

shor hai kitna andar bahar

pal pal jaise kuDe laga rahi hai KHwahish

sadiyon ke pyase neze paiwast hue phir

sukhi aur be-rang ragon mein

KHun ke ek qatre ki KHatir

sadiyon ki rahen tai karna

koi mushkil kaam nahin hai

bahr-e-kashakash ke sahil par

rahat patthar toD rahi hai

mauj-e-tamanna chaTTanon se apna matha phoD rahi hai

main ghar ke kone mein baiTha

shor sun raha hun mamta ka

han ab main soch raha hun

aisa koi ras rachaun

amman ki buDhi chhati par

ek naya sadma ban jaun
