    shaah sāhab ḳhush-nazar the

    ḳhush-adā the

    aur rozī ke añdhere rāstoñ par

    sabr TuuTī huī chappal pahan kar

    ik lalak ik tantane ke saath sargarm-e-safar the

    aur jiine ke maraz meñ mubtalā the

    jo ġhizā.eñ dastaras meñ thiiñ

    ajab be-nūr thiiñ

    un meñ numū-kārī na thī

    vo jo motī aab āñkhoñ meñ thī

    jaatī rahī

    putliyoñ meñ ḳhuun

    kaa.ī tarah jamne lagā

    rafta rafta

    motiyābind un ke dīdoñ par

    zamurrad tarah utrā

    ajab pardā paḌā

    saare zamāne se hijāb aane lagā

    muztarib āñkhoñ ke Dhele

    ḳhushk pathrā.e hue

    itne be-masraf ki bas

    ik sabza darvāze ke pīchhe

    band siipī tarah se

    aur añdhere ā.īna dikhlā.eñ istinjā kareñ

    sirf dushman raushnī intizār-e-zindagānī ġhazva-e-ḳhandaq huī

    is qadar dekhā ki nā-bīnā hue

    aur jab ravāq nigāhoñ meñ

    siyāhī silā.ī phir ga.ī

    chhitnār āñkhoñ se

    tajallī sunahrī patiyāñ girne lagīñ

    to shaah sāhab aur be-sāya hue

    un andhī muntaqim āñkhoñ meñ duniyā

    ek qātil tarah se jam ga.ī

    jaise marte saañp āñkhoñ meñ

    apne ajnabī dushman aks

    yuuñ sarāsīma hue

    yuuñ zaat ke sunsān sahrāoñ meñ afsurda phire

    jaise jiite jāgte logoñ ko dekhā na ho

    jo shabīheñ dhyān meñ mahfūz thiiñ

    in se rishta na ho

    jagmagātī be-qarār āñkheñ

    kisī sahme hue ghoñghe ke hāthoñ tarah

    dekhtī thiiñ sūñghtī thiiñ lams kartī thiiñ

    vahī jaatī rahīñ to zindagī se rābta jaatā rahā

    hamdamī silsila jaatā rahā

    vo jo ik gahrā ta.alluq

    ik amar sambañdh

    chāroñ-taraf bikhrī huī chīzoñ se thā

    hañste hue rote hue logoñ se thā

    is tarah TuuTā ki jaise sher ik jast se

    zubair riiḌh haDDī chīḳh jaatī hai

    barsoñ be-tarah be-kal rahe

    ek din āñkhoñ meñ sahrā jal uThā

    vo ḳhayāl aayā ki chehra jal uThā

    apne beToñ ko kaleje se lagāyā

    bharā thā abr ke mānind ro.e

    rah chuke to ek mohlik ātishīñ tezāb ke

    sho.ala-e-saffāk se

    un fāqa-sanj āñkhoñ ko jalāyā

    aur sajde meñ gire

    jaise gahrī niiñd meñ hoñ

    jaise ik sakte meñ hoñ

    muddatoñ se un bayābāñ rāstoñ par

    chaar andhe dostoñ ek koras gūñjtā hai

    ai sakhī shahr-e-saḳhāvat meñ guzār auqāt kar

    ai nazr vaale nazr ḳhairāt kar

    shah sahab KHush-nazar the

    KHush-ada the

    aur rozi ke andhere raston par

    sabr ki TuTi hui chappal pahan kar

    ek lalak ek tantane ke sath sargarm-e-safar the

    aur jine ke maraz mein mubtala the

    jo ghizaen dastaras mein thin

    ajab be-nur thin

    un mein numu-kari na thi

    wo jo moti ki si aab aankhon mein thi

    jati rahi

    putliyon mein KHun

    kai ki tarah jamne laga

    rafta rafta

    motiyabind un ke didon par

    zamurrad ki tarah utra

    ajab parda paDa

    sare zamane se hijab aane laga

    muztarib aankhon ke Dhele

    KHushk pathrae hue

    itne be-masraf ki bas

    ek sabza darwaze ke pichhe

    band sipi ki tarah se

    aur andhere aaina dikhlaen istinja karen

    sirf dushman raushni ka intizar-e-zindagani ghazwa-e-KHandaq hui

    is qadar dekha ki na-bina hue

    aur jab rawaq nigahon mein

    siyahi ki silai phir gai

    chhitnar aankhon se

    tajalli ki sunahri patiyan girne lagin

    to shah sahab aur be-saya hue

    un ki andhi muntaqim aankhon mein duniya

    ek qatil ki tarah se jam gai

    jaise marte sanp ki aankhon mein

    apne ajnabi dushman ka aks

    yun sarasima hue

    yun zat ke sunsan sahraon mein afsurda phire

    jaise jite jagte logon ko dekha hi na ho

    jo shabihen dhyan mein mahfuz thin

    in se rishta hi na ho

    jagmagati be-qarar aankhen

    kisi sahme hue ghonghe ke hathon ki tarah

    dekhti thin sunghti thin lams karti thin

    wahi jati rahin to zindagi se rabta jata raha

    hamdami ka silsila jata raha

    wo jo ek gahra talluq

    ek amar sambandh sa

    chaaron-taraf bikhri hui chizon se tha

    hanste hue rote hue logon se tha

    is tarah TuTa ki jaise sher ki ek jast se

    zubair ki riDh ki haDDi chiKH jati hai

    barson be-tarah be-kal rahe

    ek din aankhon mein sahra jal uTha

    wo KHayal aaya ki chehra jal uTha

    apne beTon ko kaleje se lagaya

    ji bhara tha abr ke manind roe

    rah chuke to ek mohlik aatishin tezab ke

    shoala-e-saffak se

    un ki faqa-sanj aankhon ko jalaya

    aur sajde mein gire

    jaise gahri nind mein hon

    jaise ek sakte mein hon

    muddaton se un bayaban raston par

    chaar andhe doston ka ek koras gunjta hai

    ai sakhi shahr-e-saKHawat mein guzar auqat kar

    ai nazr wale nazr KHairaat kar
