    dil pahāḌoñ par chalā jaa.e ki maidānoñ meñ ho

    bhiiḌ meñ logoñ ḳhālī shabistānoñ meñ ho

    shor phir bhī tez tūfānoñ sūrat har ghaḌī

    toḌtā rahtā hai ḳhalvat-ḳhvāh sīnoñ jumūd

    reza reza ho ga.e merī tarah kitne vajūd

    ab nahīñ mumkin kisī sahrā meñ majnūñ varūd

    nā-tavāñ shaḳhsiyateñ barqī tavānā.ī liye

    raat ke kaale badan ko chaaT kar haiñ mutma.in

    jal rahā hai har shajar is shahr ab raat din

    uḌ rahe haiñ haath se totoñ sūrat sāl-o-sin

    raushnī rañg jaise kuchh samajh aatā nahīñ

    shahr tahzīb ruḳh kis taraf hai kyā pata

    aadmī saada hai ḳhanjar-ba-kaf hai kyā pata

    kis liye ye shor-e-mohmal saf-ba-saf hai kyā pata

    maiñ ne har andāz se samjhā hai saare shahr ko

    shahr jo ḳhvāboñ ke jañgal ke sivā kuchh bhī nahīñ

    umr saarī chhīn kar jis ne diyā kuchh bhī nahīñ

    jaise mere vāste baaqī rahā kuchh bhī nahīñ

    apne gāloñ par tamāñcha jaḌ ke ḳhush ho jā.ūñ meñ

    aaj raushan qumqumoñ ke beach jaagā ye shu.ūr

    yuuñ to har mausam ke chehre par numāyāñ haiñ sutūr

    ik parinda tak nahīñ lekin havā meñ duur duur

    machhliyāñ chhat par sikhāne ke liye jab ḳhvāhisheñ

    sīḌhiyoñ par paañv rakhtī haiñ to aa jaatī hai chiil

    Thoñk jā.egī ab shāyad sabhī zehnoñ meñ kiil

    uTh rahī hai har taraf jalte añdheroñ fasīl

    gerua kapḌoñ meñ lipTā zard mustaqbil mujhe

    mashvara detā rahegā aur maiñ mar jā.ūñgā

    dil pahaDon par chala jae ki maidanon mein ho

    bhiD mein logon ki ya KHali shabistanon mein ho

    shor phir bhi tez tufanon ki surat har ghaDi

    toDta rahta hai KHalwat-KHwah sinon ka jumud

    reza reza ho gae meri tarah kitne wajud

    ab nahin mumkin kisi sahra mein majnun ka warud

    na-tawan shaKHsiyaten barqi tawanai liye

    raat ke kale badan ko chaT kar hain mutmain

    jal raha hai har shajar is shahr ka ab raat din

    uD rahe hain hath se toton ki surat sal-o-sin

    raushni ka rang jaise kuchh samajh aata nahin

    shahr ki tahzib ka ruKH kis taraf hai kya pata

    aadmi sada hai ya KHanjar-ba-kaf hai kya pata

    kis liye ye shor-e-mohmal saf-ba-saf hai kya pata

    main ne har andaz se samjha hai sare shahr ko

    shahr jo KHwabon ke jangal ke siwa kuchh bhi nahin

    umr sari chhin kar jis ne diya kuchh bhi nahin

    jaise mere waste baqi raha kuchh bhi nahin

    apne galon par tamancha jaD ke KHush ho jaun mein

    aaj raushan qumqumon ke beach jaga ye shuur

    yun to har mausam ke chehre par numayan hain sutur

    ek parinda tak nahin lekin hawa mein dur dur

    machhliyan chhat par sikhane ke liye jab KHwahishen

    siDhiyon par panw rakhti hain to aa jati hai chil

    Thonk di jaegi ab shayad sabhi zehnon mein kil

    uTh rahi hai har taraf jalte andheron ki fasil

    gerua kapDon mein lipTa zard mustaqbil mujhe

    mashwara deta rahega aur main mar jaunga
