takiya
imārat aur shaukat aur sarmā.e kī tasvīreñ
ye aivānāt sab haiñ haal hī kī taaza tāmīreñ
idhar kuchh fāsle par chand ghar the kāsht-kāroñ ke
jahāñ ab kār-ḳhāne ban ga.e sarmāya-dāroñ ke
maveshī ho ga.e nīlām kyuuñ ye koī kyā jaane
kachehrī jaane sāhūkār jaane yā ḳhudā jaane
zamīñ-dāroñ ko jā kar dekh le jo bhī koī chāhe
na.e bhaTToñ meñ īñTeñ thāpte phirte haiñ halvāhe
yahāñ apne purāne gaañv kā ab kyā rahā baaqī
yahī takiya yahī ik maiñ yahī ik jhoñpaḌā baaqī
azīmushshān bastī hai ye nau-ābād vīrāna
yahāñ ham ajnabī donoñ haiñ maiñ aur merā kāshāna
imarat aur shaukat aur sarmae ki taswiren
ye aiwanat sab hain haal hi ki taza tamiren
idhar kuchh fasle par chand ghar the kasht-karon ke
jahan ab kar-KHane ban gae sarmaya-daron ke
maweshi ho gae nilam kyun ye koi kya jaane
kachehri jaane sahukar jaane ya KHuda jaane
zamin-daron ko ja kar dekh le jo bhi koi chahe
nae bhaTTon mein inTen thapte phirte hain halwahe
yahan apne purane ganw ka ab kya raha baqi
yahi takiya yahi ek main yahi ek jhonpaDa baqi
azimushshan basti hai ye nau-abaad virana
yahan hum ajnabi donon hain main aur mera kashana
