taqrib-e-ru-numai
kitāb chhap ga.ī chhe rañge title ke saath
tabā.at aur kitābat koī javāb nahīñ
ye rañg aur ye navve gram kā paper
adab ke baab meñ aisī koī kitāb nahīñ
sajī thī bazm-e-pazīrā.ī ek hotel meñ
jahāñ gulāb se chehre to the gulāb nahīñ
kisī vazīr ne is bazm kī sadārat kī
ye baat mujh ko batāne se ijtināb nahīñ
ḳhushā ki bazm meñ hāzir the radio T.V
nizām-e-gardish-e-daurāñ tirā javāb nahīñ
muqarrarīn meñ shāmil the sab haiñ dānish-var
vo hastiyāñ thiiñ jinheñ dekhne kī taab nahīñ
ye kah ke 'ġhālib' o 'momin' kā de diyā darja
adab meñ aisā koī aur āftāb nahīñ
magar kitāb kī taqrīb-e-rū-numā.ī meñ
kitāb chīḳh rahī thī ki maiñ kitāb nahīñ
kitab chhap gai chhe range title ke sath
tabaat aur kitabat koi jawab nahin
ye rang aur ye nawwe gram ka paper
adab ke bab mein aisi koi kitab nahin
saji thi bazm-e-pazirai ek hotel mein
jahan gulab se chehre to the gulab nahin
kisi wazir ne is bazm ki sadarat ki
ye baat mujh ko batane se ijtinab nahin
KHusha ki bazm mein hazir the radio TV
nizam-e-gardish-e-dauran tera jawab nahin
muqarrarin mein shamil the sab hain danish-war
wo hastiyan thin jinhen dekhne ki tab nahin
ye kah ke 'ghaalib' o 'momin' ka de diya darja
adab mein aisa koi aur aaftab nahin
magar kitab ki taqrib-e-ru-numai mein
kitab chiKH rahi thi ki main kitab nahin
