    gavāh rahnā

    ye past-qāmat karīh chehroñ ghamanD lahjoñ sisaktī sargoshiyoñ ke hāmil

    mire qabīle ke sūrmā sab

    najis akhāḌoñ meñ apne lāġhar nahīf jismoñ ko chāTte haiñ

    mire qabīle ke falsafa-gar

    ġhalīz fāsid rutūbatoñ se bharī Tapaktī sarāb sochoñ se kaam le kar ajiib mantiq tarāshte haiñ

    ye falsafa-gar sadā-o-āhang-o-harf-o-ma.anī ko zaḳhm de kar lahū kachchā khuranD dāñtoñ se nochte haiñ

    gavāh rahnā

    ki shahr-e-be-faiz meñ numū koī havāla bhī mo'atabar na.iiñ

    lahū meñ lithḌī burīda lāshoñ ġham uThāte

    udaas chehroñ ġhubār jismoñ se zindagī zarā guzar na.iiñ

    ki aise be-mehr āb-o-gil meñ

    bilakte lahjoñ uchāT nīñdoñ adhūre ḳhvāboñ ke dukh uThā.e

    fasīl-e-shorish pe saañs roke qadam jamā.e

    ufuq ke mutavāzī chalne vāloñ meñ ek thā vo

    aur ek thā

    jo past-o-bālā ke sab manāzir nazar meñ rakkhe

    ghuTan bhare habs mausamoñ siyāh sāzish se

    shahr-e-be-faiz ko bachāne nikal paḌā thā

    qabīle vaalo gavāh rahnā

    abad se imkān-e-be-makānī

    shurūa o āḳhir se apnī pahchāñ justujū vo ek vāris

    fasīl-e-shorish ke ḳhasta ziine ḳharāb gumbad

    tabāh mīnāroñ TuuTe burjoñ ke is khañDar meñ

    ufuq ke mutavāzī chaar atrāf chalne vaale

    azaab tīroñ ko apne siine pe sahte sahte

    niDhāl hijrat āḳhirī had pe chukā hai

    vo apne ajdād rivāyat nām-levā

    bahut bulandī pe chukā hai

    qabīle vaalo gavāh rahnā

    gawah rahna

    ye past-qamat karih chehron ghamanD lahjon sisakti sargoshiyon ke hamil

    mere qabile ke surma sab

    najis akhaDon mein apne laghar nahif jismon ko chaTte hain

    mere qabile ke falsafa-gar

    ghaliz fasid rutubaton se bhari Tapakti sarab sochon se kaam le kar ajib mantiq tarashte hain

    ye falsafa-gar sada-o-ahang-o-harf-o-mani ko zaKHm de kar lahu ka kachcha khuranD danton se nochte hain

    gawah rahna

    ki shahr-e-be-faiz mein numu ka koi hawala bhi mo'atabar nain

    lahu mein lithDi burida lashon ka gham uThate

    udas chehron ghubar jismon se zindagi ka zara guzar nain

    ki aise be-mehr aab-o-gil mein

    bilakte lahjon uchaT nindon adhure KHwabon ke dukh uThae

    fasil-e-shorish pe sans roke qadam jamae

    ufuq ke mutawazi chalne walon mein ek tha wo

    aur ek hi tha

    jo past-o-baala ke sab manazir nazar mein rakkhe

    ghuTan bhare habs mausamon ki siyah sazish se

    shahr-e-be-faiz ko bachane nikal paDa tha

    qabile walo gawah rahna

    abad se imkan-e-be-makani

    shurua o aaKHir se apni pahchan ki justuju ka wo ek waris

    fasil-e-shorish ke KHasta zine KHarab gumbad

    tabah minaron TuTe burjon ke is khanDar mein

    ufuq ke mutawazi chaar atraf chalne wale

    azab tiron ko apne sine pe sahte sahte

    niDhaal hijrat ki aaKHiri had pe ja chuka hai

    wo apne ajdad ki riwayat ka nam-lewa

    bahut bulandi pe ja chuka hai

    qabile walo gawah rahna
