aaj ik aur baras biit gayā us ke baġhair
jis ke hote hue hote the zamāne mere
1929 - 2017 | Hyderabad, India
chheḌtī haiñ kabhī lab ko kabhī ruḳhsāroñ ko
tum ne zulfoñ ko bahut sar pe chaḌhā rakkhā hai
chheDti hain kabhi lab ko kabhi ruKHsaron ko
tum ne zulfon ko bahut sar pe chaDha rakkha hai
pareshānī se sar ke baal tak sab jhaḌ ga.e lekin
purānī jeb meñ kanghī jo pahle thī so ab bhī hai
pareshani se sar ke baal tak sab jhaD gae lekin
purani jeb mein kanghi jo pahle thi so ab bhi hai
zamāne kā chalan kyā pūchhte ho 'ḳhvāh-maḳhvāh' mujh se
vahī raftār be-Dhañgī jo pahle thī so ab bhī hai
zamane ka chalan kya puchhte ho 'KHwah-maKHwah' mujh se
wahi raftar be-Dhangi jo pahle thi so ab bhi hai
uḌā kar dekh le koī patangeñ apnī sheḳhī kī
bulandī par agar hoñ bhī to kanne kaaT saktā huuñ
uDa kar dekh le koi patangen apni sheKHi ki
bulandi par agar hon bhi to kanne kaT sakta hun
siyāsat-dāñ jo tab.ī maut marte
to sāzish kī zarūrat hī na hotī
siyasat-dan jo tabi maut marte
to sazish ki zarurat hi na hoti
