dekhta tha main palaT kar har aan
dekhtā thā maiñ palaT kar har aan
kis sadā kā thā na jaane imkān
us kī ik baat ko tanhā mat kar
vo ki hai rabt-e-navā meñ gunjān
TuuTī bikhrī koī shai thī aisī
jis ne qaa.em kī hamārī pahchān
log manzil pe the ham se pahle
thā koī rāsta shāyad āsān
sab se kamzor akele ham the
ham pe the shahr ke saare bohtān
os se pyaas kahāñ bujhtī hai
mūslā-dhār baras merī jaan
kyā ajab shahr-e-ġhazal hai 'bānī'
lafz shaitān suḳhan be-īmān
dekhta tha main palaT kar har aan
kis sada ka tha na jaane imkan
us ki ek baat ko tanha mat kar
wo ki hai rabt-e-nawa mein gunjaan
TuTi bikhri koi shai thi aisi
jis ne qaem ki hamari pahchan
log manzil pe the hum se pahle
tha koi rasta shayad aasan
sab se kamzor akele hum the
hum pe the shahr ke sare bohtan
os se pyas kahan bujhti hai
musla-dhaar baras meri jaan
kya ajab shahr-e-ghazal hai 'bani'
lafz shaitan suKHan be-iman
