gada-e-shahr-e-ainda tahi-kasa milega
gadā-e-shahr-e-ā.inda tahī-kāsa milegā
tajāvuz aur tanhā.ī kī had par kyā milegā
siyāhī phertī jaatī haiñ rāteñ bahr o bar pe
inhī tārīkiyoñ se mujh ko bhī hissa milegā
maiñ apnī pyaas ke hamrāh mashkīza uThā.e
ki in sairāb logoñ meñ koī pyāsā milegā
rivāyat hai ki ābā.ī makānoñ par sitāra
bahut raushan magar namnāk o afsurda milegā
shajar haiñ aur is miTTī se paivasta raheñge
jo ham meñ se nahīñ āsā.ishoñ se jā milegā
ridā-e-reshmī oḌhe hue guzregī mish.al
nashist-e-sañg pe har sub.h gul-dasta milegā
vo ā.īna jise ujlat meñ chhoḌ aa.e the sāthī
na jaane bād-o-ḳhāk-āsār meñ kaisā milegā
use bhī yaad rakhnā bād-bānī sā.atoñ meñ
vo sayyāra kanār-e-sub.h-e-fardā aa milegā
charā-gāhoñ meñ ruk kar āsmānī ghanTiyoñ ko
suno kuchh der ki vo zamzama-pairā milegā
usī kī vādiyoñ meñ tā.irān-e-rizq-jū ko
nasheman aur ujlī niiñd kā dariyā milegā
usī jā-e-namāz o raaz pe ik roz 'sarvat'
achānak dar khulegā aur vo jhoñkā milegā
gada-e-shahr-e-ainda tahi-kasa milega
tajawuz aur tanhai ki had par kya milega
siyahi pherti jati hain raaten bahr o bar pe
inhi tarikiyon se mujh ko bhi hissa milega
main apni pyas ke hamrah mashkiza uThae
ki in sairab logon mein koi pyasa milega
riwayat hai ki aabai makanon par sitara
bahut raushan magar namnak o afsurda milega
shajar hain aur is miTTi se paiwasta rahenge
jo hum mein se nahin aasaishon se ja milega
rida-e-reshmi oDhe hue guzregi mishal
nashist-e-sang pe har subh gul-dasta milega
wo aaina jise ujlat mein chhoD aae the sathi
na jaane baad-o-KHak-asar mein kaisa milega
use bhi yaad rakhna baad-bani saaton mein
wo sayyara kanar-e-subh-e-farda aa milega
chara-gahon mein ruk kar aasmani ghanTiyon ko
suno kuchh der ki wo zamzama-paira milega
usi ki wadiyon mein tairan-e-rizq-ju ko
nasheman aur ujli nind ka dariya milega
usi ja-e-namaz o raaz pe ek roz 'sarwat'
achanak dar khulega aur wo jhonka milega
