kaun pahchane mujhe shab bhar to KHatron mein raha
kaun pahchāne mujhe shab bhar to ḳhatroñ meñ rahā
vo añdherā huuñ jo din bhar band kamroñ meñ rahā
sab kī nazreñ roz paḌtī thiiñ koī paḌhtā na thā
maiñ to har aḳhbār kī gumnām ḳhabroñ meñ rahā
maiñ ne duniyā chhoḌ dī lekin mirā murda badan
ek uljhan kī tarah qātil kī nazroñ meñ rahā
aaj kā insān chādar oḌh kar ehsās kī
zindagī ke shahr meñ jī kar bhī qabroñ meñ rahā
vaqt ne qatroñ ko samjhā hai samundar kī tarah
jo samundar thā hamesha chand qatroñ meñ rahā
jis ko baḳhshā hai ḳhudā ne fikr kā jazba 'nazīr'
vo purānī aur na.ī saarī hī qadroñ meñ rahā
kaun pahchane mujhe shab bhar to KHatron mein raha
wo andhera hun jo din bhar band kamron mein raha
sab ki nazren roz paDti thin koi paDhta na tha
main to har aKHbar ki gumnam KHabron mein raha
main ne duniya chhoD di lekin mera murda badan
ek uljhan ki tarah qatil ki nazron mein raha
aaj ka insan chadar oDh kar ehsas ki
zindagi ke shahr mein ji kar bhi qabron mein raha
waqt ne qatron ko samjha hai samundar ki tarah
jo samundar tha hamesha chand qatron mein raha
jis ko baKHsha hai KHuda ne fikr ka jazba 'nazir'
wo purani aur nai sari hi qadron mein raha
