pa-ba-gil sab hain rihai ki kare tadbir kaun

pā-ba-gil sab haiñ rihā.ī kī kare tadbīr kaun

dast-basta shahr meñ khole mirī zanjīr kaun

merā sar hāzir hai lekin merā munsif dekh le

kar rahā hai merī fard-e-jurm ko tahrīr kaun

aaj darvāzoñ pe dastak jaanī pahchānī sī hai

aaj mere naam laatā hai mirī ta.azīr kaun

koī maqtal ko gayā thā muddatoñ pahle magar

hai dar-e-ḳhema pe ab tak sūrat-e-tasvīr kaun

merī chādar to chhinī thī shaam kī tanhā.ī meñ

be-ridā.ī ko mirī phir de gayā tash.hīr kaun

sach jahāñ pā-basta mulzim ke kaTahre meñ mile

us adālat meñ sunegā adl kī tafsīr kaun

niiñd jab ḳhvāboñ se pyārī ho to aise ahd meñ

ḳhvāb dekhe kaun aur ḳhvāboñ ko de tābīr kaun

ret abhī pichhle makānoñ kī na vāpas aa.ī thī

phir lab-e-sāhil gharauñdā kar gayā ta.amīr kaun

saare rishte hijratoñ meñ saath dete haiñ to phir

shahr se jaate hue hotā hai dāman-gīr kaun

dushmanoñ ke saath mere dost bhī āzād haiñ

dekhnā hai khīñchtā hai mujh pe pahlā tiir kaun

pa-ba-gil sab hain rihai ki kare tadbir kaun

dast-basta shahr mein khole meri zanjir kaun

mera sar hazir hai lekin mera munsif dekh le

kar raha hai meri fard-e-jurm ko tahrir kaun

aaj darwazon pe dastak jaani pahchani si hai

aaj mere nam lata hai meri tazir kaun

koi maqtal ko gaya tha muddaton pahle magar

hai dar-e-KHema pe ab tak surat-e-taswir kaun

meri chadar to chhini thi sham ki tanhai mein

be-ridai ko meri phir de gaya tashhir kaun

sach jahan pa-basta mulzim ke kaTahre mein mile

us adalat mein sunega adl ki tafsir kaun

nind jab KHwabon se pyari ho to aise ahd mein

KHwab dekhe kaun aur KHwabon ko de tabir kaun

ret abhi pichhle makanon ki na wapas aai thi

phir lab-e-sahil gharaunda kar gaya tamir kaun

sare rishte hijraton mein sath dete hain to phir

shahr se jate hue hota hai daman-gir kaun

dushmanon ke sath mere dost bhi aazad hain

dekhna hai khinchta hai mujh pe pahla tir kaun
