shajar samajh ke mera ehtiram karte hain

shajar samajh ke mirā ehtirām karte haiñ

parinde raat ko mujh meñ qayām karte haiñ

suno tum āḳhir-e-shab guftugū daraḳhtoñ kī

ye kam-kalām bhī kyā kyā kalām karte haiñ

kahāñ kī zindagī ham ko to sharm maar ga.ī

ki terī chiiz hai aur tere naam karte haiñ

hameñ to is liye jā-e-namāz chāhiye hai

ki ham vajūd se bāhar qayām karte haiñ

agar kabhī mujhe maujūdgāñ se fursat ho

to raftagāñ mirī nīñdeñ harām karte haiñ

lahū ke ghūñT na piitā to aur kyā kartā

vo kah rahe the tirā intizām karte haiñ

hameñ samā.at-e-be-lafz kī ijāzat hai

hamāre saath parinde kalām karte haiñ

abhī to ghar meñ na baiTheñ kaho buzurgoñ se

abhī to shahr ke bachche salām karte haiñ

shajar samajh ke mera ehtiram karte hain

parinde raat ko mujh mein qayam karte hain

suno tum aaKHir-e-shab guftugu daraKHton ki

ye kam-kalam bhi kya kya kalam karte hain

kahan ki zindagi hum ko to sharm mar gai

ki teri chiz hai aur tere nam karte hain

hamein to is liye ja-e-namaz chahiye hai

ki hum wajud se bahar qayam karte hain

agar kabhi mujhe maujudgan se fursat ho

to raftagan meri ninden haram karte hain

lahu ke ghunT na pita to aur kya karta

wo kah rahe the tera intizam karte hain

hamein samaat-e-be-lafz ki ijazat hai

hamare sath parinde kalam karte hain

abhi to ghar mein na baiThen kaho buzurgon se

abhi to shahr ke bachche salam karte hain
