kuchh baat nahīñ jism agar merā jalā hai
sad-shukr ki us bazm se sho.ala to uThā hai

maanā ki mire lawn kī phir sabz huī ghaas
is meñh meñ paḌosī kā makāñ bhī to girā hai

sardī hai ki is jism se phir bhī nahīñ jaatī
sūraj hai ki muddat se mire sar par khaḌā hai

har samt ḳhamoshī hai magar kahte haiñ kuchh log
is shahr meñ ik shor qayāmat kā bapā hai

dīvār se go iiñT khisak kar paḌī sar par
sad-shukr ki rauzan koī zindāñ meñ khulā hai

ab dekhiye kis raah meñ dīvār banegā
Dhalvān pe ik sañg-e-girāñ chal to paḌā hai

is saal mire khet meñ ole bhī paḌe haiñ
is saal mirī fasl ko kiiḌā bhī lagā hai

āñkheñ mirī raushan raheñ ḳhush-hāl rahūñ maiñ
ik andhī bhikāran kī mire haq meñ duā hai

maiñ bhuuk se behāl huuñ to ser-shikam hai
kyā merā ḳhudā vo nahīñ jo terā ḳhudā hai

kuchh baat nahin jism agar mera jala hai
sad-shukr ki us bazm se shoala to uTha hai

mana ki mere lawn ki phir sabz hui ghas
is meinh mein paDosi ka makan bhi to gira hai

sardi hai ki is jism se phir bhi nahin jati
suraj hai ki muddat se mere sar par khaDa hai

har samt KHamoshi hai magar kahte hain kuchh log
is shahr mein ek shor qayamat ka bapa hai

diwar se go inT khisak kar paDi sar par
sad-shukr ki rauzan koi zindan mein khula hai

ab dekhiye kis rah mein diwar banega
Dhalwan pe ek sang-e-giran chal to paDa hai

is sal mere khet mein ole bhi paDe hain
is sal meri fasl ko kiDa bhi laga hai

aankhen meri raushan rahen KHush-haal rahun main
ek andhi bhikaran ki mere haq mein dua hai

main bhuk se behaal hun to ser-shikam hai
kya mera KHuda wo nahin jo tera KHuda hai
