har ek gaam pe āsūdgī khaḌī hogī
safar kī āḳhirī manzil bahut kaḌī hogī

ye apne ḳhuun kī lahroñ meñ Dūbtī kashtī
bhañvar se bhaag ke sāhil pe jā paḌī hogī

musāfiro ye ḳhalish nok-e-ḳhār kī to nahīñ
zarūr paañv tale koī pañkhuḌī hogī

tire ḳhulūs-e-tahaffuz meñ shak nahīñ lekin
havā meñ ret kī dīvār gir paḌī hogī

nizām-e-qaid-e-musalsal meñ kaisī āzādī
khule jo paañv to hāthoñ meñ hathkaḌī hogī

tire farār kī sarhad qarīb thī lekin
mirī talāsh zarā duur jā paḌī hogī

tumhāre daur-e-musalsal kī munzabit tārīḳh
hamāre raqs-e-musalsal kī ik kaḌī hogī

mire gumān kī buniyād khokhlī niklī
tire yaqīñ kī imārat kahāñ khaḌī hogī

har ek gam pe aasudgi khaDi hogi
safar ki aaKHiri manzil bahut kaDi hogi

ye apne KHun ki lahron mein Dubti kashti
bhanwar se bhag ke sahil pe ja paDi hogi

musafiro ye KHalish nok-e-KHar ki to nahin
zarur panw tale koi pankhuDi hogi

tere KHulus-e-tahaffuz mein shak nahin lekin
hawa mein ret ki diwar gir paDi hogi

nizam-e-qaid-e-musalsal mein kaisi aazadi
khule jo panw to hathon mein hathkaDi hogi

tere farar ki sarhad qarib thi lekin
meri talash zara dur ja paDi hogi

tumhaare daur-e-musalsal ki munzabit tariKH
hamare raqs-e-musalsal ki ek kaDi hogi

mere guman ki buniyaad khokhli nikli
tere yaqin ki imarat kahan khaDi hogi
