hadson se be-KHabar the log dharti par tamam


hādsoñ se be-ḳhabar the log dhartī par tamām
āsmāñ kī nīlgūñ āñkhoñ meñ the manzar tamām

rafta rafta rasm-e-sañg-bārī jahāñ se uTh ga.ī
dhīre dhīre ho ga.e bastī ke sab patthar tamām

tishna-lab dhartī pe jab bahtā hai pyāsoñ kā lahū
muddatoñ maqtal meñ sar ḳham rahte haiñ ḳhanjar tamām

zindagī bikhrī huī hai is tarah fōtpath par
bastiyāñ ābād haiñ aur log haiñ be-ghar tamām

shāhrāheñ daf.atan sho.ale ugalne lag ga.iiñ
ghar kī jānib chal paḌā hai shahr ghabrā kar tamām

sub.h ke saare ujāle rāstoñ meñ kho ga.e
shab ke añdhiyāroñ meñ gum haiñ shaam ke manzar tamām

ab kahāñ vo log vo raunaq vo naġhme vo fazā
shahr kī galiyāñ haiñ suunī suune bām-o-dar tamām

hadson se be-KHabar the log dharti par tamam
aasman ki nilgun aankhon mein the manzar tamam

rafta rafta rasm-e-sang-bari jahan se uTh gai
dhire dhire ho gae basti ke sab patthar tamam

tishna-lab dharti pe jab bahta hai pyason ka lahu
muddaton maqtal mein sar KHam rahte hain KHanjar tamam

zindagi bikhri hui hai is tarah footpath par
bastiyan aabaad hain aur log hain be-ghar tamam

shahrahen dafatan shoale ugalne lag gain
ghar ki jaanib chal paDa hai shahr ghabra kar tamam

subh ke sare ujale raston mein kho gae
shab ke andhiyaron mein gum hain sham ke manzar tamam

ab kahan wo log wo raunaq wo naghme wo faza
shahr ki galiyan hain suni sune baam-o-dar tamam
