Khaali Khaali raston pe be-karan udasi hai
ḳhālī ḳhālī rastoñ pe be-karāñ udāsī hai
jism ke tamāshe meñ ruuh pyāsī pyāsī hai
ḳhvāb aur tamannā kā kyā hisāb rakhnā hai
ḳhvāhisheñ haiñ sadiyoñ kī umr to zarā sī hai
rāh-o-rasm rakhne ke ba.ad ham ne jaanā hai
vo jo āshnā.ī thī vo to nā-shanāsī hai
ham kisī na.e din kā intizār karte haiñ
din purāne sūraj kā shaam baasī baasī hai
dekh kar tumheñ koī kis tarah sambhal paa.e
sab havās jaage haiñ aisī bad-havāsī hai
zaḳhm ke chhupāne ko ham libās laa.e the
shahr bhar kā kahnā hai ye to ḳhūñ-libāsī hai
KHali KHali raston pe be-karan udasi hai
jism ke tamashe mein ruh pyasi pyasi hai
KHwab aur tamanna ka kya hisab rakhna hai
KHwahishen hain sadiyon ki umr to zara si hai
rah-o-rasm rakhne ke baad hum ne jaana hai
wo jo aashnai thi wo to na-shanasi hai
hum kisi nae din ka intizar karte hain
din purane suraj ka sham basi basi hai
dekh kar tumhein koi kis tarah sambhal pae
sab hawas jage hain aisi bad-hawasi hai
zaKHm ke chhupane ko hum libas lae the
shahr bhar ka kahna hai ye to KHun-libasi hai
