itna sannaTa hai basti mein ki Dar jaega

itnā sannāTā hai bastī meñ ki Dar jā.egā

chāñd niklā bhī to chup-chāp guzar jā.egā

kyā ḳhabar thī ki havā tez chalegī itnī

saarā sahrā mire chehre pe bikhar jā.egā

ham kisī moḌ pe ruk jā.eñge chalte chalte

rāsta TuuTe hue pul pe Thahar jā.egā

bādbānoñ ne jo ehsān jatāyā us par

biich dariyā meñ vo kashtī se utar jā.egā

chalte rahiye ki saf-e-ham-safarāñ lambī hai

jis ko raste meñ Thaharnā hai Thahar jā.egā

dar-o-dīvār pe sadiyoñ kī kohr chhā.ī hai

ghar meñ sūraj bhī jo aayā to ThiThar jā.egā

fan vo jugnū hai jo uḌtā hai havā meñ 'qaisar'

band kar loge jo muTThī meñ to mar jā.egā

itna sannaTa hai basti mein ki Dar jaega

chand nikla bhi to chup-chap guzar jaega

kya KHabar thi ki hawa tez chalegi itni

sara sahra mere chehre pe bikhar jaega

hum kisi moD pe ruk jaenge chalte chalte

rasta TuTe hue pul pe Thahar jaega

baadbanon ne jo ehsan jataya us par

bich dariya mein wo kashti se utar jaega

chalte rahiye ki saf-e-ham-safaran lambi hai

jis ko raste mein Thaharna hai Thahar jaega

dar-o-diwar pe sadiyon ki kohr chhai hai

ghar mein suraj bhi jo aaya to ThiThar jaega

fan wo jugnu hai jo uDta hai hawa mein 'qaisar'

band kar loge jo muTThi mein to mar jaega
