main apna zehn apni nazar bechta raha
maiñ apnā zehn apnī nazar bechtā rahā
kāġhaz ke tājiroñ meñ hunar bechtā rahā
itnā dabā huā thā zarūrat ke bojh se
miTTī ke mol lā'l-o-guhar bechtā rahā
apne liye ḳharīd na paayā koī kiran
aur dūsroñ ko ḳhvāb-e-sahar bechtā rahā
kis tarh manzileñ mire qadmoñ ko chūmtīñ
maiñ rāste meñ zād-e-safar bechtā rahā
bhartā agar uḌaan to kyā khātā 'āshnā'
uḌne ko par banātā thā par bechtā rahā
main apna zehn apni nazar bechta raha
kaghaz ke tajiron mein hunar bechta raha
itna daba hua tha zarurat ke bojh se
miTTi ke mol la'l-o-guhar bechta raha
apne liye KHarid na paya koi kiran
aur dusron ko KHwab-e-sahar bechta raha
kis tarh manzilen mere qadmon ko chumtin
main raste mein zad-e-safar bechta raha
bharta agar uDan to kya khata 'ashna'
uDne ko par banata tha par bechta raha
