main ye kis ke nam likkhun jo alam guzar rahe hain
maiñ ye kis ke naam likkhūñ jo alam guzar rahe haiñ
mire shahr jal rahe haiñ mire log mar rahe haiñ
koī ġhuncha ho ki gul ho koī shāḳh ho shajar ho
vo havā-e-gulsitāñ hai ki sabhī bikhar rahe haiñ
kabhī rahmateñ thiiñ nāzil isī ḳhitta-e-zamīñ par
vahī ḳhitta-e-zamīñ hai ki 'azāb utar rahe haiñ
vahī tā.eroñ ke jhurmuT jo havā meñ jhūlte the
vo fazā ko dekhte haiñ to ab aah bhar rahe haiñ
baḌī aarzū thī ham ko na.e ḳhvāb dekhne kī
so ab apnī zindagī meñ na.e ḳhvāb bhar rahe haiñ
koī aur to nahīñ hai pas-e-ḳhanjar-āzmā.ī
hamīñ qatl ho rahe haiñ hamīñ qatl kar rahe haiñ
main ye kis ke nam likkhun jo alam guzar rahe hain
mere shahr jal rahe hain mere log mar rahe hain
koi ghuncha ho ki gul ho koi shaKH ho shajar ho
wo hawa-e-gulsitan hai ki sabhi bikhar rahe hain
kabhi rahmaten thin nazil isi KHitta-e-zamin par
wahi KHitta-e-zamin hai ki 'azab utar rahe hain
wahi taeron ke jhurmuT jo hawa mein jhulte the
wo faza ko dekhte hain to ab aah bhar rahe hain
baDi aarzu thi hum ko nae KHwab dekhne ki
so ab apni zindagi mein nae KHwab bhar rahe hain
koi aur to nahin hai pas-e-KHanjar-azmai
hamin qatl ho rahe hain hamin qatl kar rahe hain
