ab na wo shaKH hai na patthar hai
ab na vo shāḳh hai na patthar hai
kab se jañgal meñ koī be-ghar hai
koī saaya nazar nahīñ aatā
jab se āñkhoñ meñ ek paikar hai
haañ kabhī ghūmtī rahī hogī
ab zamīñ be-niyāz-e-mehvar hai
zahr piine koī nahīñ aatā
kitnā be-tāb ye samundar hai
ruuTh kar chal diye na.e raahī
sar jhukā.e khaḌā sanobar hai
muḌ ke dekho to sañg ho jaao
aur aage baḌho samundar hai
apnā shīsha liye kahāñ jā.ūñ
shahr kā shahr saarā patthar hai
ab na wo shaKH hai na patthar hai
kab se jangal mein koi be-ghar hai
koi saya nazar nahin aata
jab se aankhon mein ek paikar hai
han kabhi ghumti rahi hogi
ab zamin be-niyaz-e-mehwar hai
zahr pine koi nahin aata
kitna be-tab ye samundar hai
ruTh kar chal diye nae rahi
sar jhukae khaDa sanobar hai
muD ke dekho to sang ho jao
aur aage baDho samundar hai
apna shisha liye kahan jaun
shahr ka shahr sara patthar hai
