ganw rafta rafta bante jate hain ab shahr
gaañv rafta rafta bante jaate haiñ ab shahr
qarya qarya phail rahā hai tanhā.ī kā zahr
mujh ko Dastā rahtā hai bas har dam yahī ḳhayāl
ek hī ruḳh par kyuuñ bahtā hai dariyā āThoñ pahr
kaun sā bhūlā-bisrā ġham thā jo aayā hai yaad
rah rah kar phir dil meñ uTThe dard kī mīThī lahar
merā jiite rahnā bhī to ban gayā ek azaab
lekin merā marnā bhī to ho jā.egā qahr
lagtā hai kuchh anhonī sī hone vaalī hai
darham-barham hone ko hai jaise nizām-e-dahr
ganw rafta rafta bante jate hain ab shahr
qarya qarya phail raha hai tanhai ka zahr
mujh ko Dasta rahta hai bas har dam yahi KHayal
ek hi ruKH par kyun bahta hai dariya aaThon pahr
kaun sa bhula-bisra gham tha jo aaya hai yaad
rah rah kar phir dil mein uTThe dard ki miThi lahar
mera jite rahna bhi to ban gaya ek azab
lekin mera marna bhi to ho jaega qahr
lagta hai kuchh anhoni si hone wali hai
darham-barham hone ko hai jaise nizam-e-dahr
