kyon qafas mein idhar-udhar dekhen
kyoñ qafas meñ idhar-udhar dekheñ
ab koī aur rahguzar dekheñ
ghir ga.e haiñ nishāna-bāzoñ meñ
tiir dekheñ ki apnā sar dekheñ
is tarah dekh duur jaate hue
ham tirī raah 'umr bhar dekheñ
band kamre meñ sirf ham hī haiñ
kis bharose idhar-udhar dekheñ
ret par kyoñ taḌaptī hai machhlī
aao dariyā meñ duub kar dekheñ
ab kisī raat shahr meñ us ke
kaise phirte haiñ dar-ba-dar dekheñ
apne malbe ko muñh dikhānā hai
ġhaur se pahle us kā ghar dekheñ
kyon qafas mein idhar-udhar dekhen
ab koi aur rahguzar dekhen
ghir gae hain nishana-bazon mein
tir dekhen ki apna sar dekhen
is tarah dekh dur jate hue
hum teri rah 'umr bhar dekhen
band kamre mein sirf hum hi hain
kis bharose idhar-udhar dekhen
ret par kyon taDapti hai machhli
aao dariya mein dub kar dekhen
ab kisi raat shahr mein us ke
kaise phirte hain dar-ba-dar dekhen
apne malbe ko munh dikhana hai
ghaur se pahle us ka ghar dekhen
