main jab chhoTa sa tha kaghaz pe ye manzar banata tha
maiñ jab chhoTā sā thā kāġhaz pe ye manzar banātā thā
khujūroñ ke daraḳhtoñ ke tale ik ghar banātā thā
maiñ āñkheñ band kar ke sochtā rahtā thā pahroñ tak
ḳhayāloñ meñ bahut nāzuk sā ik paikar banātā thā
maiñ aksar āsmāñ ke chāñd taare toḌ laatā thā
aur ik nannhī sī guḌiyā ke liye zevar banātā thā
uḌā kar roz le jaatī thiiñ maujeñ mere ḳhvāboñ ko
magar maiñ bhī gharauñde roz sāhil par banātā thā
mirī bastī meñ mere ḳhuun ke pyāse the sab lekin
na maiñ talvār gaḌhtā thā na maiñ ḳhanjar banātā thā
hidāyat-kār is duniyā ke nāTak meñ mujhe 'vālī'
kabhī hero banātā thā kabhī joker banātā thā
main jab chhoTa sa tha kaghaz pe ye manzar banata tha
khujuron ke daraKHton ke tale ek ghar banata tha
main aankhen band kar ke sochta rahta tha pahron tak
KHayalon mein bahut nazuk sa ek paikar banata tha
main aksar aasman ke chand tare toD lata tha
aur ek nannhi si guDiya ke liye zewar banata tha
uDa kar roz le jati thin maujen mere KHwabon ko
magar main bhi gharaunde roz sahil par banata tha
meri basti mein mere KHun ke pyase the sab lekin
na main talwar gaDhta tha na main KHanjar banata tha
hidayat-kar is duniya ke naTak mein mujhe 'wali'
kabhi hero banata tha kabhi joker banata tha
