naKHuda saKHt KHafa garche hamin par the bahut

nāḳhudā saḳht ḳhafā garche hamīñ par the bahut

ham ne bhī azm ke pahne hue zevar the bahut

tū ne dastak hī nahīñ dī kisī darvāze par

varna khulne ko to dīvār meñ bhī dar the bahut

uḌ nahīñ paayā agarche ye fazā bhī thī khulī

mere andar se mujhe jakḌe hue Dar the bahut

jiit terā hī muqaddar thī so tū jiit gayā

varna haare hue lashkar meñ sikandar the bahut

ḳhaam thī pyaas tirī varna to is dasht meñ bhī

ek eḌī ke ragaḌne pe samundar the bahut

chhin ga.ī aañkh se hairat ki tirī bastī meñ

har ghaḌī rañg badalte hue manzar the bahut

vaqt kī mauj hameñ paar lagātī kaise

ham ne hī jism se bāñdhe hue patthar the bahut

naKHuda saKHt KHafa garche hamin par the bahut

hum ne bhi azm ke pahne hue zewar the bahut

tu ne dastak hi nahin di kisi darwaze par

warna khulne ko to diwar mein bhi dar the bahut

uD nahin paya agarche ye faza bhi thi khuli

mere andar se mujhe jakDe hue Dar the bahut

jit tera hi muqaddar thi so tu jit gaya

warna haare hue lashkar mein sikandar the bahut

KHam thi pyas teri warna to is dasht mein bhi

ek eDi ke ragaDne pe samundar the bahut

chhin gai aankh se hairat ki teri basti mein

har ghaDi rang badalte hue manzar the bahut

waqt ki mauj hamein par lagati kaise

hum ne hi jism se bandhe hue patthar the bahut
