dahshat-gard shaer

ek ḳhush-gavār din

jab log apne daftar aur bachche

schōl vaqt par pahuñch jaate haiñ

dahshat-gard shā.er apne ḳhvāboñ kī bandūq le kar

havā.ī-firing shurūa kar dete haiñ

koī halāk nahīñ hotā koī zaḳhmī nahīñ hotā

kisī ko Dar nahīñ lagtā

kisī daraḳht se ek pattā tak nahīñ girtā

kisī khiḌkī kā shīsha bhī nahīñ TūTtā

shā.er apnā kaam jaarī rakhte haiñ magar

shaam hone tak kisī dīvār meñ ek surāḳh tak nahīñ kar paate

kisī darvāze par nishān bhī nahīñ Daal paate

log hasb-e-ma.amūl gharoñ ko vāpas aate haiñ

bachche rāstoñ meñ cricket khelte haiñ lekin kisī ko

ḳhvāboñ ke ḳhālī kartōs nahīñ milte

dahshat-gard shā.er kahīñ nazar nahīñ aate

jab raat hotī hai to achānak añdhere meñ kabhī

raushnī kī lakīreñ āsmān kī taraf jaatī nazar aatī haiñ

isī ma.amūlī chamak meñ sitāre apnā rāsta banāte haiñ

isī rāste par

dahshat-gard shā.er apnī bandūq liye zindagī bhar parade karte rahte haiñ

ek KHush-gawar din

jab log apne daftar aur bachche

school waqt par pahunch jate hain

dahshat-gard shaer apne KHwabon ki banduq le kar

hawai-firing shurua kar dete hain

koi halak nahin hota koi zaKHmi nahin hota

kisi ko Dar nahin lagta

kisi daraKHt se ek patta tak nahin girta

kisi khiDki ka shisha bhi nahin TuTta

shaer apna kaam jari rakhte hain magar

sham hone tak kisi diwar mein ek suraKH tak nahin kar pate

kisi darwaze par nishan bhi nahin Dal pate

log hasb-e-mamul gharon ko wapas aate hain

bachche raston mein cricket khelte hain lekin kisi ko

KHwabon ke KHali kartoos nahin milte

dahshat-gard shaer kahin nazar nahin aate

jab raat hoti hai to achanak andhere mein kabhi

raushni ki lakiren aasman ki taraf jati nazar aati hain

isi mamuli chamak mein sitare apna rasta banate hain

isi raste par

dahshat-gard shaer apni banduq liye zindagi bhar parade karte rahte hain
