main tumhaare liye Thahrunga

maiñ tumhāre liye Thahrūñgā ki shāyad aao

aur jab donoñ pahar milte hoñ

ham bhī aapas meñ mileñ

jaise ik roz milā karte the

din ke hañgāme bujhe jaate haiñ

sard hone lagī Dhaltī huī shaam

kashtiyāñ aa ke kināre se lagīñ

jhiil leTī huī mahv-e-ārām

peḌ din bhar kī thakan se bojhal

qurb sarmā kī havā sust-ḳhirām

dil mirā bār-hā aayā hai yahāñ

chal ke us raste se jo uun ke gole kī tarah

mere qadmoñ meñ khulā jaatā thā

phir muḳhil hote hue pattoñ kī sargoshī meñ

ek āvāz ne rah rah ke bulāyā thā mujhe

vaqt kā haath Tahoke se diye jaatā hai

yuuñ hī chalte raho pīchhe kī taraf mat dekho

raat aa jā.egī so jāoge

aur jo guuñj uThā kartī hai

duur vīrānoñ meñ kho jā.egī

main tumhaare liye Thahrunga ki shayad aao

aur jab donon pahar milte hon

hum bhi aapas mein milen

jaise ek roz mila karte the

din ke hangame bujhe jate hain

sard hone lagi Dhalti hui sham

kashtiyan aa ke kinare se lagin

jhil leTi hui mahw-e-aram

peD din bhar ki thakan se bojhal

qurb sarma ki hawa sust-KHiram

dil mera bar-ha aaya hai yahan

chal ke us raste se jo un ke gole ki tarah

mere qadmon mein khula jata tha

phir muKHil hote hue patton ki sargoshi mein

ek aawaz ne rah rah ke bulaya tha mujhe

waqt ka hath Tahoke se diye jata hai

yun hi chalte raho pichhe ki taraf mat dekho

raat aa jaegi so jaoge

aur jo gunj uTha karti hai

dur viranon mein kho jaegi
