ham sabhī ākāsh meñ laTke hue

sochte haiñ ki zamīñ pe paañv hai

hum sabhi aakash mein laTke hue

sochte hain ki zamin pe panw hai

ham se hamāre ḳhvāb bhī jab duur ho ga.e

majbūr tab hue yuuñ ki mazdūr ho ga.e

hum se hamare KHwab bhi jab dur ho gae

majbur tab hue yun ki mazdur ho gae

mar ga.ī maañ to baT ga.e zevar

baT gayā ghar pitā ke marte hī

mar gai man to baT gae zewar

baT gaya ghar pita ke marte hi

vo zid kartī hai lekin phir achānak maan jaatī hai

mire chehre kī rangat se vo qīmat jaan jaatī hai

wo zid karti hai lekin phir achanak man jati hai

mere chehre ki rangat se wo qimat jaan jati hai

ye shaam Dhal rahī thī ki aa.ī ḳhabar burī

paanī ke intizār meñ ik jhiil mar ga.ī

ye sham Dhal rahi thi ki aai KHabar buri

pani ke intizar mein ek jhil mar gai
