duniya soche shauq se soche aaj aur kal ke bare mein
duniyā soche shauq se soche aaj aur kal ke baare meñ
maiñ kyuuñ apnā chain gañvā.ūñ us pāgal ke baare meñ
sañg-e-marmar kī qabroñ meñ mahv-e-ḳhvāb the ham donoñ
kal shab dekhā ḳhvāb ajab sā tāj-mahal ke baare meñ
āḳhir us kī sūkhī lakḌī ek chitā ke kaam aa.ī
hare-bhare qisse sunte the jis pīpal ke baare meñ
mere shītal man kī jvālā ko to aur bhī bhaḌkāyā
log na jaane kyā kahte haiñ gañgā-jal ke baare meñ
aañsū ban kar TuuT gayā thā jo sapnoñ kī palkoñ se
saat yugoñ se soch rahā huuñ maiñ us pal ke baare meñ
chūmo ghūñghaT khol ke chūmo us dulhan ke hoñToñ ko
ye apnā dastūr hai mai kī har botal ke baare meñ
vo jo kuTiyā Daal rahā hai vīrāne meñ shahr se duur
saarā shahr pareshāñ kyuuñ hai us pāgal ke baare meñ
'prem' bharī mahfil meñ koī daad nahīñ fariyād nahīñ!
chup sī hai vo jān-e-ġhazal bhī merī ġhazal ke baare meñ
duniya soche shauq se soche aaj aur kal ke bare mein
main kyun apna chain ganwaun us pagal ke bare mein
sang-e-marmar ki qabron mein mahw-e-KHwab the hum donon
kal shab dekha KHwab ajab sa taj-mahal ke bare mein
aaKHir us ki sukhi lakDi ek chita ke kaam aai
hare-bhare qisse sunte the jis pipal ke bare mein
mere shital man ki jwala ko to aur bhi bhaDkaya
log na jaane kya kahte hain ganga-jal ke bare mein
aansu ban kar TuT gaya tha jo sapnon ki palkon se
sat yugon se soch raha hun main us pal ke bare mein
chumo ghunghaT khol ke chumo us dulhan ke honTon ko
ye apna dastur hai mai ki har botal ke bare mein
wo jo kuTiya Dal raha hai virane mein shahr se dur
sara shahr pareshan kyun hai us pagal ke bare mein
'prem' bhari mahfil mein koi dad nahin fariyaad nahin!
chup si hai wo jaan-e-ghazal bhi meri ghazal ke bare mein
