jalwa-gar sochon mein hain kuchh aagahi ke aaftab
jalva-gar sochoñ meñ haiñ kuchh āgahī ke āftāb
raushnī se likh rahā huuñ zindagānī kā nisāb
pattharoñ se kab talak bāñdhegī ummīd-e-vafā
zindagī dekhegī kab tak jāgtī āñkhoñ se ḳhvāb
kyā ḳhabar vo kaun haiñ roz-e-jazā ke muntazir
chashm-e-bīnā ke liye har roz hai roz-e-hisāb
ḳhaak zinda gar kare husn-e-azal kī aarzū
darmiyāñ rahtā nahīñ phir koī bhī tār-e-hijāb
jānte haiñ vo husūl-e-māya kī har ik sabīl
hifz haiñ sajjādgāñ ko ḳhānqāhī ke nisāb
inqalāb-e-sub.h kī kuchh kam nahīñ ye bhī dalīl
pattharoñ ko de rahe haiñ aa.ine khul kar javāb
jalwa-gar sochon mein hain kuchh aagahi ke aaftab
raushni se likh raha hun zindagani ka nisab
pattharon se kab talak bandhegi ummid-e-wafa
zindagi dekhegi kab tak jagti aankhon se KHwab
kya KHabar wo kaun hain roz-e-jaza ke muntazir
chashm-e-bina ke liye har roz hai roz-e-hisab
KHak zinda gar kare husn-e-azal ki aarzu
darmiyan rahta nahin phir koi bhi tar-e-hijab
jaante hain wo husul-e-maya ki har ek sabil
hifz hain sajjadgan ko KHanqahi ke nisab
inqalab-e-subh ki kuchh kam nahin ye bhi dalil
pattharon ko de rahe hain aaine khul kar jawab
