gulab tha na kanwal phir badan wo kaisa tha
gulāb thā na kañval phir badan vo kaisā thā
ki jis kā lams bahāroñ meñ rañg bhartā thā
jahāñ pe sāda-dilī ke makīñ the kuchh paikar
vo jhoñpaḌā thā magar pur-shikoh kitnā thā
mashām-e-jāñ se guzartī rahī hai taaza havā
tirā ḳhayāl khule āsamān jaisā thā
usī ke haath meñ tamġhe haiñ kal jo maidāñ meñ
hamārī chhāñv meñ apnā bachāo kartā thā
ye sach hai rañg badaltā thā vo har ik lamha
magar vahī to bahut kāmyāb chehrā thā
har ik nadī se kaḌī pyaas le ke vo guzrā
ye aur baat ki vo ḳhud bhī ek dariyā thā
vo ek jast meñ nazroñ se duur thā 'amabar'
ḳhalā meñ sirf sunahrā ġhubār phailā thā
gulab tha na kanwal phir badan wo kaisa tha
ki jis ka lams bahaaron mein rang bharta tha
jahan pe sada-dili ke makin the kuchh paikar
wo jhonpaDa tha magar pur-shikoh kitna tha
masham-e-jaan se guzarti rahi hai taza hawa
tera KHayal khule aasaman jaisa tha
usi ke hath mein tamghe hain kal jo maidan mein
hamari chhanw mein apna bachao karta tha
ye sach hai rang badalta tha wo har ek lamha
magar wahi to bahut kaamyab chehra tha
har ek nadi se kaDi pyas le ke wo guzra
ye aur baat ki wo KHud bhi ek dariya tha
wo ek jast mein nazron se dur tha 'amabar'
KHala mein sirf sunahra ghubar phaila tha
