maine to khol rakkhi hai sari kitab-e-’umr
maiñ ne to khol rakkhī hai saarī kitāb-e-’umr
ai mohtasib-e-shahr tū apnā hisāb de
sābir huuñ sabr-e-zulm tashaddud kī daad de
ai shahr-e-yār mujh ko bhī koī ḳhitāb de
ik be-gunah ko daar pe laTkā ke kyā milā
munsif agar hai rab kī qasam to javāb de
mere ḳhilāf jurm kā gar shā.iba bhī ho
jis jagah jab bhī chāhe tū mujh ko 'azāb de
bātil kā jhuuT sach meñ badalne kā ḳhauf hai
ḳhaibar ke dar ko phir se koī bū-turāb de
’uryāniyat kī had se tajāvuz ke baa'd bhī
ai haq-parast kuchh to use bhī hijāb de
allāh kā ḳhauf pahle diloñ meñ rahe muqīm
aur us ke baa'd hubb-e-risālat ma.aab de
jab dil meñ koī zaḳhm ho nāsūr kī tarah
marham ke liye salle 'alā kā luaab de
'ālam' ḳhudā na karda kabhī hosh meñ aa.eñ
jab hosh meñ aa.eñ to phir un ko sharāb de
main ne to khol rakkhi hai sari kitab-e-’umr
ai mohtasib-e-shahr tu apna hisab de
sabir hun sabr-e-zulm tashaddud ki dad de
ai shahr-e-yar mujh ko bhi koi KHitab de
ek be-gunah ko dar pe laTka ke kya mila
munsif agar hai rab ki qasam to jawab de
mere KHilaf jurm ka gar shaiba bhi ho
jis jagah jab bhi chahe tu mujh ko 'azab de
baatil ka jhuT sach mein badalne ka KHauf hai
KHaibar ke dar ko phir se koi bu-turab de
’uryaniyat ki had se tajawuz ke ba'd bhi
ai haq-parast kuchh to use bhi hijab de
allah ka KHauf pahle dilon mein rahe muqim
aur us ke ba'd hubb-e-risalat maab de
jab dil mein koi zaKHm ho nasur ki tarah
marham ke liye salle 'ala ka luab de
'alam' KHuda na karda kabhi hosh mein aaen
jab hosh mein aaen to phir un ko sharab de
