sar se chaadar badan se qabaa le ga_ii 
zi.ndagii ham faqiiro.n se kyaa le ga_ii 

merii muTThii me.n suukhe huye phuul hai.n 
Khushbuuo.n ko u.Daakar havaa le ga_ii 

mai.n samu.ndar ke siine me.n chaTTaan thaa 
raat ek mauj aa_ii bahaa le ga_ii 

ham jo kaaGaz the ashko.n se bhiige huye 
kyo.n chiraaGo.n kii lau tak havaa le ga_ii 

chaa.Nd ne raat mujhako jagaa kar kahaa
ek la.Dakii tumhaaraa pataa le ga_ii

merii shoharat siyaasat se mahafuus hai 
ye tavaayaf bhii ismat bachaa le ga_ii
