dekhe-bhāle raste the
phir bhī log bhaTakte the
dariyā sahrā aur sarāb
manzar saare phīke the
ik sanjog kā qissa thā
kitne bandhan TuuTe the
dil to us kā ujlā thā
lekin kapḌe maile the
nazreñ dhundlī dhundlī thiiñ
chehre nīle-pīle the
galiyāñ kūche sab jal-thal
TuuT ke bādal barse the
kitne chāñd-gahan meñ the
kitne taare TuuTe the
vaqt ke bahte dariyā meñ
kitne sūraj Duube the
saarā jism dahak uTThā
sho.ale to phir sho.ale the
