Dekhe-Bhaale Raste The

Poet

dekhe-bhale raste the

phir bhi log bhaTakte the

dariya sahra aur sarab

manzar saare phike the

ik sanjog ka qissa tha

kitne bandhan TuuTe the

dil to us ka ujla tha

lekin kapḌe maile the

nazren dhundli dhundli thiin

chehre nile-pile the

galiyan kuche sab jal-thal

TuuT ke badal barse the

kitne chand-gahan men the

kitne taare TuuTe the

vaqt ke bahte dariya men

kitne suraj Duube the

saara jism dahak uTTha

sho.ale to phir sho.ale the
