Hisar-E-Hosh Mein KHwabon Ke Dar Rakkhe Gae Hain

hisar-e-hosh men ḳhvabon ke dar rakkhe ga.e hain

koi rasta nahin hai aur safar rakkhe ga.e hain

guhar aata hai aghosh-e-sadaf men buund ban kar

zamin-o-asman men nama-bar rakkhe ga.e hain

basanti dhuup angan men simaT kar so rahi hai

hava ke dosh par peḌon ke sar rakkhe ga.e hain

azal se bhagta huun apne hi saa.e ke pichhe

ta.aqub men mire sham-o-sahar rakkhe ga.e hain

ye kaisa khel hai dushvar jiine ke jatan hain

magar marne ke gur asan-tar rakkhe ga.e hain

ada honge hamari be-baha la-hasili men

vo saare qarz jo is jaan par rakkhe ga.e hain

chaḌha hai din nikal aa.e hain bazaron men saa.e

magar jo jism the saare vo ghar rakkhe ga.e hain

chuna hai reza reza ham ne apni ḳhvahishon ko

ye TuuTe aa.ine the joḌ kar rakkhe ga.e hain

likhega kaun yarab lazzat-e-be-iḳhtiyar apni

saron par katbin-e-ḳhair-o-shar rakkhe ga.e hain

hai ta.aviz suḳhan ka mo.ajiza ‘sarmad’ ki ham par

tilism-e-jah-o-mansab be-asar rakkhe ga.e hain
