Rahe Dariya-E-suKHan Yunhi Rawan Mere Baad

Zia Faruqi

rahe dariya-e-suḳhan yunhi ravan mere ba.ad

banjh ho jaa.e na ghalib ki zaban mere ba.ad

kaun dega unhen ḳhushbu ka jahan mere ba.ad

kis se lipTenge ye nazuk-badnan mere ba.ad

ku-ba-ku phirti hai ab charon-taraf avara

bu-e-gul ko na mili ja-e-aman mere ba.ad

laakh main nang-e-suḳhan huun pa yaqin hai mujh ko

log DhunDenge mira tarz-e-bayan mere ba.ad

chhoḌ kar ja.unga main ghar men ujale ka subut

kaam aa.ega ye taqon ka dhuan mere ba.ad

yaar sab chal diye bazar-e-havas ki janib

ho ga.i rah-e-junun kam-guzaran mere ba.ad

main ki ḳhatam bhi huun ḳhud apni tabi.at ka ‘ziya’

qat hua silsila-e-ah-o-fughan mere ba.ad
