The poem
Read it in Urdu script-
Aik hum thay sir phiray jo jal bujhe logon mein thay Warna jis ko dekhte miyaar ke logon mein thay
-
Kon zalim hukmran ki baat ka deta jawab Log jitne thay wahan sab sir katay logon mein thay
-
Kon si basti hai yeh, hum kis nagar mein aa gaye? Kal talak rangon mein thay hum phool se logon mein thay
-
Door rehtay thay magar woh phir bhi thay kitna qareeb Kitna acha daur tha jab faaslay logon mein thay
-
Uss ne bastii chore di yeh faisla acha liya Aisay ujley log hum se miljgy logon mein thay
-
Hum ne cheda tha tarannum mein koi meetha sa geet Haan magar yeh tha ke hum kuch be suray logon mein thay
-
Neend aankhon se chura kar le gaya tha aik shakhs Aik muddat se musalsal rat-jage logon mein thay
-
Jal rahi thi saari basti aur sab pooja mein thay Khud pasandi ke kuch aisay silsilay logon mein thay
-
Qoum ki barbadiyon ka ik sabab yeh bhi rasheed Zaat ki takmeel ke hi marhalay logon mein thay
