tirgi ke siyah-ghaaron se
shahparon ki sadaen aati hain

le ke jhonkon ki tez talwaren
thandi thandi hawaen aati hain

barf ne jin pe dhaar rakkhi hai
ek maili dukan tera o tar

ek charagh aur ek doshiza
ye bujhi si hai wo udas sa hai

donon jadon ki lambi raaton mein
tirgi aur hawa se ladte hain

tirgi uth rahi hai maidan se
fauj-dar-fauj baadalon ki tarah

aur hawaon ke hath hain gustakh
tode lete hain nanhe shole ko

noche lete hain maile aanchal ko
ladki rah rah ke jism dhanpti hai

shola rah rah ke thar tharaata hai
nangi budhi zamin kanpti hai

tirgi ab siyah-samundar hai
aur hawa ho gai hai diwani

ya to donon charagh gul honge
ya karenge wo shola-afshani

phunk dalenge tirgi ki mata
par mujhe e'timad hai in par

go gharib aur be-zaban se hain
donon hain aag donon hain shola

donon bijli ke khandan se hain
