Haadse Ke Baad Kee Deepawali

raushanee se nahaae is shahar men
khushiyon kee laḌiyaa(n) jagamagaatee hain
cheer kar gamon ke a(n)dhere ko
jindagee aaj phir se muskaraatee hai.
dhamaakaa phir goonjataa hai
par bamon aur bandookon kaa naheen
paTaakhon ke saath saath
goonjatee hai kilakaariyaa(n) bhee.
sahame se murjhaae hoThon par
muskaanon kee laḌiyaa(n) jagamagaatee hain
jindagee aaj phir muskaraatee hai.
aaj phir se nikal paḌe hain log
dilon men daphn kar a(n)dhere ko
haathon men aaj phir se diyaasalaaee hai
hai baatiyaa(n) bhee bheengee huee tel m़e
deeye maaTee ke hon yaa chaa(n)dee ke
lau raushanee kee jhilamilaatee hai,
jindagee aaj phir se muskaraatee hai.
ek deep se jalate hain hajaaron deep
ek phool se mahakatee bagiyaa saaree.
hausalon ke chappuon ko thaam
naav jeevan kee tiratee jaatee hai
ubar kar haadason ke saaye se "geet"
lau ummeedon kee jhilamilaatee hai
jindagee aaj phir muskaraatee hai.
