jalwaa baqadr\-e\-zarf\-e\-nazar dekhate rahe
kyaa dekhate ham unako magar dekhate rahe

% [ba-qadr-e-zarf-e = to the extent of the ability of ...]

laakh aaftaab paas se hokar guzar gaye
ham baiThe i.ntazaar\-e\-sahar dekhate rahe

hai.n daur\-e\-bedilii kii wo majabuuriyaa.N bhii yaad
aa.Nkhe.n thii.n sogawaar magar dekhate rahe

aisii bhii kuchh firaaq kii raate.n guzar ga_ii.n
jaise unhii.n ko pesh\-e\-nazar dekhate rahe
