faqiri mein

faqīrī meñ bhī ḳhush-vaqtī ke

kuchh sāmān farāham the

ḳhayāloñ ke bagūle

muztarib jazboñ ke hañgāme,

talātum bahr-e-hastī meñ

tamavvuj-e-rūh ke ban meñ,

ajab uftāñ-o-ḳhaizāñ marhale pahnā.ī shab ke,

taḌap ġham-hā-e-hijrāñ kī

laraztī aarzū dīdār-e-jānāñ kī

adam-ābād ke sahrā meñ ek zarra

ki misl-e-qatra-e-sīmāb larzīda

sadaf meñ zehn ke juuñ

ġhauhar-e-kamyāb poshīda

dil-e-sad-pāra

jū-e-ġham

laraztī kashtī-e-ehsās

jahāñ-bīnī kā dil meñ azm-e-duzdīda

faqīrī meñ yahī asbāb-e-hastī thā yahī dard-e-tah-e-jām-e-tamannā thā

yahī sāmāñ bachā lete to achchhā thā

faqīrī meñ magar ye kaun sī uftād aa.ī hai

ki sāmāñ luT gayā rāhoñ meñ kaasa dil kā ḳhālī hai

faqiri mein bhi KHush-waqti ke

kuchh saman faraham the

KHayalon ke bagule

muztarib jazbon ke hangame,

talatum bahr-e-hasti mein

tamawwuj-e-ruh ke ban mein,

ajab uftan-o-KHaizan marhale pahnai shab ke,

taDap gham-ha-e-hijran ki

larazti aarzu didar-e-jaanan ki

adam-abaad ke sahra mein ek zarra

ki misl-e-qatra-e-simab larzida

sadaf mein zehn ke jun

ghauhar-e-kamyab poshida

dil-e-sad-para

ju-e-gham

larazti kashti-e-ehsas

jahan-bini ka dil mein azm-e-duzdida

faqiri mein yahi asbab-e-hasti tha yahi dard-e-tah-e-jam-e-tamanna tha

yahi saman bacha lete to achchha tha

faqiri mein magar ye kaun si uftad aai hai

ki saman luT gaya rahon mein kasa dil ka KHali hai
