fasle aise bhi honge ye kabhi socha na tha
fāsle aise bhī hoñge ye kabhī sochā na thā
sāmne baiThā thā mere aur vo merā na thā
vo ki ḳhushbū kī tarah phailā thā mere chār-sū
maiñ use mahsūs kar saktā thā chhū saktā na thā
raat bhar pichhlī sī aahaT kaan meñ aatī rahī
jhāñk kar dekhā galī meñ koī bhī aayā na thā
maiñ tirī sūrat liye saare zamāne meñ phirā
saarī duniyā meñ magar koī tire jaisā na thā
aaj milne kī ḳhushī meñ sirf maiñ jaagā nahīñ
terī āñkhoñ se bhī lagtā hai ki tū soyā na thā
ye sabhī vīrāniyāñ us ke judā hone se thiiñ
aañkh dhuñdlā.ī huī thī shahr dhuñdlāyā na thā
saiñkaḌoñ tūfān lafzoñ meñ dabe the zer-e-lab
ek patthar thā ḳhamoshī kā ki jo haTtā na thā
yaad kar ke aur bhī taklīf hotī thī 'adīm'
bhuul jaane ke sivā ab koī bhī chārā na thā
maslahat ne ajnabī ham ko banāyā thā 'adīm'
varna kab ik dūsre ko ham ne pahchānā na thā
fasle aise bhi honge ye kabhi socha na tha
samne baiTha tha mere aur wo mera na tha
wo ki KHushbu ki tarah phaila tha mere chaar-su
main use mahsus kar sakta tha chhu sakta na tha
raat bhar pichhli si aahaT kan mein aati rahi
jhank kar dekha gali mein koi bhi aaya na tha
main teri surat liye sare zamane mein phira
sari duniya mein magar koi tere jaisa na tha
aaj milne ki KHushi mein sirf main jaga nahin
teri aankhon se bhi lagta hai ki tu soya na tha
ye sabhi viraniyan us ke juda hone se thin
aankh dhundlai hui thi shahr dhundlaya na tha
sainkaDon tufan lafzon mein dabe the zer-e-lab
ek patthar tha KHamoshi ka ki jo haTta na tha
yaad kar ke aur bhi taklif hoti thi 'adim'
bhul jaane ke siwa ab koi bhi chaara na tha
maslahat ne ajnabi hum ko banaya tha 'adim'
warna kab ek dusre ko hum ne pahchana na tha
