aa ke patthar to mere sahn mein do chaar gire
aa ke patthar to mire sahn meñ do chaar gire
jitne us peḌ ke phal the pas-e-dīvār gire
aisī dahshat thī fazāoñ meñ khule paanī kī
aañkh jhapkī bhī nahīñ haath se patvār gire
mujhe girnā hai to maiñ apne hī qadmoñ meñ girūñ
jis tarah sāya-e-dīvār pe dīvār gire
tīrgī chhoḌ ga.e dil meñ ujāle ke ḳhutūt
ye sitāre mire ghar TuuT ke bekār gire
kyā havā haath meñ talvār liye phirtī thī
kyuuñ mujhe Dhaal banāne ko ye chhitnār gire
dekh kar apne dar-o-bām laraz jaatā huuñ
mire ham-sā.e meñ jab bhī koī dīvār gire
vaqt kī Dor ḳhudā jaane kahāñ se TuuTe
kis ghaḌī sar pe ye laTkī huī talvār gire
ham se Takrā ga.ī ḳhud baḌh ke añdhere kī chaTān
ham sambhal kar jo bahut chalte the nā-chār gire
kyā kahūñ dīda-e-tar ye to mirā chehra hai
sañg kaT jaate haiñ bārish kī jahāñ dhaar gire
haath aayā nahīñ kuchh raat kī daldal ke sivā
haa.e kis moḌ pe ḳhvāboñ ke parastār gire
vo tajallī kī shuā.eñ thiiñ ki jalte hue par
aa.ine TuuT ga.e ā.ina-bardār gire
dekhte kyuuñ ho 'shakeb' itnī bulandī kī taraf
na uThāyā karo sar ko ki ye dastār gire
aa ke patthar to mere sahn mein do chaar gire
jitne us peD ke phal the pas-e-diwar gire
aisi dahshat thi fazaon mein khule pani ki
aankh jhapki bhi nahin hath se patwar gire
mujhe girna hai to main apne hi qadmon mein girun
jis tarah saya-e-diwar pe diwar gire
tirgi chhoD gae dil mein ujale ke KHutut
ye sitare mere ghar TuT ke bekar gire
kya hawa hath mein talwar liye phirti thi
kyun mujhe Dhaal banane ko ye chhitnar gire
dekh kar apne dar-o-baam laraz jata hun
mere ham-sae mein jab bhi koi diwar gire
waqt ki Dor KHuda jaane kahan se TuTe
kis ghaDi sar pe ye laTki hui talwar gire
hum se Takra gai KHud baDh ke andhere ki chaTan
hum sambhal kar jo bahut chalte the na-chaar gire
kya kahun dida-e-tar ye to mera chehra hai
sang kaT jate hain barish ki jahan dhaar gire
hath aaya nahin kuchh raat ki daldal ke siwa
hae kis moD pe KHwabon ke parastar gire
wo tajalli ki shuaen thin ki jalte hue par
aaine TuT gae aaina-bardar gire
dekhte kyun ho 'shakeb' itni bulandi ki taraf
na uThaya karo sar ko ki ye dastar gire
