dur tak chhae the baadal aur kahin saya na tha
duur tak chhā.e the bādal aur kahīñ saaya na thā
is tarah barsāt kā mausam kabhī aayā na thā
surḳh aahan par Tapaktī buuñd hai ab har ḳhushī
zindagī ne yuuñ to pahle ham ko tarsāyā na thā
kyā milā āḳhir tujhe sāyoñ ke pīchhe bhaag kar
ai dil-e-nādāñ tujhe kyā ham ne samjhāyā na thā
uf ye sannāTā ki aahaT tak na ho jis meñ muḳhil
zindagī meñ is qadar ham ne sukūñ paayā na thā
ḳhuub ro.e chhup ke ghar kī chār-dīvārī meñ ham
hāl-e-dil kahne ke qābil koī ham-sāya na thā
ho ga.e qallāsh jab se aas kī daulat luTī
paas apne aur to koī bhī sarmāya na thā
vo payambar ho ki āshiq qatl-gāh-e-shauq meñ
taaj kāñToñ kā kise duniyā ne pahnāyā na thā
ab khulā jhoñkoñ ke pīchhe chal rahī thiiñ āñdhiyāñ
ab jo manzar hai vo pahle to nazar aayā na thā
sirf ḳhushbū kī kamī thī ġhaur ke qābil 'qatīl'
varna gulshan meñ koī bhī phuul murjhāyā na thā
dur tak chhae the baadal aur kahin saya na tha
is tarah barsat ka mausam kabhi aaya na tha
surKH aahan par Tapakti bund hai ab har KHushi
zindagi ne yun to pahle hum ko tarsaya na tha
kya mila aaKHir tujhe sayon ke pichhe bhag kar
ai dil-e-nadan tujhe kya hum ne samjhaya na tha
uf ye sannaTa ki aahaT tak na ho jis mein muKHil
zindagi mein is qadar hum ne sukun paya na tha
KHub roe chhup ke ghar ki chaar-diwari mein hum
haal-e-dil kahne ke qabil koi ham-saya na tha
ho gae qallash jab se aas ki daulat luTi
pas apne aur to koi bhi sarmaya na tha
wo payambar ho ki aashiq qatl-gah-e-shauq mein
taj kanTon ka kise duniya ne pahnaya na tha
ab khula jhonkon ke pichhe chal rahi thin aandhiyan
ab jo manzar hai wo pahle to nazar aaya na tha
sirf KHushbu ki kami thi ghaur ke qabil 'qatil'
warna gulshan mein koi bhi phul murjhaya na tha
