thakan to agle safar ke liye bahana tha
thakan to agle safar ke liye bahāna thā
use to yuuñ bhī kisī aur samt jaanā thā
vahī charāġh bujhā jis kī lau qayāmat thī
usī pe zarb paḌī jo shajar purānā thā
matā-e-jāñ kā badal ek pal kī sarshārī
sulūk ḳhvāb kā āñkhoñ se tājirāna thā
havā kī kaaT shagūfoñ ne jazb kar lī thī
tabhī to lahja-e-ḳhushbū bhī jārihāna thā
vahī firāq kī bāteñ vahī hikāyat-e-vasl
na.ī kitāb kā ek ik varaq purānā thā
qabā-e-zard nigār-e-ḳhizāñ pe sajtī thī
tabhī to chaal kā andāz ḳhusravāna thā
thakan to agle safar ke liye bahana tha
use to yun bhi kisi aur samt jaana tha
wahi charagh bujha jis ki lau qayamat thi
usi pe zarb paDi jo shajar purana tha
mata-e-jaan ka badal ek pal ki sarshaari
suluk KHwab ka aankhon se tajirana tha
hawa ki kaT shagufon ne jazb kar li thi
tabhi to lahja-e-KHushbu bhi jarihana tha
wahi firaq ki baaten wahi hikayat-e-wasl
nai kitab ka ek ek waraq purana tha
qaba-e-zard nigar-e-KHizan pe sajti thi
tabhi to chaal ka andaz KHusrawana tha
