aab mein zaiqa-e-shir nahin ho sakta
aab meñ zā.iqa-e-shīr nahīñ ho saktā
ḳhvāb to ḳhvāb hai ta.abīr nahīñ ho saktā
mujh ko pāband-e-salāsil koī jitnā kar le
par mirā azm to zanjīr nahīñ ho saktā
har taraf ġhul hai shahanshāh kī marzī ke baġhair
ab koī lafz bhī tahrīr nahīñ ho saktā
rizq jaisā hai muqaddar meñ likhā hotā hai
fan kisī shaḳhs kī jāgīr nahīñ ho saktā
ham ne darvāza-e-mizhgāñ pe sajā rakkhā hai
vo sitārā ki jo tasḳhīr nahīñ ho saktā
aab mein zaiqa-e-shir nahin ho sakta
KHwab to KHwab hai tabir nahin ho sakta
mujh ko paband-e-salasil koi jitna kar le
par mera azm to zanjir nahin ho sakta
har taraf ghul hai shahanshah ki marzi ke baghair
ab koi lafz bhi tahrir nahin ho sakta
rizq jaisa hai muqaddar mein likha hota hai
fan kisi shaKHs ki jagir nahin ho sakta
hum ne darwaza-e-mizhgan pe saja rakkha hai
wo sitara ki jo tasKHir nahin ho sakta
