ab is sada kahani ko naya ek moD dena tha
ab is saada kahānī ko nayā ik moḌ denā thā
zarā sī baat par ahd-e-vafā hī toḌ denā thā
mahaktā thā badan har vaqt jis ke lams-e-ḳhush-bū se
vahī gul-dasta dahlīz-e-ḳhizāñ par chhoḌ denā thā
shikast-e-sāz-e-dil kā umr bhar mātam bhī kyā karte
ki ik din hañste hañste sāz-e-jāñ hī toḌ denā thā
safar meñ har qadam rah rah ke ye taklīf hī dete
bahar-sūrat hameñ in ābloñ ko phoḌ denā thā
ġhalat-fahmī ke jhoñkoñ se bikhar kar rah ga.e āḳhir
lahū kī aañch meñ TuuTe diloñ ko joḌ denā thā
vo jis pe zikr hai qaul-o-qasam aur ahd-o-paimāñ kā
kitāb-e-zindagī ke is varaq ko moḌ denā thā
banāyā hī nahīñ ham ne kabhī ye soch kar 'anjum'
ki gautam kī tarah ik din hameñ ghar chhoḌ denā thā
ab is sada kahani ko naya ek moD dena tha
zara si baat par ahd-e-wafa hi toD dena tha
mahakta tha badan har waqt jis ke lams-e-KHush-bu se
wahi gul-dasta dahliz-e-KHizan par chhoD dena tha
shikast-e-saz-e-dil ka umr bhar matam bhi kya karte
ki ek din hanste hanste saz-e-jaan hi toD dena tha
safar mein har qadam rah rah ke ye taklif hi dete
bahar-surat hamein in aablon ko phoD dena tha
ghalat-fahmi ke jhonkon se bikhar kar rah gae aaKHir
lahu ki aanch mein TuTe dilon ko joD dena tha
wo jis pe zikr hai qaul-o-qasam aur ahd-o-paiman ka
kitab-e-zindagi ke is waraq ko moD dena tha
banaya hi nahin hum ne kabhi ye soch kar 'anjum'
ki gautam ki tarah ek din hamein ghar chhoD dena tha
