hairan hun ki ab laun kahan se main zaban aur
hairāñ huuñ ki ab lā.ūñ kahāñ se maiñ zabāñ aur
lab kahte haiñ kuchh aur unheñ hotā hai gumāñ aur
jaa.eñ to kahāñ jaa.eñ mohabbat ke ḳharīdār
arbāb-e-siyāsat ne to kholī hai dukāñ aur
ma.alūm nahīñ hai mire sayyād ko shāyad
ghuTtī hai agar saañs to khultī hai zabāñ aur
ab vāda-e-fardā meñ kashish kuchh nahīñ baaqī
dohrā.ī huī baat guzartī hai girāñ aur
dekhegī jo ik pal meñ mirī aañkh se tujh ko
ho jā.egī duniyā tirī jānib nigarāñ aur
lag jaatī haiñ mohreñ sī laboñ par unheñ mil kar
hotā hai magar dil ke dhaḌakne kā samāñ aur
khultī haiñ nahīñ hashr ke din bhī mirī āñkheñ
shāyad ki muqaddar meñ hai ik ḳhvāb-e-girāñ aur
ham raakh hue us pe magar aañch na aa.ī
jalne kā samāñ aur jalāne kā samāñ aur
go arz-o-talab ek hasīñ shaġhl hai lekin
is khel meñ baḌh jaatā hai andesha-e-jāñ aur
me.arāj-e-takallum hai ḳhamoshī mirī 'bismil'
aatī hī nahīñ koī mujhe tarz-e-fuġhāñ aur
hairan hun ki ab laun kahan se main zaban aur
lab kahte hain kuchh aur unhen hota hai guman aur
jaen to kahan jaen mohabbat ke KHaridar
arbab-e-siyasat ne to kholi hai dukan aur
malum nahin hai mere sayyaad ko shayad
ghuTti hai agar sans to khulti hai zaban aur
ab wada-e-farda mein kashish kuchh nahin baqi
dohrai hui baat guzarti hai giran aur
dekhegi jo ek pal mein meri aankh se tujh ko
ho jaegi duniya teri jaanib nigaran aur
lag jati hain mohren si labon par unhen mil kar
hota hai magar dil ke dhaDakne ka saman aur
khulti hain nahin hashr ke din bhi meri aankhen
shayad ki muqaddar mein hai ek KHwab-e-giran aur
hum rakh hue us pe magar aanch na aai
jalne ka saman aur jalane ka saman aur
go arz-o-talab ek hasin shaghl hai lekin
is khel mein baDh jata hai andesha-e-jaan aur
mearaj-e-takallum hai KHamoshi meri 'bismil'
aati hi nahin koi mujhe tarz-e-fughan aur
