ek lafz aa gaya tha jo meri zaban par
ik lafz aa gayā thā jo merī zabān par
chhāyā rahā na jaane vo kis kis ke dhyān par
mujh ko talāsh karte ho auroñ ke darmiyāñ
hairān ho rahā huuñ tumhāre gumān par
mahfil meñ dostoñ kī vahī naġhma ban gayā
shab-ḳhūn kā jo shor thā mere makān par
be-shak zamīñ hanūz hai apne madār meñ
lekin dimāġh us kā to hai āsmān par
shāyad mirī talāsh meñ utrī hai charḳh se
jo dhuup paḌ rahī hai mire sā.ebān par
rahtā hai be-niyāz jo aab o sarāb se
khultā hai rāz-e-dasht usī sārbān par
ehsās us kā jāma-e-iz.hār māñge hai
uftād aa paḌī hai ye 'arshad' kī jaan par
ek lafz aa gaya tha jo meri zaban par
chhaya raha na jaane wo kis kis ke dhyan par
mujh ko talash karte ho auron ke darmiyan
hairan ho raha hun tumhaare guman par
mahfil mein doston ki wahi naghma ban gaya
shab-KHun ka jo shor tha mere makan par
be-shak zamin hanuz hai apne madar mein
lekin dimagh us ka to hai aasman par
shayad meri talash mein utri hai charKH se
jo dhup paD rahi hai mere saeban par
rahta hai be-niyaz jo aab o sarab se
khulta hai raaz-e-dasht usi sarban par
ehsas us ka jama-e-izhaar mange hai
uftad aa paDi hai ye 'arshad' ki jaan par
