kabhi sham-e-hijr guzarte kabhi zulf-e-yar sanwarte
kabhī shām-e-hijr guzārte kabhī zulf-e-yār sañvārte
kaTī umr apnī qafas qafas tirī ḳhushbuoñ ko pukārte
na vo mah-jabīnoñ kī Toliyāñ na vo rañg rañg kī boliyāñ
na mohabbatoñ kī vo bāziyāñ kabhī jīt.te kabhī hārte
vo jo ārzūoñ ke ḳhvāb the vo ḳhayāl the vo sarāb the
sar-e-dasht ek bhī gul na thā jise āñsuoñ se sañvārte
thā jo ek lamha visāl kā vo riyāz thā ka.ī saal kā
vahī ek pal meñ guzar gayā jise umr guzrī pukārte
the jo jaan se bhī azīz-tar rahe umr bhar vahī be-ḳhabar
thī ye aarzū mire chārā-gar mirī naav paar utārte
nahīñ lab pe koī savāl thā mirā dil tamām malāl thā
maiñ ḳhamosh dar pe khaḌā rahā rahe vo bhī gesū sañvārte
kabhi sham-e-hijr guzarte kabhi zulf-e-yar sanwarte
kaTi umr apni qafas qafas teri KHushbuon ko pukarte
na wo mah-jabinon ki Toliyan na wo rang rang ki boliyan
na mohabbaton ki wo baziyan kabhi jitte kabhi haarte
wo jo aarzuon ke KHwab the wo KHayal the wo sarab the
sar-e-dasht ek bhi gul na tha jise aansuon se sanwarte
tha jo ek lamha visal ka wo riyaz tha kai sal ka
wahi ek pal mein guzar gaya jise umr guzri pukarte
the jo jaan se bhi aziz-tar rahe umr bhar wahi be-KHabar
thi ye aarzu mere chaara-gar meri naw par utarte
nahin lab pe koi sawal tha mera dil tamam malal tha
main KHamosh dar pe khaDa raha rahe wo bhi gesu sanwarte
