kahani likhte hue dastan sunate hue
kahānī likhte hue dāstāñ sunāte hue
vo so gayā hai mujhe ḳhvāb se jagāte hue
diye kī lau se chhalaktā hai us ke husn kā aks
siñgār karte hue ā.īna sajāte hue
ab is jagah se ka.ī rāste nikalte haiñ
maiñ gum huā thā jahāñ rāsta batāte hue
pukārte haiñ unheñ sāhiloñ ke sannāTe
jo log Duub ga.e kashtiyāñ banāte hue
phir us ne mujh se kisī baat ko chhupāyā nahīñ
vo khul gayā thā kisī baat ko chhupāte hue
mujhī meñ thā vo sitāra-sifat ki jis ke liye
maiñ thak gayā huuñ zamāne kī ḳhaak uḌāte hue
mazāroñ aur muñDeroñ ke rat-jagoñ meñ 'salīm'
badan pighalne lage haiñ diye jalāte hue
kahani likhte hue dastan sunate hue
wo so gaya hai mujhe KHwab se jagate hue
diye ki lau se chhalakta hai us ke husn ka aks
singar karte hue aaina sajate hue
ab is jagah se kai raste nikalte hain
main gum hua tha jahan rasta batate hue
pukarte hain unhen sahilon ke sannaTe
jo log Dub gae kashtiyan banate hue
phir us ne mujh se kisi baat ko chhupaya nahin
wo khul gaya tha kisi baat ko chhupate hue
mujhi mein tha wo sitara-sifat ki jis ke liye
main thak gaya hun zamane ki KHak uDate hue
mazaron aur munDeron ke rat-jagon mein 'salim'
badan pighalne lage hain diye jalate hue
