likhi hui jo tabahi hai us se kya jata
likhī huī jo tabāhī hai us se kyā jaatā
havā ke ruḳh pe magar kuchh to nāḳhudā jaatā
jo baat dil meñ thī us se nahīñ kahī ham ne
vafā ke naam se vo bhī fareb khā jaatā
kashīd-e-mai pe hai kaisā fasād hākim-e-shahr
tirī girah se hai kyā banda-e-ḳhudā jaatā
ḳhudā kā shukr hai tū ne bhī maan lī mirī baat
rafū purāne dukhoñ par nahīñ kiyā jaatā
misāl-e-barq jo ḳhvāb-e-junūñ meñ chamkī thī
us āgahī ke ta.āqub meñ huuñ chalā jaatā
libās-e-tāza ke ḳhvāhāñ hue haiñ zarra o sañg
ik aa.ina hai koī duur se dikhā jaatā
ajab tamāsha-e-sahrā hai chāk-e-mahmil par
ġhubār-e-qais hai parda koī girā jaatā
jo aag bujh na sakegī usī ke dāman meñ
har ek shahr hai ījād kā basā jaatā
likhi hui jo tabahi hai us se kya jata
hawa ke ruKH pe magar kuchh to naKHuda jata
jo baat dil mein thi us se nahin kahi hum ne
wafa ke nam se wo bhi fareb kha jata
kashid-e-mai pe hai kaisa fasad hakim-e-shahr
teri girah se hai kya banda-e-KHuda jata
KHuda ka shukr hai tu ne bhi man li meri baat
rafu purane dukhon par nahin kiya jata
misal-e-barq jo KHwab-e-junun mein chamki thi
us aagahi ke taaqub mein hun chala jata
libas-e-taza ke KHwahan hue hain zarra o sang
ek aaina hai koi dur se dikha jata
ajab tamasha-e-sahra hai chaak-e-mahmil par
ghubar-e-qais hai parda koi gira jata
jo aag bujh na sakegi usi ke daman mein
har ek shahr hai ijad ka basa jata
