naqab chehre se uske kabhi sarakta tha

naqāb chehre se us ke kabhī saraktā thā

to kaale bādaloñ meñ chāñd sā chamaktā thā

use bhī ḳhitta-e-sarsabz mil gayā shāyad

vo ek abr kā TukḌā jo kal bhaTaktā thā

vo mere saath jo chaltā thā ghar ke āñgan meñ

to māhtāb bhī palkeñ bahut jhapaktā thā

ye kah ke barq bhī barsāt meñ bahut roī

ki ek peḌ chaman meñ ġhazab mahaktā thā

ġham-e-hayāt ne baḳhshe haiñ saare sannāTe

kabhī hamāre bhī pahlū meñ dil dhaḌaktā thā

jo ho ga.ī hai kabhī abr kī navāzish bhī

to sā.ebān ka.ī din talak Tapaktā thā

akele paar utar ke bahut hai ranj mujhe

maiñ us kā bojh uThā kar bhī tair saktā thā

naqab chehre se us ke kabhi sarakta tha

to kale baadalon mein chand sa chamakta tha

use bhi KHitta-e-sarsabz mil gaya shayad

wo ek abr ka TukDa jo kal bhaTakta tha

wo mere sath jo chalta tha ghar ke aangan mein

to mahtab bhi palken bahut jhapakta tha

ye kah ke barq bhi barsat mein bahut roi

ki ek peD chaman mein ghazab mahakta tha

gham-e-hayat ne baKHshe hain sare sannaTe

kabhi hamare bhi pahlu mein dil dhaDakta tha

jo ho gai hai kabhi abr ki nawazish bhi

to saeban kai din talak Tapakta tha

akele par utar ke bahut hai ranj mujhe

main us ka bojh uTha kar bhi tair sakta tha
