raaz-e-darun-e-astin kashmakash-e-bayan mein tha
rāz-e-darūn-e-āstīñ kashmakash-e-bayāñ meñ thā
aag abhī nafas meñ thī sho.ala abhī zabāñ meñ thā
vo jo kahīñ thā vo bhī maiñ aur jo nahīñ thā vo bhī maiñ
aap hī thā zamīn par aap hī āsmāñ meñ thā
lams-e-sadā-e-sāz ne zaḳhm nihāl kar diye
ye to vahī hunar hai jo dast-e-tabīb-e-jāñ meñ thā
ḳhvāb-e-ziyāñ haiñ umr kā ḳhvāb haiñ hāsil-e-hayāt
is kā bhī thā yaqīñ mujhe vo bhī mire gumāñ meñ thā
ḳhanjar o dashna o sināñ ye to bahāne haiñ miyāñ
aap na sharmsār hoñ zaḳhm sirisht-e-jāñ meñ thā
hadd-e-gumāñ se ek shaḳhs duur kahīñ chalā gayā
maiñ bhī vahīñ chalā gayā maiñ bhī guzishtagāñ meñ thā
raaz-e-darun-e-astin kashmakash-e-bayan mein tha
aag abhi nafas mein thi shoala abhi zaban mein tha
wo jo kahin tha wo bhi main aur jo nahin tha wo bhi main
aap hi tha zamin par aap hi aasman mein tha
lams-e-sada-e-saz ne zaKHm nihaal kar diye
ye to wahi hunar hai jo dast-e-tabib-e-jaan mein tha
KHwab-e-ziyan hain umr ka KHwab hain hasil-e-hayat
is ka bhi tha yaqin mujhe wo bhi mere guman mein tha
KHanjar o dashna o sinan ye to bahane hain miyan
aap na sharmsar hon zaKHm sirisht-e-jaan mein tha
hadd-e-guman se ek shaKHs dur kahin chala gaya
main bhi wahin chala gaya main bhi guzishtagan mein tha
